Story
Mandu (meaning "Dumpling") is an adorable 11-week-old Golden Retriever puppy. We adopted her from Petland, and we have documentation confirming that she is a purebred. She’s a bit shy in her new surroundings since she’s still so young, but once she adjusts, she’ll start to enjoy it! She loves people, although she can be a little nervous around larger dogs. We’ve been training her to go potty outside, but since she's still young, she's learning and has occasional accidents in the house (she's still learning!). Crate training has gone smoothly with her. We usually put her in the crate at bedtime; she whines a bit at first, but if you stay with her until she falls asleep, she has no issues sleeping in her crate through the night. It breaks our hearts to rehome her, but due to recent changes in our financial situation and busy schedules, we hope to find her a new owner who can continue to give her the love and care she needs to thrive.

Story
Luna is a 6 years old purebred Alaskan Malamute. She is a talkative and playful dog. She is also super friendly and loves to lay in bed with her favorite toys on lazy days and run in the backyard on hot summer days. We are a military family and we first adoptive Luna as a young puppy and we love her very much. However we have reached a point in our military career where we do not have the time to properly care for her. Due to this and various moves Luna has had difficulty with in home training. However she has received various dog training in the past. We just do not have the time to practice with her. We are looking for adopters that have the time to take care and love Luna. Luna also has a one year old brother named Lobo who we adoptive last year that will also be listed on this site. We would love to rehome them together however we understand that may not be possible. If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to ask.

Lobo is a 1 year old Alaskan Malamute. He is playful and energetic and super friendly. He will take hugs and kisses over treats and will absolutely melt your heart.
