Story
Nova is a 5 y/o blue heeler. She is house broken and usually doesn’t mind her crate but she has her moments. Doesnt like bath time, but will tolerate it. She is not socialized, but once you establish dominance, she immediately lets her guard down. Barks EXCESSIVELY. Doesn’t howl, but whines. Leash trained. Understands commands “sit” “come” “stop” “eat”. Sheds tremendously. Needs a home with a big yard/a lot of land so she can run around and be happy. Not good for a family with small children and/or other pets unless you can properly train her. Very food motivated. Loves to be rubbed and kissed. Has allergies, but otherwise very very healthy.

Story
Reason for Rehoming: Looking for a Permanent home. Axl is a retriever mix who is approximately 9 months old. Very smart and loving. Axl still loves to gnaw on bones and play, especially with rough and tumble boys. He hardly ever barks unless he needs to communicate, or for alerting owners, even at night. He cries very little and understands commands. He is potty trained and sometimes will let you know when he needs to go. He will also sit on command and is very quiet. However, Axl is not formally trained or leash or crate trained. He is walkable and is sociable with other dogs. He has a tender, teachable heart who desires to please and be loved. Axl has experienced a lot of emotional trauma and abandonment in his young life. At least 2 owners before they abandoned him and our busy family can't provide the play and attention this precious pup deserves. Axl would be a wonderful addition to a caring, loving, and patient family who knows how to train a young dog. Are you that family?

Story
Meet Sky! We found her and her husband as strays near our home, where they won our hearts with their immediate trust and affection. Despite our best efforts, no one claimed them, and now we've been approved by the humane society to re-home them. Now, we're seeking a loving home for one of both of these beautiful pair- a playful, black-and-white male with captivating blue eyes and an all-white female with one blue and one brown eye who craves cuddles. Both are very sweet, affectionate, and well-trained. They excel at fetch, respond to commands, are house-trained, and adore both other animals and children. Rabies shot are upt to date and they have been de-wormed. Regrettably, we can't keep them due to our chickens (Huskies and chickens don't do well together), but as a family, we're dedicated to finding them the perfect forever home.
