Story
I am looking for a foster or forever family! Please CLICK HERE to sign up to foster! Select the "Apply for Adoption" if you would like to adopt I am Nara. I am from Arkansas. I'm a super sweet and outgoing gril. My foster parents tell me I'm a super goofy girl, I like to hop and spin around like a bunny. I loveeeeee all the people in the entire world. I want to jump up and give you hugs and get all the pets! I am a sweet girl who wants to bounce around and play all the time. I love other dogs and just want to play! My foster parents say I can be a bit extra for some dogs who want a little more space, but I just want to play! For the benefit of all, slow intros will serve my dog friends best! I love all people and mean well but my excitment may get the best of me and I could knock down small childern! So a little older childern would be best! I am house trained and crate trained (need a little encouragement to go in). My foster parents fenced back yard is the best and I could stay out and play all day long. Kongs and toys are the best thing invented sense sliced bread. Do I sound like the perfect dog for you ?

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Hey there, I'm Wonky Woofer! I'm a super sweet dog who craves love and attention. I love to play and frolick outside; while fetch can be entertaining, I'm truly in my element when I get the zoomies from the excitement of your company. Other dogs? They're like instant playmates, turning every encounter into a fun game. I will admit, it took me a little time to settle into my new home and space, but once I did, it became clear that companionship was all that was missing from my life. Whether it's snuggling up on the couch or sprawling out on the floor, I'm always eager to be by your side, following your every move. I am 90% housetrained having an accident once and a while.  I've mastered the art of sitting patiently, waiting for mealtime until you grant the go-ahead, though a gentle reminder to sit never hurts. And let me tell you, when it comes to food or treats, I'm positively ecstatic—I just can't contain my excitement! Truly, I'm the epitome of a loyal companion, a true man's best friend. Wonky Woofer is from local impound. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application.

Story
A portion of Daisy's adoption fee has been sponsored by her friends at The Murray Fund. Hi I'm Daisy! From the Foster: Daisy is one of the most incredible dogs I have ever known. Anyone would be lucky to have her in their life, and in the right environment, Daisy shines more than any dog I have ever known. The key for Daisy is to set her up for success, and the right environment is going to be the first step. Daisy is a typical husky when it comes to her hilarious personality, intelligence and vocal nature. She also loves to sing the songs of her ancestors and bring out her stubborn side, especially when asked to come inside in the middle of a snowstorm. Daisy has some anxiety and reactivity to noises, commotion, and other dogs. Living in a quieter environment will be key to helping her have a more relaxed approach to daily life and not have all the noises of things like city life right outside her door, making her on high alert. This means no shared walls for sure, and a space that is a bit more private. A private fenced-in yard? A more rural home without close neighbors? Some land she can sniff and explore? Yes!! This would be Daisy's dream :). Daisy is also dog selective. This means she needs to decide which dogs she wants to be friends with, allowing the proper time and space to do so. She won't be a dog park kind of dog, or a social butterfly at dog-friendly breweries, etc. She prefers male dogs, has bonded very well with previous male puppies we've fostered, and is the best of friends with my male husky mix. She is not cat friendly, so a home without cats is ideal. I would love to see Daisy with an adopter who understands her needs when it comes to her reactivity and anxiety; someone who is open to continuing to help her with training, but who also understands that this is part of who Daisy is. She's a wonderful girl and has come so far while with me, and I'm sure will continue to improve in lessening her anxiety and reactivity. Daisy would love an active family who wants to do all the things with their doggy BFF like hiking trails, checking out camping sites, and going for runs in the snow. She would love to try skijoring, bikejoring, canicross, agility, etc. It takes a little extra planning to do all these things in a place where she can be more comfortable and not surrounded by a lot of other people and dogs, but that little extra planning is so worth it!! Daisy's favorite moments are when she's outside in a private environment where she can feel safe and at peace. She is a frequent visitor of SniffSpots and other spaces she can enjoy by herself or with her foster brother. To sum it up, Daisy needs someone who is open to meeting her where she is at, and someone who sees and truly believes that Daisy is worth it because she really is. Daisy will change your life for the better if you let her. The adoption fee sponsorship credit of $200.00 will be applied during the contract process!

Story
Hi, my name is Jacob and I was an owner surrender. From the foster: We are Jacobs second foster family, his first foster had this to say " Jacob is a happy, handsome Husky with calm energy. I describe it as calm energy because it is different than puppy energy. He will talk to you in his low husky voice to say good morning, tell you he his hungry or when he sees the leash come out because he is excited to go and explore. He loves to spend time in the backyard and play with our neighbor's dog. He lives with our 6 year old cattle dog and my 11 and 13 year old. Jacob likes to be pet, brushed, and snuggle while watching TV. Sometimes he will fetch, but it seems to be on his terms. I noticed that he likes to bury his toys in blankets which is super cute. I have enjoyed getting to know this husky breed, sometimes he seems so human. He even tried to keep the kids from jumping in the pool by putting his arms around them. While Jacob is 6, it does not appear that he had been taught basic obedience. He is a very good boy considering the lack of training. He rarely barks, he only jumps up when he sees the leash, and has not shown any leash aggression. He may get excited to see another dog, but it is not aggression. Jacob will pull on a leash until he gets more energy out and then he will settle in. He will require a fenced yard and training for owner and Jacob to be the best they can be together." Our update: In the time that Jacob has been with us he has not had any accidents in the house, though he did mark his favorite bed once. He loves wrestling with our two year old malamute and the two of them will play for hours. Jake does have a little bit of the typical husky mischief making and stubbornness. We have been working hard on his obedience which is improving quickly. As well he has been crated at night and during the day when we are away. While he does not like his crate, he protests less every day and generally quiets down after a few minutes. Jacob is a great companion and a joy to spend time with. Jacob has been taking an anti anxiety medication through his transition to our home. Our impression is that he is fearful of being left alone and the medication helps him relax in his crate when we have to leave him. The hope is that once he is more comfortable with his crate and settling into a forever home that he would no longer need this medication.

Hi, I'm Warner and I'm from Oklahoma! From my foster: Sawyer (aka Warner) is the sweetest pup and is looking for his forever family! He loves children and does great with other animals. He is still working on potty training but is very smart and usually sits by the door! He also knows how to sit, lay down, shake, and is learning the command "stay. He does well in a crate but sometimes gets lonely and cries out. He loves to cuddle, play fetch, and play in the snow. Sawyer will be the perfect addition to any family! From the Vet: I'm Warner, still a young pup with some behavior battles to win, but I know I will learn! The vet also wanted my future family to know that I have a chronic cough that is being diagnosed, but its suspected to be from a possible previous parasite or allergy. I have a recheck appointment scheduled 3/29 to get the the bottom of all of that! I hope to meet you soon! I'm so excited to settle into my furever home!
