• “Loves people, loves dogs, really LOVES to run and dig. Very high prey drive and will chase anything squirrel size that moves so without a fence she will absolutely run off. Looking for opportunities for her to run off leash without getting too far away“

  — Angie C.

• “Hi, I’m Nuka! I’m a German shepherd/chow mix and I’m 11 years old. Age is just a number for me as I can keep up with my sister when it comes to play time. I enjoy basking in the sunlight and refuse to come inside when it’s a nice cold day. My mom says my only weakness is that I follow my nose and that’s why I can’t ever be off leash. I’m a mommas boy through and through, I mean she did rescue me from a tiny, boring animal shelter.“

  — Shay G.

• “I’m Nuka, but my parents also call me Goober, Gooberino, the Baby, and “she’s just so cuuute.” I am told I am a tricolour husky, but I am colour blind, so I don’t know what that means. I have anxiety but love to run and sniff. Some dogs rub me the wrong way and I don’t know why. I’m working on it with mom and dad. When I’m not begging to go on walks, I like to sit on the back porch and watch the wildlife — not bugs though, I hate bugs. I am also a movie buff who loves horror jump scares and animal appearances - they’re OK from a distance). Thanks for reading — need belly rubs now.“
