Story
This is the third husky I’ve had, wonderful dog and amazing breed. He is a purebred dog from a line that has been bred since the 1950’s so he’s 100% husky. The issuei am having is my role has changed for work, and I am now required to travel 90% of the time. He’s not getting the attention, work, or love he needs and I don’t want to continue to have to board him, as he has anxiety when it’s too long. He loves people, dogs, kids, and just about everything except maybe small outdoor creatures. He’s all up to date on shots, heartworm, flea and tick prevention. When I’m able he gets 5 good walks a day, and tug and play time at home. He has attended some daycare to socialize and also socializes on walks. He’d be very good as himself or part of a pack.

Story
Jameson is a rescue dog who we adopted through Hearts & Bones in NYC (https://heartsandbonesrescue.org/). He is a loyal, loving, snuggly dog who we have made the difficult decision to rehome due to Jameson’s fear of our toddler. Jameson would thrive in a calm, child-free home in the suburbs with a new owner who can be patient and gentle with Jameson's anxieties (of loud noises, strangers, and sometimes other dogs). Beyond that, Jameson doesn’t require much, just someone who will love him, throw toys for him to chase, and give him scratches. If you do that, he will give you more love than you can imagine. Jameson’s new owner would ideally have a fenced-in yard because while Jameson does not enjoy walks on a leash, he loves exploring and running around in a fenced-in backyard.

Story
Maxey was rescued about 2 years ago from a rescue and he is now 4 years old. Our work schedules are now more hours and more demanding and we can no longer properly take care of him like he deserves. He is very high energy and definitely needs a tall fenced in back yard or area for him to run and tire himself out. He is quite the opposite inside the house other than the occasional zoomies he is a couch potato and loves to be in your personal space! He takes naps like a retired person. Maxey loves his soft chew toys, benebones, and Bubbles! Would love to get him to a home with adults or older kids because he is not great around younger kids or other pets. Maxey does pull on walks when he sees a squirrel and shows aggression towards other dogs while out (but only while on a leash for some reason) he did great at pet boarding when he had to go. He is the perfect companion and loves people furniture more than dog beds so hopefully you have plenty of couch space.
