Story
Casper is a playful and energetic dog. He is good with other dog. He also get along well with cats (as witnessed on how he deal with our neighbor's cat). I have 2 kids and a new infant he's been so gentle with them, most especially to the infant. When we had him I believe he was already trained and knows how to behave inside and outside of the house. All in all he is a good dog who loves to play and run freely. ##1701663##

Story
Age: 1 year oldWeight: 28.5kg / 62.8lbA little bit about Loki:- Unknown history with children; all interactions should be carefully supervised by an adult- History of living with cats, can chase so would be better with dog-savvy cats; all introductions should be done slowly over a period of time- Unknown history with small animals; all introductions should be done slowly over a period of time- History of living with multiple dogs during a short term foster placement. Potential for select dog in home pending successful D2D interactionMeet Loki, a young Siberian Husky with a heart full of love, a voice made for howling, and just a little medical mystery in his past. Loki came to us after experiencing a few unusual episodes where he’d stop breathing briefly and seem disoriented—but all vet exams, including bloodwork and physicals, have come back normal. He’s had only one possible episode while in shelter care, and none since. Adopters should know that the cause is still unknown—it could be seizure or fainting-related—and further veterinary follow-up may be needed post-adoption, at the adopter’s discretion.Health quirks aside, Loki is a classic husky through and through. He’s full of playful energy, loves zooming around with other dogs, and is happiest with plenty of exercise and enrichment to keep his brain and body busy. He briefly lived with cats, but may chase—so any feline roommates should be dog-savvy and introductions slow.In foster, Loki charmed everyone with his naps, playful spirit, and goofy habits—he’s got a thing for garbage cans and toilet paper rolls! Crate training is a work in progress, but he’s already made big strides.Loki thrives with routine, positive reinforcement, and companionship. He’d love an active home (preferably with a canine buddy!) where he can keep learning, keep running, and keep singing the song of his people. For the right person, he’s sure to be a loyal, joyful, slightly mysterious best friend.

Story
Age: 1 year oldWeight: 20.6kg / 45.42lbA little bit about Honey:- Unknown history with children; all interactions should be carefully supervised by an adult- History of living with cats. Some history of chasing cats in home; all introductions should be done slowly over a period of time- Unknown history with small animals; all introductions should be done slowly over a period of time - History of living with other dogs, some history of potential resource guarding; potential for another dog in home pending successful introductionMeet Honey, a sweet and spirited Husky mix who’s ready to find her forever home! Honey came to the shelter through no fault of her own and is eager to bring her joyful energy to a new family.She’s lived with both cats and dogs before—while she may sometimes chase cats, she could do well with a confident, dog-savvy feline after slow introductions. She also enjoys the company of other dogs but can get a bit protective around food, so thoughtful mealtime management will help everyone live in harmony.Honey absolutely loves being around people and furry friends alike. She’s not a fan of being alone, so having a canine companion to keep her company while her humans are at work would be a big bonus.True to her breed mix, Honey is high-energy and happiest when she’s running, playing, and being part of the action. If you’re looking for an adventurous and affectionate pup to be your jogging buddy, hiking partner, or backyard zoomie queen—Honey might be your perfect match!
