Husky

Wheaton, IL
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats,
Story
At just 1 year old, Jaime is a husky with personality to spare! This floofy gentleman takes his time warming up (ironic for a snow dog, right?) but once he does—prepare for cuddle avalanches!Jaime`s still figuring out this whole `leash` situation. Sometimes he channels his inner statue, other times his inner Usain Bolt. Hey, we all have our quirks!He`s totally cool with furry roommates and will do ANYTHING for treats. Seriously, wave a snack and watch this `shy guy` transform into an enthusiastic dance machine.Jaime needs a patient family committed to positive reinforcement training. He`s got potential bursting at the seams—he just needs someone to show him the ropes (or leashes, as it were).Are you ready to help this sweet husky discover his inner confidence and best life?Jaime weighs 43lbs

Story
Scout is a super handsome, energetic 18 month old Australian Sheppard mix from a rescue, smart as a whip and can figure out any puzzle. He does great with long walks and really enjoys the outdoors. Scout will be successful with a large fenced yard or ranch, no children and possibly a second dog to keep his mind ever active. Scout's new owner must be experienced as he has an inclination to show reactivity and resource guarding his owner. He has anxiety that is at the root of this behavior and takes medication to help with this. His breed is mostly Australian Sheppard, with DNA also showing American Pit Bull and Chow Chow and will be an excellent herding dog. He has anxiety that is at the root of this behavior and takes medication to help with this.

This 10-month-old pit mix is like that adorably awkward friend who needs a little encouragement to join the party, but once he`s in, he`s ALL in!

He`ll need someone willing to be his personal cheerleader, helping him navigate new experiences with gentle support and lots of treats.Are you ready to be the superhero in this adorable pup`s origin story?
