Story
Milo is a sweet boy with lots of energy. He was born August 30, 2023. He is kennel trained and potty trained. Unfortunately I bought him from some people who said he had got along with cats. That is not true and I have a cat so this situation won’t work long term. He currently lives with a Bassett hound and a 6 year old.

Story
Meet Ninja – Your Loyal, Gentle, and Unique American Akita Companion Ninja is a gorgeous five-year-old American Akita who’s seeking her forever family. She’s been in our care due to my daughter’s health situation, and now we’re looking to find her a stable, loving home. Here’s why Ninja would make a fantastic addition to the right family: Loyal and Quiet: Ninja’s loyalty knows no bounds. She doesn’t bark or whine and has a calm, respectful presence. However, if you talk to her, she’ll “talk” back in her own way—she has a personality you’ll love getting to know! Perfectly Well-Mannered: Ninja is wonderful with kids and friendly with other dogs her size once introduced. She’s protective without being aggressive, adding a layer of warmth and security to her family. Loves the Simple Joys: While she enjoys being active, Ninja is happiest on a nice walk where she can take in the sights and smells. She especially loves sniffing flowers and enjoying nature. Treat Enthusiast: Give her a treat

These pups are in Denver, Colorado too!

Story
Say hello to Cumin, a sweet husky mix with a courageous heart and calm demeanor. At three years young, this former sled dog has embraced a life of adventure but is ready to find a comfy forever home with a new human best friend. Though living indoors is a little confusing to him, Cumin is showing a lot of courage and willingness to learn the ropes of cozy living among loving humans. This gentle giant is incredibly kind and sweet with all humans and dogs. He loves an outdoor adventure but is always down to just chill and hang out, too. Navigating his new world with a thoughtful pace, Cumin seeks a patient and loving human to show him the joys of pet life. A spacious, fenced yard would be a dream come true for this guy. Cumin's genial nature makes him a friend to all humans and canine companions alike, though he holds a special fondness for fellow large dogs, finding small ones perplexing for now. Trust may not come immediately for Cumin, but once earned, he’ll be your loyal lifelong companion. His sled-pulling days have left him with incredible strength, so Cumin is searching for an athletic companion who’s dedicated to keeping him under control while he learns leash manners. Cumin’s favorite treat is a slice of cheese, which will help fast-track your way into his heart and encourage his loving personality to really blossom! For the right home, Cumin will be more than just a pet; he’ll be a lifelong companion. If you're a patient soul looking for a gentle, attentive partner, Cumin promises to be your furever friend through every season of life. ##1974536##

Story
**Needs either another dog in the home or someone who works from home or is not gone often if you do not have other pets.** Baxter is an absolutely gorgeous 3 year old Malamute/Siberian Husky mix. He is always smiling and loves being around or a part of whatever you are doing. Walks are a big treat for him; he gets really excited after you put his harness on and runs to sit by the front door, ready to go. Baxter was a big hit at doggy daycare and fast to make new friends! He does great on leash and is responsive to a "leave it" or "no" command when he sees a bunny or other critter he wants to say hi to. He has been most recently been homed with 2 cats and after a few curious encounters, everyone got along great with no issues. He is house trained/potty trained and knows basic commands, and has the most gentle bite when taking treats. He does love a good sock or two, so having some stuffies and chew toys for him to play with helps! He is not your average husky mix, he is very relaxed and not chatty at all. He has more of a Malamute temperament whih makes him a rare husky find! He is gentle, submissive, and just wants to be included. He gets the occasional zoomies and bursts of energy, and he loves to get his wiggles out with playing tug in the yard or daily walks in the neighborhood and park. He is healthy and up-to-date on all vaccinations, and he would be a wonderful adventure buddy for hikes, runs, and patio hangs! He loves to cuddle, share the couch for tv time, and be loved on. He's great with grooming and getting bathed. He LOVES the water hose, which is a good way to create exercise and get a good laugh yourself. (think pogo stick jumping to grab water spraying) Baxter is a friendly and outgoing dog with lots of playful energy. He would benefit from a family that can continue working on basic obedience and recall training. Baxter thrives with an active/outdoorsy lifestyle that also offers a calm home environment where he can spend lots of time with his humans and feel relaxed. He is best suited for a child-free home or one without small children, preferably with another dog to help continue showing him the ropes.  We got Baxter's DNA test and he is: 56% Siberian Husky, 18% Alaskan Malamute, 12% American Staffordshire terrier, 7% Argentine Pila, 7% Shiloh Shepherd ##2079811##
