Story
We have had Fenris since he was 10 weeks old. He was socialized with people and other animals from a very young age. Our son and the neighborhood children are always playing with him. He has shown no aggression towards people. We will hold large parties at our house and he does well with guests. Sometimes he will be a little weary towards certain strangers but he can easily be bought with a treat. He is not a high energy dog and prefers to lay next to you on the couch. I feel like he is the perfect dog with one exception. Over the past year he has been attacking our other pets. He has bitten all 3 of our other pets. We have tried dog trainers and rearranging out entire house. It keeps escalating and it is not fair to our other pets. It breaks our heart to have to do this but we don't want to wait until he kills one of our other pets. Please do not have other pets in the home if you are thinking about adopting Fenris.

Story
Simba has spent too long waiting for his forever family. 💔 This strong and spirited Akita-Husky mix is full of energy, loves his toys, and is happiest on long walks or playing with his human. He’s sweet, loyal, and ready for the right home. If you’re looking for a dog with personality and heart, Simba is waiting to meet you! 🐕 Adopt Simba: https://form.jotform.com/221926016430144 Full profile: Simba is a 6-8-year-old Akita-Husky mix with the personality of an Akita and the heart of a lion. He’s playful, sweet, and full of energy but needs a confident and strong adopter who understands his needs. 💪 Strength & Training: Simba is powerful and can pull when excited, so he needs someone physically capable of managing his strength. He’s learning commands like sit, down, paw, and “potty” and thrives with structure. A harness might help with his pulling. 🐾 Energy & Personality: Simba is not always a couch potato! He loves long walks (2+ miles is no problem), playing with his toys, and getting plenty of attention. He’s affectionate and cuddly but always ready for adventure. 🏡 Home Needs: Simba would do best in a home without small children due to his strength and energy. He’s good with other dogs, especially more timid ones, but does best with boundaries around toys and space. He’s also quite the counter-surfer, so keeping things out of reach is key! 🐕 Health: Simba has a thyroid condition that is managed with treatment, giving him renewed energy and playfulness. Simba has had a lot of love and care from his foster, but he’s ready to find his forever home. If you’re looking for a strong, loyal, and playful companion, Simba could be your perfect match. 💙 Ready to meet Simba? Apply to adopt him and give this big-hearted boy the home he deserves. 📌 Share to help Simba find his forever home Currently being cared in Southern California, but can be transported up to northern states, such as Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, and anywhere within the US continental, if a great suitable family is willing to adopt him.

These pups are in Vancouver, Washington too!

Story
Adopt me on the 4th of December and my fee is waived! It's the Craig Stein Yappy Hour and we're honoring our friend Craig by waiving adoption fees for all pets. And every pet adopted during the promotion will also receive a branded bandana and a starter kit with food, treats, and toys!Here's what you need to know about me:I can be shy in new spaces. I need a family who will let me take things at my own pace as I learn about new things. Once I come out of my shell, I have lots of love to give.I can be nervous around new people. It just takes me a little while to get comfortable. But once I get to know you, I'm very loving.I have some handling sensitivity. That means I have some preferences about how and where I get petted. My human friends at the shelter can tell you more!It's recommended I meet any dogs or kids living in my new home before I'm adopted. I just want to make sure we all get along. Primary Color: White Weight: 55.7 Age: 2yrs 8mths 1wks

Story
Lucy is a pure Siberian husky, with a smaller frame. She loves car rides, and going for walks. The most important thing is that Lucy goes to a loving home; She is 5 years old, and in perfect health, both of her eyes are crystal blue .. she is not a very big eater. She is trained to go outside, and great with kids, but she does get a little protective of her toys and treats so keep an eye out if you have real little ones. She isn’t “fixed” so she can have babies, but I hate to think of her going through that kind of pain😢. But at the end of the day, it will be your dog. Im in a desperate situation, I need to leave from an abusive ex who found out where I live, and unfortunately I can bring Lucy with me. I am looking for someone to pick her up within the next few days. The sooner the better! Pls contact me any time.
