Sending Healing thoughts and Prayers to Alison for a Speedy recovery. If you are able to Donate to her recovery. Please do so below.

Tonight we’re taking a break from sharing our dogs in cute Halloween costumes or showing an amazing Transformation Tuesday because last night Alison, our Co-Founder and Director, was t-boned while riding her motorcycle. Thankfully, Alison is alive and in stable condition, but not without multiple surgeries already and more to come.

Alison has already had 2 surgeries to repair her ruptured bladder, had a rod placed in her broken femur, and she has another broken bone in her leg along with a fractured pelvis (which will need to be repaired by a specialist).

Alison is in a tremendous amount of pain and the recovery will be a long and expensive one. With all the incredible things Alison has done over the years helping huskies, now it’s our turn to help her through this difficult journey.

*** REMY (RED) - AVAILABLE NOW! ***
✅ 4-6yr old male Husky mix
✅ Timid at first, but warms up to people pretty quickly
✅ Great with other dogs!
✅ Huge snuggle fan who will cuddle with you for hours

Remy is a sweet boy who has truly come out of his shell since he joined us.

We got him from the kill list at Maricopa County Animal Care and Control - and sadly the only reason that he ended up there was because he was just plain terrified.

Since his arrival, Remy now craves attention from people. When excited he does an adorable full-body wag and he will melt into your hands when you reach to pet him. He's a total snugglebug and is looking for his forever couch to crash on. Couch time with his humans is his favorite!

Remy also loves his people so much now that he will sleep in the bed with his foster family - he sleeps soundly through the night without incident (if permitted by his adopters of course).

Remy is a medium energy pup who will periodically explore the yard with the other pups but doesn’t seem inclined towards any crazy antics or destruction.

He has been great with all the other dogs in his foster home showing no aggression at all. He has learned how to walk on a leash with more confidence with his fosters too!

Remy is definitely food-motivated and takes treats gently from his fosters’ hands. He currently knows how to “sit”. They were also working on shake last we checked.

Although Remy gets along well with the other pups in his foster home, he doesn’t seem to be dependent upon them. It may help his confidence to grow more quickly though if there is another established, confident pup in his new home, but he would likely do well as an only dog as well.

He’s a smart and obedient boy who goes easily into his kennel without protest when asked, but also is inclined to be a bit of an escape artist and will find and exploit the weaknesses of a lesser kennel once his people have gone. A quality kennel is a must if Remy is to be crated - he may not need to be crated if he won't be alone for long hours.

Since being neutered, Remy now no longer marks inside either - it has been several weeks and this behavior is completely gone.

Remy is such a sweet boy and is the perfect example of why we give kill-list dogs a chance - that's all they need to show just how good they can be!

Lucy is about 2 years old and looking for her forever home! She unfortunately came back to us from her adopters just this past week, Lucy was just not acclimating well with their other dog, and with children in the house they felt it was too risky to work through her behaviors with young kids around - she is back at her fosters now and doing great there!

She is definitely more on the bossy / dominant side, but overall does do well with other dogs - there are 4 others in her foster home with her currently. She will need someone patient to work with her as she adjusts, and more submissive other dogs would likely be best. She is still young and active and has been through so much in her short life already!

Lucy had her knee surgery with our rescue not too long ago after her fosters noticed she struggled after too much activity - we had x-rays done revealing the issue, though she is now recovering very well!

Her fosters just adore her and have invested so much in helping her heal so she can live a full, healthy life. Lucy does well at the dog park and enjoys the company of other dogs, though may do better in a home with only 1 or 2 others - though she would be a fantastic only dog as well! She loves her human(s) most of all - she will be your shadow and follow you everywhere.

She LOVES water and does well with doggie baths (definitely a plus!), and loves to go for rides in the car.

She is also ok with cats. Her foster has a cat in the home that she will sometimes chase playfully, so dog-savvy cat who won’t be too overwhelmed would be ideal if she is to go to a home with a cat or two. She has been living with a cat for a few months now and has never shown any desire to hurt the kitty, so we feel comfortable with this assessment – though we do always recommend cats have a safe space to get away from dogs at least at first.

She has a preference to women over men, though has definitely shown some improvements here.

This sweet, gorgeous girl would love to go home with you! Apply to meet her today!

Meet Anna! She came so us off the euthanasia list at the shelter. This poor girl came in with blood on her face and unable to use her back legs. X-rays showed that she had a broken pelvis. Once we got her in our care our vet found that the injury was around 5-6 weeks old and healing well on it's own. It was so far healed it would have been worse to re-break it and fix the alignment, so her hips are a little bit off and she may have some arthritis issues later in life, but it sure isn't slowing her down now that she's feeling better!

She is SO playful and wants to be best friends with every dog she meets, large or small - borderline annoyingly playful, so we are recommending high energy friend(s) for her. She is very likely to be too much for dogs that are older or dogs that don't want to play.

She is super affectionate and will follow her person or people all over the house. She is also very cuddly and would love to sleep in bed with you too, if she's allowed! She is VERY smart and can get into mischief as a result - this has included getting into the trash if she's able, and working on escape plans from kennels or baby gates if she's contained. This is very typical young husky behavior and hopefully subsides in time as she is able to play and exercise more.

Anna shows some signs of potential prior abuse - she does not like brooms, rakes, or anything with a long handle and will run from these. She will not come inside when prompted unless you avoid eye contact with her. She also doesn't like loud or sudden movements.

We are recommending a home with older children, 12+, only - she has shown no aggression, but has clearly never been around young kids and seems to think they are aliens. She keeps her distance and barks / woos at them pretty constantly. This has been upsetting to the 6yo child in her first foster home, so we think older kids will be better suited for her.

Please fill out an application if you want to meet this sweet, spunky girl!

2yr old male Siberian Husky

Jones comes to us off the euthanasia list at the county shelter. As a typical Siberian Husky, he did not do well in the stressful, shelter environment. Guarding his food through the kennel barrier is what got him put on the kill list. Fortunately, he was so grateful to be busted out of the shelter that he gave his foster ALL the kisses in the car!

Now that he’s been with us for a few weeks, we have a full assessment of him:

Jones is a goof ball. He’s very very affectionate almost to a fault, and needs constant attention. He’s so focused on attention that he is almost unaware of anything else and so far has trouble doing regular dog things. He has shown a lot of separation anxiety, to the point where he cries when his foster is in a different room and he can’t get to him or see him. The cute part of this behavior is that he gets so focused on his person that he becomes a bit clumsy – he’ll often trip, run into things or fall off the couch just from not paying attention to anything but his person!

He is also highly intelligent, and has learned quickly that people do not like uninvited jumping and how to sit and wait to be pet. In just a few days Jones has learned to sit and wait for his food and will then eat it slowly and not hover over the others food as much.

His foster reports that now that he is in a safe, comfortable environment and decompressed from the shelter, he has shown no food or kennel aggression at all! It seems most likely that this behavior would only come out under extreme stress.

He also, weirdly for a husky, doesn’t seem to have much of a prey drive – his foster even has chicken and he will look at them, but not make any attempt to get to them. We would ALWAYS recommend caution when introducing a new dog to other animals, but this really is a great sign for Jones. He hasn’t been around cats yet, but we would not be opposed to a meet and greet given how he has reacted towards chickens.

Jones is also great with other dogs! He is very playful and submissive with them for the most part, and will accept correction from other dogs if he gets too worked up.

Jones will need a home where people are around a lot, or are able to bring him with them – he does not do well alone for extended periods of time, but he will be the most rewarding good boy for his forever family!

*** AVAILABLE NOW - DOUBLE TROUBLE! ***

Freki + Lucii - 3yr old bonded pair, Husky/Malamute mixes

Quick Facts:
✅ Good with kids
✅ Good with larger dogs
✅ Cats unknown
✅ High-energy
✅ Bonded pair

Freki and his sister Lucii both come to us from some unfortunate circumstances – their owner fell on some hard times and lost his home, and tried for months to find placement for the pair together. We agreed to help after all other avenues had been exhausted – the pair are currently in a boarding facility, but would just LOVE to have a foster home to stay in while they wait for their forever home!

They are both very adventurous, playful and outgoing and keep keep each other entertained for hours – they do play more on the rough side, so it may be a little more intimidating for those not familiar with crazy husky play, but it is definitely always play between these littermates.

Of the two of them, Freki is very food-motivated and is always looking for snacks (or ways to steal his sister’s food). He is a goofy boy who can also be gentle when he calms down.
Lucii is a little more of a trickster. Around people and Freki she is sweet and well mannered. She does have a tendency to resource guard (with other dogs only – no human-aggression) and should only be with other large, well-mannered dogs. She is also great with children. Both dogs have been around children as young as 3 and has done well. We ALWAYS recommend supervision and caution when it comes to large dogs and young children, and will require an experienced owner to place in a home with young children.
They are both huskies of course, so training can be a bit tough with this stubborn breed, but once they bond to a human and get the attention they need, they do follow commands. According to their previous owner, they know off, down (flat hand if they jump, point to the ground to lay down), sit, wait (closed fist, not stay) “be polite” if they are being nosy, “be nice” if they are playing too rough.

Freki is the more independent of the pair, though if Lucii is getting all the attention, he will still jump in to try to steal the show. He has been known to steal and chew up socks, but really that’s the extent of destruction reported.

Both are crate trained in separate crates, as well as do well in the car and with potty-training. As with most huskies this age, they do pull on a leash.
Both are amazing loving dogs, but they do need to stay together. Freki gets bad separation anxiety when Lucii is away.
