Story
Buster is a wonderful puppy, but not the right fit for our family. We have an older dog, smaller, that gets a long very well with Buster, is having a hard time with a large energetic puppy. Buster currently attends puppy classes and is doing wonderfully, so he does get along with other dogs. When we adopted Buster, we were told he would be around 30-50 lbs. After a vet visit and having him for a month, we have learned that he will be closer to 80 pounds. We do not have the space for a large dog. He is the most adorable and friendly puppy. He is completely crate trained, still needs some work with potty training. This is not an easy decision for our family, we are incredibly sad to even have to put up this advertisement. But we know he could be happier in another home.

Meet CeeCee!   A little about CeeCee: -sweet, easy-going lovebug who thrives on affection, encouragement, and being told they're doing a great job (because they are) -certified sniff connoisseur who treats walks like a sightseeing tour; slow, thoughtful, and very nose-led -treats and kind words are the fastest way to their heart. Praise? Yes. Snacks? Also yes   CeeCee would best enjoy a home that: -lets them be the main character and soak up all the attention without needing to share their things -includes daily walks, cozy routines, and plenty of time to explore the world at their own pace -believes in positive vibes only; gentle guidance, reassurance, and lots of "good job" energy     CeeCee may do best as the only dog while she's still comfortable meeting dogs outside of the home #nodogs #nocats #fostereligible Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Weight: 93.4 Age: 2yrs 0mths 3wks

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.  MAGGIE is a people&#226&#128&#145loving sweetheart who absolutely soaks up attention. She has that classic Malamute mix of affection and independence—one moment she’s leaning in for belly rubs, and the next she’s striking a regal pose, surveying her kingdom like the queen she knows she is. She loves being with her human pack, enjoying pets, cuddles, and all the affection you’re willing to give. Daily walks are one of her favorite activities—she enjoys exploring the neighborhood and taking in all the sights and smells. She’s also a great travel buddy and rides beautifully in the car, always ready to join you on your next adventure. MAGGIE has done well with older kids, but she does like to put her paws up on people when she’s excited, so a home without small children is best. When it comes to other dogs, she can be selective—she prefers calm, larger dogs and appreciates slow introductions. After a good play session, she’s perfectly content to head home for a well&#226&#128&#145earned nap. In true queen fashion, MAGGIE prefers to rule her home with confidence and grace. She wants reassurance that she’ll get attention when she wants it, and she’ll reward you with loyalty and love. Her ideal home includes a big, fenced yard where she can relax, enjoy some quiet time, and keep watch over her domain. Indoors, she loves lounging near her people, making sure everyone is safe and accounted for. MAGGIE is currently being fostered in Manson, WA, and her foster is willing to transport her for meet&#226&#128&#145and&#226&#128&#145greets within a few hours’ drive. If you’re looking for a loving, loyal companion with a dash of queenly flair, MAGGIE may be the perfect addition to your family.
