• “Akira likes to pick on her brother and try to steal his toy while he runs with the zummies. She's very 'alpha' and gets a little anxious so she barks some at first in new spaces with new people but quickly warms up and will likely flop over for all the belly rubs. She's a sweet fluff ball and just wants to lay around for anyone to pet her belly. Sometimes when she's feeling sassy her malamute comes out and she'll talk back to you.“

  — Jeri M.

• “Husky mix, 45lbs is a sweetheart with tons of energy! She loves people, but since my head injury in December 2021, she has developed some guarding issues and isn’t as friendly to other dogs as she used to be. I’m hoping by providing her with an outlet for excess energy she can regain her ability to be more relaxed around other dogs.“

• “Hi I'm Akira! I'm a Siberian husky and I've got the brains to prove it. I don't talk very much but you will definitely love having conversations with me. I had a rough start in life but after I found my hooman things got soo much better. She even helped my stomach pain go away. I'm a big cuddle bug until my hooman tries to take my floof away with the evil "brush" she doesn't understand how long it took me to grow that floof but I don't hold it against her.“

  — Rebel C.
