  • I will need to meet any canine companions prior to getting adopted.
  • My energy and size can be a lot for little kids, but I would do great with older, dog-savvy children.

Candy Animal ID: 326273, listed as "American Husky" 
female, 7 mths 51 lb and growing
Candy is a delightful 7-month-old Husky Shepherd mix, bursting with energy and charm. She's friendly with cats, other dogs, and people of all ages, making her the perfect companion for any household. Candy thrives on playtime and enjoys socializing with everyone-if she's not by your side, you can find her wrestling with her furry friends in the yard. She's particularly fond of fetch, showing an enthusiasm for the game that's unlike any Husky you've met! Food motivated and eager to please, Candy has already mastered a few commands. She willingly goes into her crate when asked, although she does appreciate a tasty treat as a reward! Despite being only a puppy, she has confidently mingled with bigger dogs since she was just a few weeks old. Candy has experienced many baths and will give you the classic Husky side-eye, but she's surprisingly quiet and won't serenade you with her famous howls. This lovable pup is sure to steal your heart and, in return for your love and attention, she'll shower you with affection that is truly rewarding. As a foster, I've seen how much potential Candy has; she will thrive in a home that dedicates time and love to her. If you're ready to welcome this sweet girl into your life, she promises to bring endless joy and companionship!

TACO Animal ID: 326137, listed as "American Husky" 
male, 7 mths 49 lb and growing
 

Taco is a spirited 7-month-old pup weighing around 70 lbs. He's ready to find his forever home with a family that understands the energy and commitment required for adolescent pups, especially in a high-energy breed like him. Taco loves to play with other dogs and enjoys going on long walks to burn off that youthful energy. Having a securely fenced yard is ideal for him to explore safely, but supervision is essential since he's still young and curious, often exploring with his mouth. This sweet boy is quite well-behaved and picks up new commands quickly. His food motivation makes training a breeze! Taco is nearly house-trained with just the occasional accident inside, and he knows when to "leave it." On a recent outing, his recall was impressive, and he returned promptly for treats, although he does have a high prey drive regarding birds. While he was dog neutral during the outing, caution is advised around small animals or cats due to his excitement. Taco would thrive in a home with older children, as he can be exuberant and playful. He's a bundle of joy and affection who loves to nap with his human after a good run. Taco's charming personality will steal your heart, and he's ready to be your loyal companion!
 
BEAR Animal ID: 326136, listed as "American Husky" 
male, 7 mths 71 lbs and growing

Bear is a lovable 7-month-old weighing approximately 70 lbs, eager to find a family that appreciates the work and patience involved in raising an adolescent pup. With his playful spirit, Bear is always ready for adventure! He enjoys playing with other dogs and going on long walks, making a securely fenced yard a perfect fit for him to expend some of his abundant energy. Bear is still young and inquisitive, so supervision during playtime is important. Bear has shown great promise in training, learning quickly thanks to his food motivation. He is nearly house-trained, with only occasional accidents, and is proficient in the command "leave it." During a recent outing, his recall was fantastic-he returned for treats with no issues, although he did show a strong prey drive towards birds. He was dog neutral both on and off-leash, but might be too much for small animals or cats. Bear would do well in a home with older children, as his excitement can sometimes be overwhelming-though it's all in good fun! He's a loving companion who enjoys snuggling after a day of play. With his charming personality, Bear is sure to bring joy and laughter into your home. It will be tough to say goodbye, but we know his perfect forever family is waiting just for him!

recommended no cats 

Colin is a longer-term resident, patiently waiting to find his forever family. 🏡 This sweet and sensitive pitbull mix takes a little time to warm up to new people and places, but once he does, he's a devoted friend. He's a quick learner and eager to please, making him a great candidate for positive reinforcement training. Colin thrives in a calm and predictable home with a consistent routine. As quite the active boy, he loves enrichment activities like snuffle mats and puzzle toys, so be prepared to keep his mind and body busy! He's a bit wary of new people and situations, so a patient and understanding family is key. He may do best in a household with older children or adults who can respect his boundaries and understand his energy level. Important Note: Colin needs a home with no cats or small animals. He has so much love to give, and promises to be your most loyal companion once he feels safe and secure. 💕 Colin has been in foster care and is doing AMAZING. He loves to go for walks and does not destroy anything in the house. He is crate trained, knows sit, down, stay, leave it, off, wait and slow. He has done well meeting adults, older children, and calm respectful dogs. He is easily redirected on walks. He is a such a good boy!
