Story

***Tarzan is one of the 12 Dogs of Christmas, so his adoption fee is fully sponsored until 12/31/24!Turn on `You`ll Be in My Heart` by Phil Collins while you read about Tarzan! The king of the shelter is a 4-year-old hound mix who has an upbeat attitude and energy that will keep you active and entertained! He loves to run and play with people and the other big dogs at the shelter. He`s an endlessly sweet boy who will stare up at you in admiration if you`re willing to scratch his ears. Tarzan is a smart boy who`s learned `sit,` `down,` and `up for hugs`! While Tarzan loves other dogs and his people, he can feel a little insecure and unsafe when they approach his food, so he`s looking for a family willing to feed him in a separate space and provide him with the feeling of security he needs! Tarzan is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on his vaccines. You can visit him at the shelter Tuesdays through Sundays from 8:30 to 5:00 PM!

He`s a five-year-old, 55.9-pound Blue Heeler and Border Collie mix who`s shy and sweet.

He loves all toys, likes to sneak onto the furniture, and is fully potty trained! Tucker would do best in a home without young children but would be great with older kiddos!Tucker is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on his vaccines.

Story

This girl is a stunner, and she knows it! Charlie is a sweet and friendly, 2-year-old, 68.6-pound Siberian Husky mix who came to the shelter from the reservation up north. She has the classic husky personality that we all know and love. She`s extremely playful, excited, and vocal! She loves people and has even made friends with a few dogs from a distance. She hasn`t been fully tested around other dogs, so please bring your pups in for a meet and greet to ensure they get along well. Charlie is pretty good at going potty outside but has had a couple of accidents at the shelter. We think in a home environment, she`ll do great!Charlie is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on her vaccines. You can visit this pretty girl at the shelter from 8:30 to 5:00 PM on Tuesdays through Sundays!
