Hello! Thanks so much for checking me out. I`m a sweet girl who takes time adjusting to new people. Although, once comfortable I am so happy to meet you! I do pull slightly on leash but I`m able to direct elsewhere if needed. I do tolerate any handling needed but after you`re done, I`ll just need a slight recovery period to myself! So, I love treats!! My handlers say I take them so gently too! I currently know sit but I would love to learn some new tricks as well. So, I met a dog here! Dogs are okay as long as they`re not too close to me. I will respectfully walk past them if needed but if they come to greet me I don`t know how to react! I will freeze and shut down until they`re gone, so I think I just need some further socialization when it comes to other dogs. Overall, I`m looking for a nice big family to treat me as their own! Someone who`s going to help exercise and train me with time and patience. Hopefully you come soon! show less

Hi there! Nice to meet you. I`m a sweet, energetic girl looking for a new home to call my last. I will give you a heads up! I am unsure of the leash and will need a couple seconds of coaxing from you. Once I am comfortable with my environments and people, I LOVE to be around everyone!! I may come off a bit rude and jump on you, but I promise it`s just because I`m so happy and excited. I`m not really into toys or playing with my hoomans! I`m unsure of all the fast movements from that playstyle so I may attempt to just avoid you. I also LOVE treats!! I will even stand on two feet while waiting for them. I do love food as you can see for my love of treats, so that also means I want to keep my food to myself. So, please be respectful and allow me to eat my food by myself. If you really need my bowl back, I would like something to trade-out with it! So, I met a couple dogs here and they seemed OK. I met this particular one that was really invasive to my personal space! I let him know I didn`t like that with a quick correction growl, but after that I just wanted to keep to myself. Overall, I`m looking for an experienced husky home dedicated to further socialization, training and exercise to help me live a healthy, happy life. Hope to meet you soon!! show less

Initially nervous but recovers with time and schmoozing. Suspect much of it was from the shelter environment. Social and mostly tolerant but occasionally a tad head shy. Prefers people to toys so far and walks decently on a leash with reminders. The same applies for the sit request, he does know it but you will need to be persistent in the cookie is for his rump on the ground. Suspect he has been a bit spoiled and lapsed into rewards for just being cute. He is a bit of a leaner and loves full body massage (who doesn`t?) Needs a leadership home with rules dedicated to training and exercise and in return you will enjoy a dedicated companion as he is a people dog.Dog to dog: Clearly has a preference for females. Had a respectful but stoic exchange with a mature medium sized male dog. Had a snarky bark reply for a upstart adolescent male. Was looser and more playful with some active female dogs of similar size. Not a dog for off leash or multidog venues. show less

Hey hey hey!! Thanks for checking me out. I have a nickname around here, beefy boy! Could you guess why? I am a ENERGETIC, hyper guy looking for the perfect family for me. Which, honestly I think would be a family with no children under the age of 15. The reason for that is because of my high level of arousal with jumping and being very mouthy. Now, more about me. I love to say hi to my handlers. I will let them know with a big ol` wiggly butt and a big kiss to the face! I do pull on leash when first leaving anywhere but that`s just because of the initial excitement for just getting some fresh air, after that I am pretty easy to walk afterwords. I allow handling from everyone but I get sooo excited and happy that I become really mouthy! So watch out for your fingers! I love to play with my handlers but I would recommend allowing me to calm down if I get too much, which would be best for both you and I. I currently know sit and down and would loooove to learn some more commands! Especially since I am very food motivated. Speaking of food, I LOVE food! I love it so much that I would rather not share. I hope you understand what I mean by that so please be respectful and allow me to finish my food. Now dogs, they`re cool! All types of them. Although, I think I am a bit pushy when I meet them. So I would recommend helping me socialize with other dogs to help me. So to run things down, I would recommend myself in an experienced household who understands my behavior and can properly manage it. As well as a household with no young children. If I fit your lifestyle, I hope to meet you soon!!Dog-Cat: Saw a couple cats and ignored, kept sniffing around. Once in room, face to face w/ a kitten. Sniffed, slight tail wag then turned and walked away. show less

Recommend an experienced leadership home with kids age 12 years and up who are gentle and respectful. Social, moderately tolerant high energy adolescent who exhibited hard jump ups and some light to medium mouthing. Pulls on leash - recommend a front lead harness to maximize mileage on your much needed walks. Is there a runner in your home who needs a companion? Played intermitently with a stuffed squeeky toy and chased a tossed ball but with no retrieval interest. Demonstrated a hard competitive push on yummy food - traded out. Highly recommend this be her training policy for good habits. Treat motivated, knows sit. Needs a leadership home with rules dedicated to training and exercise.Dog to dog: Excitable greet with a calm respectful medium sized male dog. Distracted by odors in the environment and exchanged mutual sniffs. Then she suddenly bounced off his hind end from the side four times in quick sucession in oblivious play but was not reciprocated so seperated and ended session. Will need matching for her play partners. show less

Reccomend an experienced home with kids age 12 and up who are gentle and respectful. Lottie is a moderate energy teenager at an awkward age. She sometimes presents as serious and somewhat judgy as she is figuring out her place in the world. Other times she presents as a silly, playful youngster.She is moderately social, mostly tolerant of handling and pulls on leash. She shows no interest in toys at this time, but hopefully she will loosen up and enjoy them soon.In the assessment when presented with a particularly yummy bowl of food she settled into enjoying it. She refused to budge from it despite a hard push from a fake hand. No other escalation shown. So we instigated a `trade out` upgrade as a training exercise. She participated in this exercise 3 times as an interruption of her meal and we let her finish the bowl. The last step into her food area resulted in a freeze and solid direct eye contact. We carefully resumed the last trade out for the bowl. Continuing this protocal is a must, in addition to a leadership training policy called `nothing in life is for free`. Lottie needs an experienced leadership home with rules dedicated to training and exercise.NOT CATSDog to dog - 1st encounter: Met a medium sized calm mature male dog where she mostly ignored him and looked through him mainly checking out the environment. A few times briefly when in close proximity she would focus on him with pilo and a slight freeze before resuming ignoring him.A few days later, 2nd encounter:An introduction was done with a more confident, bolder adult male Pittie. She became pilo erect from afar, pulling towards, barking and general trash talking. Wanted to meet as an equal and rather full of herself. On closer encounter she was startled when he called her on it and hovered over her (ranking) and sniffing invasively. She finally (caved in her posturing) gave a light tail wag, became playful and jumped on the handler multiple times. So when confronted with a stronger personality she allowed invasive sniffing without correcting or avoiding- then went and jumped on handler out of mouthy arousal. She jumps excessively. In summary: Someday over the next year of learning she will be a high ranking female with dogs. Guiding her sucessfully through this period of learning will be formative in her adult personality to be cognizant of proper dog diplomacy and not become a bully. No off leash venues or multiple dog sett show less

Hi there! My names Lucy. I love to meet new people and say hi to everybody I see!! I tolerate most handling and LOVE toys!! Squeaky stuffed toys are so much fun, and I enjoy playing patty-cake with tennis balls, funny right? Now, I can tell you what`s mine is mine and I hope you can respect that. I was chewing on a rawhide and staff tried to take it away! I let them know it`s not something I wanted to give up so, I let them know with a correction. I do believe I need some type of management to what I believe is `high-value` items to me. With that being said, I need a type of leadership home with rules dedicated to training, management and exercise for me! Since I`m so playful : Oh! Also, I met a respectful, mature medium sized male! We met so well but then he began to become a little rude and invasive, so I gave him a corrective snap! I was about to complain, but I just did a huffy departure instead. Now with that being said, I hope to meet my forever family soon! show less
