Story
Dakota is a handsome name, kind of a "rugged" kind of name, right?? I am kind of a REFINED RUGGED kind of boy! For instance, I am a busy boy, I love playing and running with my doggy friends, however, I can lay at your feet very sweetly to beg for your attention. I am kind of like a "reverse" planter as well. I mean, you plant it and i will un-plant it for you :D I won't do it often, just when I want your attention and I am outside alone. So see?? you have great control over that urge! So I am a food and toy lover too, I eat out of a slow feeder bowl because wolfing down my food is not an option! I am learning all things toys and am actually learning how to bring the ball BACK after you throw it. I am a smart and very sweet boy. I do absolutely have a prey drive so no kitties for small furry mammals around me please. I am fully potty trained and great in a crate. Now i just need you to adopt me to complete my circle of life. Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Gunther is a super senior we pulled from MACC and are so happy we did! This guy is so spry for 15 and loves to do zoomies and is great with most other dogs! High energy ones can be a little much for this senior guy, but the more chill ones he is great with. He also seems good around cats, loves a good car ride, and loves a yard to mosey around in! We did learn at his vet appointment that Gunther is Heartworm positive but, because of his age, we won't be doing the conventional treatment as it would be too tough on him. So we will be killing off those boogers with his Heartworm prevention each month. His heart and lungs do sound good though! He also may have an autoimmune disease which we would also probably not treat due to his age because he is in otherwise great shape and eats well enough though he does have bad teeth. The vet did not recommend sedating Gunther unless it was an emergency. He also has some arthritis but still is very active and is learning how to be a dog which we love to see! We also learned he is not neutered but has one testicle on the outside that is very small and the other is inside but the vet doesn't believe it is negatively affecting him. Despite his age and the fact that we think Gunther was literally just left outside his entire life, he is extremely good natured and is doing so well! He can be a little resource guarding but we are learning what those high value things are and he can be pretty good at redirecting and trading which is great! We are also working on some pain management with him but we know he doesn't like his tail end or his head messed with and can give verbal warnings, etc when that happens, but seems great with pets on the torso and really is just happy in a yard or to chill in the sunshine!November 4, 2024, 1:26 pm

Husky Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 6 yrs
Nashville, TN
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Haku means "pure" in Japanese! I was named for my pure, passionate and overwhelming love for everyone around me! I came to the rescue when my dad was stationed in Japan and heartbroken that he couldn't take me with him. I've missed him so much ever since! Everyday I do the things I did with him with other dogs so I can try and remember what it felt like to be with him! But it's just not the same. So, I'm hoping a new family can come scoop me up and show me what it feels like to be a part of a home and family again! I am good with other dogs, I love playing chase with them or tugging on chew toys. I'll need a happy and active home so that my life will be full of love and fun! I am a bit anxious and nervous around new people, and people in general! Slow introductions, a safe space I can retreat to like a crate and not forcing me into spaces with tons of people will help me be myself all the time! Haku can only be adopted in the local or TX area. Local adoption only, in San Antonio or TX area, $200.

Story
Spike is a "manly" kind of name, right?? I am a guy, so I must be "strong like bull" :) Actually I am kind of a goofball. Smart and silly, playful and happy- just grateful to be alive!! I was saved from a high high kill shelter in W Texas and have been here getting my heartworms treated and having friends and an actual life... but now my goal is to have an actual FAMILY too!! I am good with other dogs, although I am a dominant boy, so I need either to be an only dog or to have a submissive friend to hang with. I am also a husky and all that goes along with that breed applies, I am active, I need a husky knowledgeable family cause we are escape artists and shed A LOT!! I would love to get out of HOT-TEXAS and AC is my friend but cooler weather would be AMAZING!! Adopt me soon, I am ready!! Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $400 (includes transport to your area, $50 temporary fuel fee will be included)
