Story
***I WOULD PREFER A HOME WITH TEENS +I am a very energetic girl. I am a little nervous and hate being restrained. I like to mouth at your hands and will need a lot of training to learn my manners. I would do best with a family who does not have any young children, and who understands my body language and can help me be my best self!

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
CHANCE – have you ever seen a more handsome fella? Just a few things about this sweet guy. The vet believes that Chance is between 18mo - 2yrs old and weighs 59lbs. • He is heart worm negative and neutered. •He is super sweet and gentle - wants to cuddle and be near his person. •He is dog-friendly (the foster doesn’t have cats, so we are not certain if he’s cat-friendly) •He is people-friendly to everyone he has met. Foster does not have small children, but he has been fine around children on walks. Due to his size and youth, he might knock down small children, but he is not aggressive. •He is house broken. Even in the rain and snow he has let us know he needs to go out. •He is a little timid to new people at first, but warms up quickly. •He very rarely barks. •He has learned to sit, walk on a leash, and “wait” for his food bowl to be put down. •He is very food motivated, so can be easily trained with treat rewards. He is not reactive when eating. •He can be possessive over certain toys with a low, warning growl if another dog tries to take it from him. •He is not interested in fetching a ball, but loves chew toys and antlers. • He can be very active, but is also happy cuddled up with his person. •He would do great in a house with another dog, but would be fine as an only dog also. Once adopted Chance will travel via private transport (transport cost is $160.00) to a location closest to you.

Size

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Miss Ruby came to us from a breeding farm in PA. She has had more litters than we can only imagine in her short life. She is not looking back on that old life and is ready for her happily ever after in a home where she can rest by the air conditioner and be loved. She is a sweet girl and would love to be a companion to children 8 years and older, to spoil her and give her attention. What better life to have in your senior years than a family to love you? Ruby is a big girl but could lose a little bit of weight and get her body back in shape from years of neglect.

Story
Minnie came to us from a local shelter after she was dropped off by her family who no longer wanted her. Minnie is around three years old but is all puppy at heart. Minnie is sweet and very strong. Life is very exciting and she is ready to explore! She is working on her leash skills but she says it's hard being a malamute built to pull sleds! She would be great at skijoring and is ready for the cold weather. She will need someone that can continue to work with her on her leash skills and living in a home again. Minnie is crate trained and very respectful. She would love to be where you are and be involved in anything you are doing. She loves her toys and chasing balls although she hasn't mastered the fetch and return part, lol. She is smart and ready to learn new tricks.
