Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Arrooo Aarooo Rrooo! That’s the sound that I make, as I don’t bark very often. My name is Aquarius Cato and I am sweet little Basenji mix. I was listed as an Akita mix when I was smaller by the shelter, but foster mom is pretty convinced I'm a Besenji mix! I am almost 6 months old and a little bit shy, a little bit outgoing and a whole lot of spunk. My full grown weight should be around 30-35 lbs. If you haven’t heard of a Basenji before, then I suggest you head to Google because we are one of the most unique breeds, and in fact, have the closest DNA to a wolf of all domestic dogs. Of course there is a chance I’m not a basenji or an Akita, a dna test is probably the best way to tell.   This is why my foster mom thinks this. Basenji’s are often called cats, they are high energy, can climb (not kidding) and make very unique sounds. Because I’m a mix I do bark on occasion but mostly you’ll find that I howl when I want something, when I need something, and when I wanna tell you something. Because of my vocal voice, apartment living is NOT for me. Oh and if I hear sirens, expect to hear me sing a beautiful song to them.   My foster mom says that I have excelled in potty training and she fully believes that in my forever home, I will also excel if you keep my day structured and continue crate training. Which I am already crate trained. I love to take naps in my crate, I sleep at night in my crate and I often take my bone in the crate if the doors is open and I’m already done playing.   I love to snuggle when I’m done playing and love toys and can chew bones for hours. I’ve only been on a few walks so far and my foster mom said I did pretty awesome for a puppy. I was a little scared, but I loved all the smells and I could see myself doing this multiple times every day. I’ve also had a pup cup and loved that and hope that I can find a forever family that will take me to get them when I’m a really good girl.   I currently live with two cats and get along well with them, I also have three doggy foster siblings and have met a handful of other dogs. Basenjis aren’t known to be the best socializers however I have done pretty well and once I get over howling at a new dog, I enjoy trying to play with them   Four words that describe me are intelligent, independent, vocal and energetic.   If you were looking for an active pup, who will be your best buddy. I’m your girl so please apply at https://bit.ly/RRAdoptionApplication Apply to meet me at https://bit.ly/RRAdoptionApplication Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 29, 2025, 11:39 am

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Hello, hello!  My name is Inari and I am still available for adoption.  I have been with my foster family for almost a year and a half now, and although I love them and they love me, they are not able to keep me and we are both hoping I can find my forever home soon.     I am a young guy, about 2 years old and around 55 lbs.  Yes, I am a husky mix, but I don't do most of the naughty husky things that the others do, like fence jumping, digging, or running away.    I do enjoy listening to my own voice and sometimes like to sing the song of my husky peeps at times, though, so I wouldn't be a great apartment dwelling dog.     I have a genetic deformity in my back legs that makes it so I can’t be too active for too long. But i do love Short walks, hikes, swimming and mental stimulation games.    My foster mom is a dog trainer and has spent alot of time working on my anxiety, socialization with other dogs, house and leash manners, and obedience skills. Not to toot my own horn too much, but I’m pretty awesome now. I know many great commands and have really learned how to relax and not be so anxious. I am such a smart boy that is very excited to continue learning with you.     I am fully house trained and great in my crate most of the time. I have pretty good house manners and love to hang out with my people and chew on a bone. I Love to meet new people, including kids.  I do fine with cats, but can be picky about my dog friends. I like to be the only handsome boy in the house so I would prefer to live with a chill female dog.    If you think Inari could be the arctic adonis you've been looking for, apply to meet him today at https://bit.ly/RRAdoptionApplication Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.February 5, 2025, 6:53 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Are you looking for a mature, distinguished gentleman?  If so then I’m your guy.  Hi there, my name is Crossbone but my friends call me Bones! Have you ever seen such a handsome face?  Im a 9 1/2 year old Husky and I am everything you’d expect of a  lovable mature companion.  Can you tell that snow is my happy place?  I absolutely love people and my favorite thing in the world is my run and walk time.    Being a Husky I’d really do best in a home that can provide me the exercise and stimulation my breed requires.  Don’t let my age fool you, I can run with the best of them.  Afterwards I’d love some snuggle time, and don’t be surprised when I vocalize all my likes and dislikes in true Husky fashion!  I’m potty trained, and while the crate isn’t my favorite place I will do OK in one.  I’ve lived a long life successfully with many dogs but I do have a tendency to be protective of my food or treats so I’d prefer to live with either larger dogs who respect boundaries or no dogs.  My foster mom can fill you in on the details.  She also thinks that no other small animals (to include small dogs and cats) or small kids would be best.  If a handsome man like me is a good fit for your home, head on over to https://bit.ly/RRAdoptionApplication and ask for Crossbone!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 5, 2024, 4:51 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Denalii: The Blue-Eyed Husky Mix Denalii is a dashing husky mix with mesmerizing blue eyes that could charm the fur off a cat. He weighs a solid 20 pounds now, but don't get too comfy — he's set to become a large, furry bundle of energy. At just 4 months old, Denalii's curiosity knows no bounds, and his heart is as loving as it gets. Personality and Playfulness This energetic pup is like an Olympic athlete in training who needs a stash of chew toys to stay entertained. Denalii loves outdoor escapades and craves the company of his humans. Plus, he absolutely needs regular exercise and a spacious yard to unleash his inner adventurer. Training and Behavior Denalii is about 90% potty trained — close, but no biscuit! He navigates the doggie door like a pro and plays well with other dogs. He's got a passion for squirrel chasing but hasn't had the honor of meeting a cat yet. Fingers crossed! Family and Socialization Currently, Denalii is in what's known as the "chew everything in sight" phase, which can be quite the challenge for families with small kids. However, with some training, he's bound to become a phenomenal family dog. Denalii is on the lookout for a loving home where he can grow, learn, and spread his contagious joy. If you're ready for lots of fun and a loyal buddy, apply through Rescue rovers. Denalii can't wait to be your new best friend!
