XANADU #382997 listed as German Shepherd, female 10 mths, 60 lbs
 
Meet Xanadu, a 10-month-old Australian Cattle Dog who is essentially a lightning bolt wrapped in blue fur! ⚡ At just under a year old, she is a high-octane athlete with a heart of gold and a serious obsession with anything round and fuzzy. If you have a tennis ball in your hand, you are officially the most important person in her universe! 🎾 She doesn't just play fetch; she lives for the "job" of retrieving, and her focus is nothing short of legendary. When she isn't mid-sprint, she is a social butterfly who is genuinely thrilled to meet new people, greeting every stranger like a long-lost best friend. 🌟 Being a young Cattle Dog, Xanadu is a "work hard, play hard" kind of girl who hasn't quite mastered the art of the leisurely stroll yet. Currently, she views a leash as a harness for a sled-she pulls hard with the determination of someone who has places to be and balls to find! πŸƒ‍♀️ She will need an active adopter who is ready to work on her leash manners and provide the mental and physical exercise this brilliant breed craves. If you're looking for a smart, spunky, and intensely loyal partner for hiking, training, and endless games of fetch, Xanadu is ready to bring some "magic" to your world! 🎑✨

GUS GUS #382112 Breed: Siberian Husky, male 2 yrs 59 lbs
 
 Meet Gus Gus, a 2-year-old Husky mix who is looking for a patient soul to help him find his brave. 🐾 Unlike the typical high-energy, vocal Husky, Gus Gus is a quiet observer who finds the big, loud world a little bit overwhelming right now. ☁️ He is a "sensitive soul" in every sense of the word, preferring soft whispers and slow movements over fast-paced adventures. While he might start a meeting by tucking his tail or hiding behind a friendly leg, his gentle eyes tell you exactly how much he wants to be loved-he just needs to know he's safe first. 🏠 Gus Gus is the ultimate "slow-burn" companion who truly blossoms once he knows the routine of a calm, quiet home. ✨

  He finds a lot of confidence in the company of other dogs, so a confident furry sibling to show him the ropes would be a huge plus for his progress! πŸ• Once he realizes you're his person, he trades his shyness for sweet "lean-ins" and soft tail wags that make the wait entirely worth it. 🦴 If you have a quiet corner, a pocket full of treats, and a heart big enough for a project dog, Gus Gus is ready to show you just how loyal a rescued heart can be. 🧑

MOUSE #383413 Breed: Siberian Husky 3 months 41 lbs?? (NOTE: IF the Age and Weight are correct....then Mouse will be a very big adult dog)
 

 
 Meet Mouse, a 3-month-old Siberian Husky who is proof that big personalities can come in small, fluffy packages! ❄️ Don't let the name fool you-this little guy is anything but quiet. True to his Husky roots, Mouse is a pint-sized adventurer with a "talkative" spirit and enough energy to power a small city. Whether he's practicing his tiny howls or pouncing on a rogue leaf in the yard, he approaches every moment with the pure, unbridled joy that only a puppy can provide. 🐾 Since he is just a baby, Mouse is a blank slate full of "normal puppy" shenanigans. This means he's currently a professional at napping hard, playing harder, and investigating the world with his mouth! 🦴 He is in the prime stage for learning, soaking up training like a sponge (especially if treats are involved). He'll need a family ready to guide him through the "land shark" teething phase, house training, and the basics of being a polite adult dog. If you have the patience for some puppy mischief and the stamina for a future hiking partner, Mouse is ready to bring a whole lot of "mush" and music to your home! πŸ”️✨

Meet Chance, a sensitive and loyal soul who is looking for a patient partner to help him shine! While he can be a bit nervous when meeting new people, Chance is a "fast friend" who transforms into a wiggly, affectionate companion once he knows he's safe. In fact, once he warms up, he's known to flop over for belly rubs and lean in close for all the pets you're willing to give. Because Chance finds the big world a little intimidating, he is looking for an adult-only home (kids 16+) where his family can help him navigate new introductions at his own pace. He's a smart boy who already knows how to sit for treats and is highly motivated to learn and please his person. If you're looking for a devoted sidekick who will stick by your side and offer endless play bows once the ice is broken, Chance might be the perfect match for you.
