Story
Meet Aristotle! This very special approximately 3-year-old boy is looking for a special home to call his own! He was found as a stray and is very timid with people. He has opened up A LOT to his foster family and loves to give kisses and cuddles, but new people and environments are still a struggle for him, and he will require an owner to have patience with him. He can and will go over a 6-foot fence, so he will need to be on a leash when outside. He is very much a husky in so many ways - independent, silly, and stubborn :) He is very dog friendly, and we will require him to go to a home with a confident dog that he can learn from. He gets excited to see cats, must mostly ignores them after the initial excitement wears off. We are working on house and crate training, and he is very used to wearing a male wrap when in the house while learning. Aristotle's adoption fee is $100 and he will come fully vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped. He is heartworm negative and is on monthly heartworm and flea prevention. His adoption fee also includes a one-time training consultation with our training partner, It's a Breeze Dog Training, to help integrate him into your home! Interested in meeting Aristotle? Please submit an adoption application through our website - www.helpingpawsonline.com/adoption-application

Story
Meet Balto! This older gentleman was found as a stray and is now looking for the perfect home to call his own! He is approximately 10 years old and is your typical husky in that he LOVES the outdoors. His foster mom has a hard time getting him inside more days! When inside, he loves to be cuddle up in a blanket - preferably with his people. He does well with the other dogs in his foster home, but mostly just ignores them as well as the cats. He came to us with some issues with his back leg, but regular exercise and some pain meds help keep him mobile and happy. Balto's adoption fee is sponsored (with an approved application) and he will come fully vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped. He is heartworm negative and is on monthly heartworm and flea prevention. Balto will also come with a one time training session with our training partner - It's a Breeze Dog Training - to help you integrate him into your home! Interested in meeting Balto?

Story
Meet Panda! This sweet short-rider is a 2 year old pit bull mix looking for a warm lap and a fun yard to play in! She loves to run and play, but when it's time to settle down, she will find a lap and snooze the afternoon away. She does like to play with other dogs and so far as done well with the male foster dog she's been introduced to, but she does have a pretty forward personality with other dogs so she would need a friend who can tolerate her being pushy and correcting her when appropriate. Her previous home says she is good with cats, however she seems a little too interested for comfort in the foster cats, so we are still trying to figure out if she can placed with cats or not. She has shown us no reason she wouldn't do well with kids as she seems to love all people! She also is crate trained and appears to be house trained. Panda's adoption fee is $100 and she will come fully vaccinated, spayed, and microchipped. She is heartworm negative and is currently on monthly heartworm and flea prevention. Her adoption fee also includes a one-time training consultation with our training partner, It's a Breeze Dog Training, to help integrate her into your home! If you are interested in meeting sweet Panda, please complete an adoption application through our website - www.helpingpawsonline.com/adoption-application
