Story
I’ve had Petey since he was 12 weeks old. I unfortunately became recently widowed and have to relocate from a house to an apartment that does not permit large dogs. Petey has been very spoiled and requires a loving home who lets him take over the couch. He is reactive with other dogs on walks but never been aggressive with people.

Story
Mama is 4 years old rescue mother. She is loving and loves to snuggle and sleep. She is incredibly friendly to everyone she meets. She is incredibly quite and will be verbal with awoo when she is excited or needs something (have only heard her bar a handful of times in 3 years) She has a calm temperament and is generally low maintenance most of the time. She has had professional training and has basic obedience and has had dog reactivity training. She can be reactive with other dogs, but only if they are in her space and does not go out of her way to be aggressive with other animals. The main reason she needs a home is due to intensive anxiety from thunderstorms and we are out of options to safely keep her as she has hurt herself in a panic and we both work and cannot always attend her. We have tried different crates, medications, training, and spaces to no avail. We are desperate to find a home that is open with someone that can provide the patience and love she needs and deserves.

Ghost will be 3 years old this month (September). He is a good dog. He is very friendly and loves to play with other dogs and run around. His recall is pretty good most of the time; he loves to chase squirrels and iguanas. He has never bitten another dog or person. He is somewhat of a scared dog. Sudden loud noises scare him, but he is fine with thunder and lightning. He is house-trained and doesn't chew up things around the house. He loves to run and play. He also likes going to the beach

I have had her since she was weeks old. She is s Pomsky and is 9. She is healthy. Has her vaccines and is a house dogs. She loves the dog park and is always the fastest dog there. She has lived with her blood brother all her life, a male Pomsky. Fortunately, someone had adopted him People love to stare at her because she is so cute and haven't seen many mini Huskies. She is great with kids, take a preventive monthly, and love to be pet by family and strangers...super friendly dog. Zora barks at dogs when they come by just to say hello. She very playful and howls to tell you something. She lays across the stairs to get pet before you walk up. She's super sweet. Very kind yet rambunctious doggy.

Story
shes the perfect dog but i can no longer care for her due to my move and my job. she needs good space and preferably likes to be around lots of people or kids. she can do well with dogs and cats she has lived with both in past but can be territorial with her food around other animals. she loves all humans and is very friendly has never been aggressive with any human ever, shes very friendly and loves cuddles. her ears arent up like typical husky or malamutes. knows all commands, great temperament. def sheds alot, comes with doggie vacuum. please give her a good home. im a single person who doesnt know where they will live in 2 months and its a source of stress having a big dog now. she used to be in a big home with a yard and other people but now its just us. she is 10, but def doesnt look it. huskies live to 18-20 so shes middle aged. i will pay you back the adoption fee if it charges you one.
