Story
Coax and Jameson are six-year-old Aussie/Husky mix brothers, 65 lbs each, neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. They were raised from an accidental litter and need a new home after their family moved and downsized following the arrival of a newborn. Outdoors They're smart, and eager to please; indoors They're mellow, affectionate, and independent. Coax is the more expressive sibling, while Jameson is gentle and quiet. Their last vet visit was 08/01/2025. They're healthy, playful companions looking for an active home. It is with a heavy heart that I need to rehome them. Please reach out if you have the space for them. Thank you.

Story
Astro is a happy, handsome boy with a gorgeous black-and-white coat, a smile that lights up the room, and the kind of loyalty you dream about. At around 1–2 years old, he’s in that perfect sweet spot: playful, curious, and full of love to give! He’s the kind of dog who will follow you around like your shadow, ready to join in on adventures, car rides, or cozy naps on the couch. Astro is super smart and loves learning new things — especially when treats are involved! Whether it’s fetch in the yard or a puzzle toy in the living room, this boy loves fun and engagement. Astro would do best in a home where he can get lots of attention, playtime, and a bit of structure to help him keep shining. He’s already got a great start and just needs someone who’s ready to keep building that bond with him. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a big heart and even bigger potential, Astro’s your guy! 💫

She is an ideal medium size, has a nice chocolate coat, with white socks and a white glove on her front leg - just so gorgeous:) She has the most beautiful baby blue eyes who looks at you with all her puppy love. She loves to kiss you and loves to go around the other other dogs cleaning their face and giving them kisses - just a doll:) She will be ideal for any family.
