Story

This shy and sweet husky mix is looking for a home! Juniper is 2.5 y/o, dog-friendly, house/crate/obedience trained, spayed and up to date on shots. It takes her a bit to warm up to new people but once she does, she's an absolute cuddlebug. She's untested with cats and would do well in a household with older or no kids. Juniper loves playing with other dogs and would make an excellent running companion.

Story

Hi there! I’m Apex, a happy and playful 1-year-old Husky, and I’ve got the biggest smile that’s sure to brighten your day! I’m a friendly guy who loves to be around people, and I’ve got a heart full of sweetness. I’m neutered, healthy, and ready to find my forever home with a family who appreciates both my calm, mellow side and my playful Husky energy. I’m mellow by nature and enjoy just relaxing with my favorite humans, but when it’s time to play, I can run and jump like any typical Husky! I’m always up for walks, playing fetch, or even a fun game of tug-of-war. I’m happiest when I’m with you, whether we’re being active or just chilling on the couch. I can even Netflix and chill like a pro! If you’re looking for a laid-back companion who’s still ready for some playful adventures, then I can’t wait to meet you! Let’s make this the start of something amazing. Much Love, Apex
