SO GOOD! Very sweet, stubborn personality and SMART! Knows all kinds of commands, but only when he feels like it. Big, cuddly polar bear. Genuinely unconcerned around other pups, but meet & greets are always a great idea! Good on a leash & appears to be potty-trained! updated 3/10/25

Story
Hello there, I'm Cyrus! I might be a little shy when we first meet, but give me some time and I'll show you my sweet and curious side. I love exploring new places, sniffing out interesting smells, and playing with my doggy friends. I'm a gentle soul, so I'd prefer a home with older kids who can understand my need for quiet time. Cats, however, are a different story - we just don't see eye to eye. But don't let that deter you! I'm a loyal companion, full of love to give. I promise, if you choose me, we'll create beautiful memories together. Adopt me and let's start our adventure!

Rockwell is a stunning 75-pound Akita mix who combines strength, agility, and a fun-loving personality. As an athletic dog, Rockwell thrives on activity and loves running, jumping, and playing outdoors. Whether it's a game of fetch, a challenging hike, or a brisk jog, he’s always ready to join in on the action. Despite his active nature, Rockwell also knows how to relax and enjoys quiet moments with his favorite people. With his striking looks and lively spirit, he turns heads everywhere he goes. Loyal and intelligent, Rockwell embodies the best traits of an Akita mix and is always up for an adventure. If you're looking for an energetic, affectionate companion, Rockwell might just be the perfect match! We have a trainer that is willing to work with Rockwell and his adopter! Please contact the shelter to discuss why we think Rockwell will need to attend training.

Story
Oatis is a young, happy Husky boy with a love for people and a polite way of saying "hello" to new human friends. After spending several weeks in a local shelter, he found his way to an experienced Husky foster home. Now, Oatis has three Husky foster siblings. While he was unsure at first, after slow introductions, he's doing great with his new friends! Oatis wants to have dog friends, but he is still learning how to play appropriately. Due to his interest in his foster kitty sibling, he would do best in a home without cats. Oatis is house trained and crate trained, and he does great in his crate while his foster is at work. He's a quiet guy who is just finding his place in the world. We are so excited to see his personality shine through as he becomes more comfortable and confident! If you're looking for a friendly Husky to join your family, Oatis is your guy!
