Story
NEED FOSTER HOME FOR ONE OF THE MIXED PUPPIES FROM KIKKI'S STAR WARS LITTER!! Meet Hera, a loving, energetic companion looking for a foster or forever home. Hera is a charming dog with a heart full of loyalty and affection. She can be shy upon initially meeting someone, but adapts quickly. Once comfortable, her playful spirit and boundless energy shine through. Hera enjoys walks and is currently building confidence on leash. She has been fostered in a multi-animal home and gets along with other dogs very well. She sometimes needs a reminder to give the cats some space. She is potty trained as well as crate trained although she can be anxious when left alone at times. A calm, male companion would be ideal for her. Her foster home is currently working on basic training, including some tricks. She is very smart but can be stubborn. You will need some creativity to keep her engaged while training. Several short sessions as opposed to a long one. If you are looking for a devoted friend who will bring joy and enthusiasm into your life, Hera might be a match. Her lovable personality would ensure her becoming a cherished part of your family!! She is very smart and needs an owner who will engage her brain: obedience, fast cat, agility.  Prefer owners with some previous experience with dogs.  She will be spayed prior to placement.  See more pix and video at https://www.facebook.com/akitarescue.org/Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 10, 2025, 8:47 am

Story
Roof, my name is Brody! I am a 4 year old Siberian Husky that loves to play, nap and take long walks. My friends describe me as playful, goofy, loving and always making room for treats with lots of huggies in between. You may have seen my cousins on social media but rest assured we 'huskies' are not all the same. Granted, I do shed, however, I love getting groomed and don't mind the vet. I also don't yell at the top of my lungs like a fire truck! I am really quiet and sometimes camera shy when it comes to selfies. I am professionally trained and occasionally need a few gentle reminders because I get so excited when it's time to go outside. I absolutely love car rides and playing with my pack friends at daycare. You would be my perfect match if you work from home, very active (ie. walking/biking/hiking 2-5 miles a day), have a backyard for me to exhaust my zoomies and/or have experience with my fellow husky family. I'd love to meet you and hope we can be future roomies!
