Story
Hi… I’m Duri 🤍 Before I met kind people, I spent a long time on my own… without care, without warmth. I just endured each day the best I could. But things have changed now. I’ve been given a chance to start over— and I’m waiting for a family to share that new beginning with. Maybe… that could be you. People say I look strong and handsome. My thick fur, my clear eyes… sometimes I remind them of a brown husky. But what I really want you to see isn’t just how I look— It’s who I am. I like people. I really do. I’ll come up to you first, gently, hoping to connect. I enjoy being close, sharing quiet moments, feeling like I belong. I also get along well with other dogs. Being around friends feels natural to me, and I’m comfortable sharing space and energy with them. Inside me, I carry something special— the calm loyalty of an Akita, and the intelligence and quick learning of a Jindo. That means when I bond with you… it won’t be shallow. It will be deep. Steady. Unbreakable. But I’m still learning. Living in a home is new to me. Things like potty training, daily routines, and how to behave indoors—these are things you’ll need to teach me, step by step. Because I’m a strong and active dog, I’ll also need guidance on walks and basic manners. I want to do well—I just need someone to show me how. In the beginning, I might seem a little unsure. A new place, a new life… it can feel overwhelming. But if you stay patient, consistent, and kind with me, I will find my balance. I’m not a difficult dog— but I am a dog who needs understanding. Someone who won’t just “have” me, but will truly live with me. Teach me. Connect with me. If you can do that… I promise you something rare. A bond built on trust. A loyalty that doesn’t fade. A companion who stands by you, no matter what. I’ve already come so far from where I started. Now I just need a place to finally belong. No more loneliness. Just warmth… and you. Will you be my forever family? 🤍

Story
Beverly is an 8-year-old Husky from El Paso looking for the fresh start she deserves. She spent over 200 days in the shelter waiting for someone to see the gentle soul behind her shy eyes. It’s suspected Beverly experienced abuse before arriving there, so she can be wary of new people at first—but once she feels safe, her sweet and loving personality shines through. Beverly is searching for a calm, patient home that will give her the time she needs to trust and settle in. She would do best as the only dog, where she can soak up all the love and attention for herself. This beautiful girl has been through so much and is more than ready to know kindness, comfort, and a family to call her own. If you’re willing to let Beverly move at her own pace, she’ll reward you with a bond that is truly special.

Story
Meet Flynn, Cinderella, Ariel, and Belle — four adorable 4-month-old Husky mixes ready to find their happily-ever-afters 🐾✨ These pups come to you from Okanogan and are right in the middle of their puppyhood — playful, curious, and eager to learn about the world around them. They are currently working on their vaccinations and will need adopters committed to continuing their vet care. Each puppy has their own unique personality, but all share that classic Husky mix charm: energetic, intelligent, and full of love. They’ll thrive in homes that can provide structure, training, and plenty of exercise as they grow. As young pups, they’re at the perfect age to bond closely with their families and learn the routines of home life. With time, patience, and consistency, Flynn, Cinderella, Ariel, and Belle will grow into loyal and loving companions. If you’re ready to add a little magic (and a lot of puppy energy!) to your life, one of these sweet pups could be your perfect match.
