Story
Koda is a 2 year old Malamute/Husky mix. There were people walking around the flea market trying to sell her. We bought her. She is super sweet, she loves people, cats, and other dogs. She liked kids too. She killed our chickens and got out front and killed a neighbor's chicken. This is why we need to rehome her.

Story
A few months ago my family and I found a sweet german shepherd mix roaming the streets for days hungry so we took him in, got him neutered and vaccinated, and adopted him. We love him very much, but are unable to give him the time and attention he deserves as we work full time and go to school full time. We wish we could keep him, but are looking to rehome him with someone that will have the bandwidth to care for him the way he needs. He is a very sweet dog, but comes from a background of trauma and neglect. We found out that he was abandoned and mistreated by past owners before we adopted him and wanted to try our best to give him the love he deserved, but it has been tough with the lack of time we are able to spend at home. He needs lots of space and ample time outdoors, loves to cuddle and is very playful and affectionate. Please message me if you are seriously interested in adopting him. We have a supply of food, treats, feeding bowls, and leash to help get you started.
