Story
Meet Shebah; A Loving Siberian Husky in Need of a New Home It breaks my heart to write this, but due to my newborns allergies, I need to find a loving home for my beautiful white Siberian Husky, Shebah. Shebah is an amazing companion, affectionate, and great with children and other dogs. She is house-trained, well-mannered, and knows tons of commands (though in true Husky fashion, she can be a little stubborn at times!). Shebah is a chill dog who loves lounging around the house. While she enjoys walks and running, she doesn't require a ton of exercise to be happy. She s independent but also loves affection from her humans. However, she does not get along with cats or small animals like ferrets, so a home without them would be best. If you're looking for a loyal, loving, and easygoing companion, Shebah would be a wonderful addition to your family. I want to make sure she goes to a caring home where she'll be loved as much as I love her. If you're interested please reach out

Roswell is all wiggles! He loves when people come to see him. He walks great on a leash, sits for treats, and loves to be petted! Roswell enjoys long walks, he is housetrained, enjoys meeting new people, affectionate, and listens well! He gives so many kisses and is so excited to be around people who love him. He still has puppy energy and it is the cutest thing. Roswell is truly an amazing dog and would make a great family pet.

Story
Volunteer notes on Nona:Do you need a daily dose of sunshine to warm your heart? Beat the heat and adopt Nona instead! This 2-year-old ebony princess is sweet, trusting and loving to her very core. When we are together her main goal is to get as close as possible and solicit my affection. Her positive energy is contagious, like a rush of endorphins that rejuvenate and revitalize my spirit. All is ok in my world once Nona offers her kisses. I have no doubt this mama gave her multiple litters of pups her absolute best. I could sit and revel in Nona’s company forever, but it wouldn’t be fair of me not to share her with the world.

Story
This sweet face with the big brown eyes belongs to Waffles, a roughly 6 year old boy who somehow found himself lost. He showed up at a nice person`s house who told us he was very friendly, so she tried to keep him. Waffles did fine with her dog, the cows, and the horses, but her dog decided he didn`t want Waffles to move in. Waffles clearly had an owner as he also seems to know the `sit` and `stay` commands. Wouldn`t you like to have this sweet boy`s handsome face to look at every day?A volunteer told us, `Waffles is ready to enjoy his golden years in a loving home. He is friendly, outgoing, and easy to interact with. He is treat motivated and will sit for treats. He is also good on leash, making him an ideal companion for walks.`Foster notes:Waffles is very independent and sweet. He prefers to be outside. He likes to go on hikes with me and my 2 dogs. He gets along with my dogs and cats, but prefers to be alone I think. He has gotten along with all the people he has met. All adults, both male and female. He has gotten along with the 3 other dogs he’s met, all male, small and large.He is housetrained and has had no accidents in the house. He was in crate for first night and did well. We let him stay out after that. He’s not at all destructive, not a chewer. I don’t leave him out alone with my 2 dogs and 3 cats just to be safe. He resource guards, but only with the other animals. He has nipped at my cat, but was corrected right away and hasn’t done it since. He’s a very fast learner and takes correction well. He really is a nice dog! So smart and so trainable.
