4 year old Siberian Husky, originally rescued in Kansas and Iowa. Adopted by our son's girlfriend, and spent 1 1/2 years with them. They have since gone separate ways and we now have the dog and looking for a good home. We have 2 other rescued dogs and they have gotten a long wonderfully over the month he has been with them. He is sweet and loves attention. Enjoys his walks and is good on lead. He is strong and getting better with squirrels and rabbits. Is intelligent and doing better with commands. Is house broke and has not had accidents in the past 2 years that he has been known to us. He has gone to dog parks and has not gotten into any fights and gets along with other dogs. Looking for a loving home where he can get walks and exercise. Loves being part of the family. He is a wonderful companion.

Story
December 22nd 2019 was her birthday. She is now nearing 4 years old. We picked her for her sassiness & slender beautiful face & color. She's crate trained & very smart! She sits, lays, mostly-stays, gives "paw" on-command, & will jump to catch treats! She is potty trained, & is reasonable on a leash, though she does pull still. She's travelled by car, though wanders a good bit. We usually have her crate setup in the back for long trips, as her crate is her 'safe space.' She is a playful, energetic, sorta vocal, & very lovey dog for her owner(s). Onto her restrictions. We feel she would fit much, much better into a home that does not have kids or other animals; whose owner(s) only take her out under limited circumstances (ideally have enclosed backyard). Bella is not necessarily aggressive, she is nervous under circumstances she deems uncomfortable and can lash out, up-to a quick bite. It saddens us, but w/ a new baby and kids, no-go. More info on request, character limitation is short.

Story
Hi new family! My name is Porter. I live in Florida & my family adopted me as a puppy 5 years ago. I’m about 30lbs now. I loveee love love being snuggled & giving all of the kisses. I’m currently looking for a new family to live with because mine has 2 little kids and I’m not the biggest fan of children. They are too loud and crazy and am super nervous around little kids who don’t know how to respect me and my personal space. I prefer teenagers & adults who know not to get in my face. My favorite thing to do is lay in the sun, run around outside in the backyard, and to snuggle with my humans, preferably on the couch! I love my crate & all of my dog beds. I have a doggie sister so I do like other dogs, but probably not the best dog to bring to dog parks because I get really really excited at first. I like to chase chickens & bunnies but I’ve never caught anything. I know sit, stay, shake, & am crate & potty trained.
