Story
Husky lovers… we’ve got one that will steal the whole show. Meet Bernice — aka Bernie — and yes… she knows she’s stunning. Those ice-blue eyes don’t just look at you… they evaluate you. That little smirk? It says she already has a plan. And that Husky personality? Fully charged and ready for action. Bernie is one year old and everything people love (and respect) about the breed: smart, expressive, athletic, and just the right amount of dramatic. She bonds deeply with her people — the kind of dog who doesn’t just live in your home… she becomes part of your daily rhythm. Your sidekick. Your shadow. Your “what are we doing next?” partner. Bernie at a Glance • 1 year old Husky • Sweet and affectionate with her people • Highly intelligent and alert • Thrives with structure and engagement What Bernie Needs • Secure fenced-in yard (non-negotiable for this explorer) • No small dogs • No cats • No small children • Experienced owner who understands the Husky mindset Bernie isn’t a “set it and forget it” kind of dog. She’s a “let’s go, let’s think, let’s LIVE” kind of dog. If you love Huskies for their bold personalities, their brains, and their big energy — she is exactly what you’ve been looking for. And once she chooses you… you’ll know.

Story
MEET JAYCO Jayco is a handsome 7-year, 7-month-old Husky who is more than ready to trade shelter life for soft beds, quiet afternoons, and a family of his own. Jayco is bonded with his buddy Junior, and of course our biggest wish would be to see these two senior boys find a home together. But we also know the reality: sometimes dogs need to be adopted separately in order for each of them to finally get the home they deserve. And Jayco deserves that chance. Jayco is looking for a home with: No other pets No young children Plenty of love for a sweet senior boy At his age, Jayco is past the puppy chaos and ready for the good stuff: companionship, comfort, and someone who will love him for exactly who he is.

Story
🐾💗 TAIGA IS LOOKING FOR HER NEXT CHAPTER 💗🐾 Taiga has been doing SO well in foster care, and the more we learn about her, the more we keep wondering how this girl is still waiting. 🥹 She may be a little shy when something is brand new, but once she settles in, she is such a sweet, funny, affectionate girl. Her foster family has learned that Taiga is: 🚗 Great in the car 🏡 Housebroken 🛏️ Crate trained 🐶 Wonderful with her doggy foster sibling 🐱 Pretty much ignores the cats 👧 Great with kids 🦮 Continuing to improve on leash 💗 Happy to be part of regular home life And yes, she TALKS. 😂 Her foster mom says “hello,” and Taiga will often howl it right back. Say “outside” and she breaks into her little happy dance before heading for the door. Taiga has blossomed beautifully in her current foster home, but we do need to start planning ahead. Her foster mom will begin traveling for work in October, so we are looking for either: 💗 An adopter who is ready to make Taiga part of the family OR 🏡 A new foster home where she can continue thriving until her forever family comes along We would especially love to see her go straight from foster care into her forever home, but either option would be a huge help. 🐾 Dog friendly, meet and greet required with resident dogs 🐱 Cat friendly 👧 Kid friendly 🏡 Securely fenced backyard required Please share Taiga. She has already shown us what a wonderful family dog she can be. Now she just needs the right people to find her. 💗 📌 Adoption and foster applications are pinned at the top of our page. All pets in the home must be spayed/neutered and up to date on vaccinations. Vet references will be checked.
