As a young puppy, she was found wandering the streets by herself with no family in sight. At an age when puppies should be playing and feeling safe, Linda was trying to figure out how to survive on her own. Thankfully, caring rescuers found her and brought her to safety before she had to spend much longer facing the world alone. Today, Linda is healthy, happy, and ready to leave her difficult beginning behind. She has blossomed into a playful, affectionate puppy who greets each day with excitement and an endless wagging tail. Linda loves spending time with people and enjoys making new canine friends. She has a fun-loving personality and is always ready for her next adventure. One of her favorite games is chasing a ball, and she could happily play fetch over and over again. She also absolutely loves the water. Whether she's splashing in a kiddie pool, playing with the hose, or enjoying bath time, Linda is happiest when she gets the chance to cool off and have fun. As an Australian Kelpie / Carolina Dog Mix, Linda is expected to grow into an intelligent, loyal, and active companion. Australian Kelpies are known for their exceptional intelligence, athletic ability, and eagerness to learn, while Carolina Dogs are admired for their adaptability, awareness, and strong family bonds. Together, these breeds create a wonderful companion for an active family that enjoys outdoor adventures and wants a dog who loves being involved in everyday life. Linda would thrive in a home that offers: Daily walks and outdoor adventures Plenty of games of fetch and interactive play Water activities and swimming whenever possible Positive reinforcement training Puzzle toys and mental enrichment Continued socialization with people and other dogs A consistent daily routine A lifetime of love, patience, and commitment Linda has already overcome a difficult beginning. Now she's simply looking for a family that will give her the happy future every puppy deserves. Training, Adjustment & What to Expect Like all puppies, Linda is still learning about the world around her. Her new family should expect normal puppy behaviors such as chewing, teething, learning house manners, and exploring everything with curiosity. Linda is bright, eager to please, and loves interacting with people, making her an excellent candidate for positive reinforcement training. Early socialization and consistent guidance will help her grow into a confident, well-mannered adult dog. Please remember the 3-3-3 Rule: 3 Days to decompress and begin feeling safe 3 Weeks to learn your household routine 3 Months to fully settle into family life Linda will benefit from: Positive reinforcement training House-training and consistent routines Daily exercise and supervised play Continued socialization with people and other animals Mental enrichment through puzzle toys and interactive games Plenty of patience, encouragement, and affection With love, structure, and guidance, Linda has all the qualities needed to become an amazing lifelong companion. Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care Bringing home a puppy is a lifelong commitment that includes proper veterinary care, training, exercise, and companionship. As part of responsible pet ownership, Linda will need: Completion of her puppy vaccination schedule and routine wellness examinations Spaying if it has not already been completed, following your veterinarian's recommendation Monthly flea, tick, heartworm, and parasite prevention A nutritious diet that supports healthy growth and development Daily physical exercise and mental enrichment Continued obedience training and socialization A safe, loving indoor home where she is treated as a cherished member of the family Because Linda is still growing, strenuous repetitive exercise and excessive jumping should be limited until her joints have fully developed. We also recommend scheduling a wellness visit with your veterinarian shortly after adoption to establish care and ensure she continues to thrive.

Meet Apollo Breed: Husky / Kelpie Mix Sex: Male DOB: 10/2/2022 Weight: 46 Pounds Health: Neutered, vaccinated, and a cancer survivor Apollo is more than just a dog — he’s a true survivor with a heart full of love and resilience. After bravely going through 10 rounds of chemotherapy, Apollo has shown incredible strength and determination. Today, he’s a happy, loving boy who hasn’t let his past define him. Instead, he embraces life with joy, energy, and a deep desire to finally have a family of his own. Personality Apollo is friendly, affectionate, and full of life. He loves people and does wonderfully with kids, making him a great family companion. He also gets along well with other dogs and enjoys both playtime and companionship. Apollo has a loving, loyal nature and thrives when he is around his humans. He’s the kind of dog who will happily join you on walks, adventures, or simply relax by your side at the end of the day. Breed Info Husky and Kelpie mixes are intelligent, active, and highly loyal dogs. Huskies are known for their friendly nature and love of companionship, while Kelpies bring focus, energy, and a strong desire to engage. This combination creates a dog who enjoys both physical activity and mental stimulation. With proper exercise and structure, dogs like Apollo become incredibly devoted companions who thrive when included in daily life. Owner Responsibilities Apollo will do best with an adopter who can provide regular exercise, engagement, and companionship. Daily walks, playtime, and mentally stimulating activities will help keep him balanced and happy. Continued positive reinforcement training will strengthen his bond with his adopter and give him structure. Given his medical history, ongoing attention to his health and routine vet care will be important. ⚠️ Things to Consider Before adopting Apollo, it’s important to consider your long-term stability and lifestyle. Are pets allowed where you live now and in the future? If you move, will Apollo move with you? Do you have time each day for exercise, companionship, and engagement? Are you financially prepared for routine veterinary care and any future needs? Dogs like Apollo deserve a home that will stand by them for life. Vet Care Apollo has already shown incredible strength through his treatment, and continued veterinary care will be important to support his long-term health. Establishing care with your own veterinarian soon after adoption will help ensure he continues to thrive and receive proper monitoring. Understanding the 3-3-3 Rule Like most rescue dogs, Apollo will need time to adjust to his new home. The first 3 days he may feel unsure as he decompresses. The first 3 weeks he will begin learning your routine and feeling more secure. By 3 months, his confidence will grow and his loving personality will fully shine. Patience and consistency during this time will help him settle in successfully. Why Apollo? Apollo has already proven how strong and resilient he is. Now, he’s ready for the life he truly deserves — one filled with love, stability, and companionship. Dogs like Apollo don’t just love… they love deeply. The family who gives him a home will gain a loyal, grateful companion who will cherish every moment by their side.

Quincy was rescued from a hoarder home in Ogden, UT. We took her in to foster, as there were many animals in immediate need. She was a bit skittish at first. But quickly became comfortable with the family. She is sweet and smart and loyal. Stays by my dads side every second she gets. Will be most successful in a calm home with someone who can give her a lot of love and attention. She lives with a cat and has no problem with her. She stays on the front porch when let out. My dad’s cancer progression has left him incapable of continuing to give Quincy the care and attention she needs.
