Story
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!

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 even has some canine pals at the shelter. She can be a little picky with her dog friends, 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 your gal if you’re looking for a fun, energetic angel!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!

Story
Rocky has us cheesin` every day! He`s a three-year-old, 53-pound Australian Cattle Dog mix who came to the shelter all the way from Texas. He`s been at the shelter since October and is being so patient and good as he waits for his family. This boy bonds hard with those who show him love. He likes to run straight up to you for scratches and pets and gives many kisses in return. Rocky is a very food-motivated boy who sits nicely when you have a treat. Before arriving at The Babinski Foundation, Rocky lived with a loving foster who stated that he was fully potty trained with a proper routine! He did so well in a home environment, showing that he was such a sweet, sensitive, loyal, and loving boy.Rocky is a heartworm-positive pup, so he`s available for foster to adopt until his treatment through The Babinski Foundation resolves. He`ll be a happy and healthy boy in no time under our care!Rocky 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!

Story
Have you ever seen a more beautiful girl? Soraya is a one-year-old, 71-pound Rottweiler mix who was unfortunately returned to the shelter to no fault of her own. The right words don`t exist to describe how unbelievably sweet and loving Soraya is. She`s always down to make a new two-legged friend and loves snuggling! This gorgeous gal will thrive in a very high-energy household with friends she can exercise and adventure with! She`s made some canine friends here at the shelter, but she can be a little picky, so we ask that you bring any resident dogs for a meet and greet before bringing this darling girl home.Soraya is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on her vaccines. You can visit her at The Babinski Foundation Animal Shelter Tuesdays through Sundays from 8:30 to 5:00 PM!
