Story
Meet Bolt, A Loyal and Energetic Husky Mix Looking for a Loving Home! Bolt is a 2 year old husky mix, and we believe he may have some German shepherd in him due to his intelligence and strong personality. He is a free spirited, outspoken, and highly energetic dog who loves to run and be outdoors. Bolt’s journey started when his mother and littermates ended up in our yard after being displaced by the Calf Canyon and Peek fires. We cared for them until we could get them safely to an animal shelter, but the day before, Bolt and his mother disappeared. Sadly, Bolt returned alone, and his mother was never found. Since then, he has been part of our family, but our older dog just can’t keep up with his playful and energetic nature. Bolt is incredibly smart, has great survival instincts, and thrives both indoors and outdoors. He also has a soft side. He loves a good belly rub and quality time with his humans.We’re looking for a loving home where Bolt can get the attention and activity he needs

Story
Hi, my name is Addison. I am a bundle of joy and was at the municipal shelter for 236 days before APA got me out. When I meet new people, I can't help but show my excitement. I am guilty of getting the zommies A LOT! APA sent me to their PAWS prison training program, and I graduated in December 2024. I struggled at first to focus, but my trainer worked well with me, and I soon learned how to follow commands. I also respond well to correction. I get along well with people and other dogs. And I am ready to find a loving furrever home!

Hi, my name is Murphy! APA got me from the ASCMV shelter and sent me to their PAWS prison training program. I am a high energy boy. I did well in my training and graduated from the program in December 2024. I am still needing more socialization with other dogs. I get along with most, but I am a rough player and can be overwhelming for some. I just need to be matched well to my next family. I can't wait to find my home!!

Hi, I am Sienna! I was at the animal shelter a long while until APA got me out. I was fearful of people but loved other dogs. APA sent me to their PAWS prison training program, and I graduated in December 2024. I am still shy with new people, but I warm up fast. And I get along well with other dogs and love to play. My trainer said I am a smart girl who will fit in great into most homes/families. I can't wait to find my furrever home!
