Story
I have had Leo since he was 2 months old. I got him for mother's day one year and he was bought from a man that breeds huskies. Leo is very playful and active but also with about 20 mins of being active he just hangs out and lays around the house. He loves the snow and running around after tennis balls. He is great with kids. He sleeps in a crate and likes to go in his crate when he is tired or socializing. Leo doesn't do the annoying crazy husky cry... He does howl or has a little bark when he needs to go outside to do his business. Other than that, he is pretty quiet. He will let u know when he wants a treat and guide you to where they are hahaha

Story
I got Ruger from the humane society 10/18/24. They said he was microchipped and a stray and 8. But he seems 5 or 6. He knows how to sit lay down shake go away go to bed and stay. He's getting better using a lead leash and is pulling less but he still pulls. He is 85 pounds and strong. He is a great guard dog! Unfortunately he has tried to bite a few friends who he does not know when they are petting him. I would not have him around kids. He got used to my little dog who is 11 lb. He's a very good dog he's just a little bit too much for me and I don't want him biting anyone. He hasn't tried to bite me in about 5 weeks. But even when I would pet him too long or pet him if he was laying down sleeping He would growl at me and let me know he does not want to be pet. But now he is very affectionate and loves kisses and hugs from me. I am able to get on the floor with him and play with him. I'm working with a trainer to get him to not but people that are petting him for more than 2 minutes.

Story
Archie is good with most other dogs, and is getting better everyday! He loves engaging and learning new things, and has earned his AKC Trick Dog Novice certification! He is a great hiking and running partner as well. Archie is a pure puppy. He needs continued guidance in settling when he is over excited. He can be nervous when meeting new people, but does well with structure. CRCCS will be happy to show you how Archie prefers to be introduced and settled! Archie needs someone with a very active lifestyle, that can also continue his structure both in public, and in the home. He would enjoy having another playful companion to help burn some of that extra energy!

Story
Ava may take a little time to get comfortable with new people, but once she does, she’s sweet, sensitive, loving, and so full of personality. Ava will need a slow and proper intro to other dogs to be successful, CRCCS will be happy to show you how she prefers to be introduced to new dogs! She is stunning to watch in the yard, such a graceful runner with those long legs. Ava is looking for a quiet home with space to run and a calm yet active owner. She comes with an entire fan club and support crew (that’s us). Her adoption process includes training, demos, free services and more.

Barret is a sweet boy with a playful spirit and a love for people. He is an intelligent guy who is always eager to learn and explore the world around him. This gentle giant is very affectionate and loves nothing more than to snuggle up with his favorite humans. He is very loyal to his family and will always be there to provide comfort and companionship. Barret is very attentive, and always eager to please those around him. He needs to be the only dog in the home where he can be the center of attention and receive all the love and care he deserves. Plus he makes a great co-pilot because he loves going on car rides, he is excellent at sitting in one spot and enjoying the fresh air! This handsome boy is more than ready to be the newest addition to your family!
