**Due to an overwhelming amount of calls, we are not scheduling any more showings at this time. Thank you for understanding.**

We have two adorable puppies available for adoption! Echo is the female with the beautiful blue eyes,
Norbert is the black and tan male puppy. They are currently 9 weeks old.
These pups are Husky/Shepherd mix and will be big dogs when full grown. They will be active, high energy dogs and will need families who can keep up with their energy.
If you are looking to add a playful active dog to your family please give us a call to arrange a time to meet these puppies. They are both in foster homes and we can arrange meet and greet times to have them brought in. sh

It took quite a bit of convincing for this “little boy “ to play in the snow. He did tell me what he thought of it afterwards 🤣
