Meet Cosmo — proof that “chaotic good” is a real personality type. 🤣💙
He’s a young husky/husky mix with stunning blue eyes, a heart of gold, and a whole lot of love to give.

If you’re looking for a best friend who’s handsome, affectionate, and full of personality, Cosmo might be your guy. Come meet him and fall in love in person — those eyes are even better up close! 🐾🏡

🎄 All we want for Christmas is a home… 🎄
Our dogs were feeling extra festive during their Christmas photoshoot, but what they really want isn’t treats or toys—it’s a family of their very own. ❤️
Each of these sweet faces is waiting for a warm couch, a full belly, and someone to love them forever. If you’ve been thinking about adding a dog to your family, this could be their Christmas miracle.
🎁 Come meet them, share their photos, and help us make this a season of happy endings.

Not one of these dogs asked for a shelter kennel this Christmas… but we can help change that.❤️

🌟 Pet of the Week: Bear 🌟
Bear is about a year old and truly a stunning dog inside and out. Not only does he turn heads, he’s also a graduate of the prison training program — meaning he comes with a great foundation and great manners. 🐾🎓
He’s housebroken, crate trained, and knows some basic commands. Bear is dog-friendly, great with kids, and even seems to do well around cats! While he’s still young and energetic, he’s also eager to learn and ready to be someone’s loyal best friend.
If you’re looking for a smart, well-rounded, and handsome companion, Bear may be the one you’ve been waiting for. Come meet him and see just how special he is! 🏡💙
