Story
Alaric is the perfect cross between a husky and German Shepard, both looks and personality wise! Still learning but channels into his Shepard side and appears to pick up routine quickly. His frolicky behavior when seeing other dogs shows off his husky side. This balanced mix requires less upkeep with grooming than the full breed husky. Alaric would make a great wing man as this dog is an eye catcher! And with a little training under his belt, he would really impress people while out on walks.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Social at the kennel front with ears back, soft body and low tail wag. Bit of an eager lunger on leash, but suspect can settle to a moderate pace once not at the shelter. Tolerant and engaged for handling, but easily distracted. Also somewhat anxious, seemed to be seeking an an exit quite a bit- but not antisocial. Just wanting to `go home`. Showed no interest in toys at this time, but eager to gauge the dogs within sight. Avoided the gaze and turned away from a bold barking dog on a fence line. Did some indirect but civil inquires with an injured GSD slightly younger male being taken on a pottie break. She eventually gave him a play bow. She was formally introduced to a senior medium sized male dog where they gave each other some respectful greets. She clearly outranked him but there was no contention. Mildly interested in treats and ate the higher value ones, but not food obsessed at this time anyways. She was more interested in interaction with people, but perhaps as a tool for exit.Needs a sympathetic leadership home with rules dedicated to training and exercise who will allow her time to acclimate and adjust to her new home.

Story
****FOSTER URGENTLY NEEDED****My name is Prince, and I am unfortunately growing up in the shelter. I have spent 40% of my entire life here. I`m like any other puppy- lovable and full of life. I love toys and I take to training well with treats and patience. I will grow up to be a big boy, but I hope that happens in a loving home. I`m shy with new people. Most visitors make me scared so I hide in the back of my kennel. If you give me time to trust you, I will eventually be all over you with big, fluffy dog hugs and kisses! My eyes are both half blue and half brown so don`t get scared of them... I`m honestly more scared of everyone else. Please don`t let me grow up in a shelter, maybe think about fostering me for a little while.

Story
I am a gentle giant and also a big scaredy cat!  I was humanely trapped after months or years (no one knows) surviving on my own sneaking into a wilderness camp finding scraps and running from people.  Once caught I was placed in multiple homes (by the shelter), lost by all of them and then returned.  No one understood my need to feel safe first and fear of people of any kind.  My last placement led me here when no one could catch me.  After my third capture I  got what I learned TO LOVE.  I now welcome treats, affection, human interaction and love my dog friends.   I thrive with an outgoing dog.  When I attend events or pack walks I immediately make my fur friends my pack and need them close.  I transiftion well from one dog friend to another but will need a Solid FOREVER Soulmate owner.  It's taken me a long time to gain trust, find my love for people and affection so this change for me needs to be once.  When I know you're safe you are MY solid and I will spend all my time wanting to be with you. I LOVE walking on a leash.  Despite my enormitiy I am a mouse on the line (unless something scares me).  I am ready to retire and become someone's forever.  It's important that my new home be prepared to be patient, let me get to know them, love me until I do and keep me safe with no new changes.  It's a big ask but certainly someone out there has a dog needing a friend and a permanent plan that does not involve moves or a need to change once I move in.  Some things to know about me-noise sensitive (loud noises, squeak toys)-has no idea how large he is and wants to curl in your lap-doesn’t like his feet touched and will avoid it at all cost-loves to share his toys and crate space with his friends-watches other dogs in his run to see how brave he needs to be with new people-food motivated-not overly destructive with his toys (or if he is, he blames it on the other dogs )-walks really well on leash-Prefers to be a “homebody”.   Flight Risk: do not leave unattended in a yard, crate training is a must when you are gone, tight grip on the leash is a must on adventures.

Story
Hi! My name is Reina and I`m just as cute as any other puppy that cost hundreds of dollars! I love playing with toys and learning new things. I want to be with a family and learn how to be a family dog. I have sadly spent more than 60% of my life in the shelter. The shelter staff try to do what they can but I desperately need a home. I`m learning SIT and catching on fast. I`m hoping to learn SHAKE this week. Learning how to walk on a leash is an ongoing thing but I`m getting better and better each day.
