Story
Perdita (A136720) is a 2-year-old AK Husky x Lab mix who weighed 58 pounds on intake! 11/27/24 This sweet lady is Perdita! Perdita arrived at the shelter as a stray and defaulted to the borough. She was known to be quite the wanderer and is looking for an owner who can keep her contained. Perdita appears to be housebroken and wants to do her business outside but might need some reminders as she settles into her new routine. We also encourage her next owner to bring her to a basic obedience class with a certified trainer to continue working on her manners and teach her a trick or two! We do not know her history with other animals and children. Please ensure you are making appropriate introductions with all new potential friends. If you are interested in meeting Perdita, please let us know! December 20, 2024, 2:30 pm

Story
Izzy (A136118) is a 2-year-old Chow Chow mix who weighed 54.7 pounds on intake! 12/06/24 This lovely lady is Izzy! Izzy was surrendered to the shelter because her prior owner realized they had too many dogs and no way to contain them. Izzy was said to do great with other dogs, has no experience around cats, and loves to chase squirrels! She was also said to do fabulous with people of all ages, including babies and children! She was very sweet on intake despite being a little nervous. Izzy was known to be kennel trained and housebroken in her past home and has kept her kennel very tidy at the shelter! She was sent out for bloodwork and a dental courtesy of the amazing shelter fund! Now that she has been medically cleared she is eager to find her new family to love! If you are interested in meeting Izzy, please let us know! December 19, 2024, 11:42 pm

Story
Kiara (A136934) is an 8-month-old Pitbull x AK Husky mix who weighed 36.8 pounds on intake! 12/16/24 This energetic pup is Kiara! Kiara is looking for a home that she can grow old in! She is a high energy girl looking for an owner who can keep her both mentally and physically stimulated. Her prior owner stated she is very smart and we think she would benefit from attending a basic obedience class to continue working on her manners. Her prior owner did state that she is kennel trained and is housebroken! She does have a rough style of play which is not always well received by other animals. She did grow up with a cat and they were said to be friends and would play with each other. Keep in mind that slow, safe, and controlled introductions should always be made. If you are interested in meeting Kiara and feel that you could meet her needs, please let us know! December 19, 2024, 5:04 pm
