Story
Dakota is a handsome name, kind of a "rugged" kind of name, right?? I am kind of a REFINED RUGGED kind of boy! For instance, I am a busy boy, I love playing and running with my doggy friends, however, I can lay at your feet very sweetly to beg for your attention. I am kind of like a "reverse" planter as well. I mean, you plant it and i will un-plant it for you :D I won't do it often, just when I want your attention and I am outside alone. So see?? you have great control over that urge! So I am a food and toy lover too, I eat out of a slow feeder bowl because wolfing down my food is not an option! I am learning all things toys and am actually learning how to bring the ball BACK after you throw it. I am a smart and very sweet boy. I do absolutely have a prey drive so no kitties for small furry mammals around me please. I am fully potty trained and great in a crate. Now i just need you to adopt me to complete my circle of life. Now, before you go all "Lion King" on me, just know that I will be your bestest buddy forever!! I am two VERY loyal breeds and once I know you are my family, you will have my unending love :) Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)

Story
History: Our Out of the Cold Rescue Effort was a great success in welcoming over 180+ animals to rescue from rural areas in North Dakota before the cold set in. These animals are all so deserving and thankful to get a second chance in finding a forever home of their own! A Note from the Foster: Greetings! If you are a Greek Mythology fan you may have heard of my namesake; Boreas, the god of the north wind. My name was chosen for me because I was part of the OOTC (Out of the Cold) rescue effort that happens each November to help save dogs like me from spending the frigid winter fending for ourselves. Now that I have explained my name, I want to tell you about me! I am a sweet, big boy who is still learning how big I really am. I am also working on basic manners because no one ever taught me how to be the best boy until I came to rescue. I love to run and play around the yard with the other dogs in my foster home. Chasing each other around the yard is fun. I love to chase the ball if you throw it, but the concept of picking it up and bringing it back is completely lost to me (for now). So many things to learn! It is clear that I have not had a lot of exposure to things like leashes or being in a home. I am working really hard on learning how to be a good boy. My foster momma says it's a good thing I am adorable. I will need a family that can help me continue to learn how to be the best boy. Maybe that's you?

Haku JuM*

Husky Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 7 yrs 2 mos
Richfield, MN
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Haku means "pure" in Japanese! I was named for my pure, passionate and overwhelming love for everyone around me! I came to the rescue when my dad was stationed in Japan and heartbroken that he couldn't take me with him. I've missed him so much ever since! Everyday I do the things I did with him with other dogs so I can try and remember what it felt like to be with him! But it's just not the same. So, I'm hoping a new family can come scoop me up and show me what it feels like to be a part of a home and family again! I am good with other dogs, I love playing chase with them or tugging on chew toys. I'll need a happy and active home so that my life will be full of love and fun! I am a bit anxious and nervous around new people, and people in general! Slow introductions, a safe space I can retreat to like a crate and not forcing me into spaces with tons of people will help me be myself all the time! Haku can only be adopted in the local or TX area. Local adoption only, in San Antonio or TX area, $200.
