Story
Meet Aurora! Aurora came to us recently and is very ready to start the next chapter of her life. Aurora is a nervous girl who may take a bit of time to adjust to her new surroundings and become trusting of her new human/s. Aurora is a sweet girl and did very well in her previous home and will likely do well in her next as long as she and her new people are set up for success in her new home. Aurora is a strong girl who likes to take her human/s for a walk so you can expect nice muscles after the first couple weeks with her! Aurora would love to meet you and learn more about if she is a good fit for your home today! If you're ready to adopt now and want to learn more about, meet, or adopt this pet, you can start the process in one of two ways: Come on in during open adoption hours Tuesday - Saturday 12:30-3:00!

Story
Shrimp is a people loving, high energy puppy who hasn't had any training experience and is SO EXCITED to meet everyone. He is scared of other dogs and will need support from his owner to build his confidence; he is full of love and still hasn't decided what he wants to be when he grows up.OTHER PETS: Shrimp is not a fan of other dogs and would be happiest living as an only pet. [Should Be Only Pet]OWNER EXPERIENCE: Shrimp is a high energy dog who will need more support than usual huskies, because he also needs to work on building his own confidence as well as his trust in humans. Someone who has owned huskies (or a similar breed) previously would be best suited to help Shrimp live his best life. [Very Experienced]KIDS: Shrimp resource guards his food - he was emaciated when he came in - and would be best suited to live in a home with only older teens or adults. [15+ (Must Meet First)]ACTIVITY LEVEL: Multiple daily walks, supervised outdoor playtime, mental enrichment, and getting Shrimp involved in activities be they as a companion on human adventures or participating as a dog-athlete in sports like fly ball, dock diving, weight pulling or agility. [Olympic Athlete]VETERINARY CARE: [Routine] LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Positive reinforcement training will help Shrimp build his confidence and his trust bond with his humans, it will also help him learn basic cues and skills, and how to participate in different activities. Shrimp is going to need a lot of support to build his confidence. Shrimp has been easy to please, but he will need a dedicated owner and positive reinforcement to flourish. [Intense]GROOMING: Shrimp will need regular brushing to ensure his coat stays clean and matt-free. Many husky owners utilize bi-yearly grooms to help with the seasonal blowing of coats that huskies experience. [Routine Brushing / Professional Grooming] November 17, 2024, 5:35 pm
