AUGGIE 🐾

Auggie is a serious yet fun guy who may have a small body but a bigger dog’s personality. He loves people but he does not love being treated like a doll or a small child. He enjoys cuddling up but needs his space and autonomy respected like any other individual. Auggie makes a great friend and partner and bonds quickly to his family. He is easy to live with and behaves well when going places with you.

Auggie is fine with dogs big and small and probably cats, too. Though, sometimes he gets a little grumpy about his space when he is on the couch or bed which has led to his nickname Emperor Augustus. 🙂

He is good on leash and likes car rides. He is housetrained. He is fine home alone.

Auggie is about 2 1/2 years old. He currently weighs 15 lbs but on a diet to lose one or two. He is probably a shih tzu mix.

If interested in Auggie, please fill out our pre-adoption form:

Kona🐾

Meet Kona (aka “Kona Shark”) 🐾
Age: 4 years | Breed: Husky | Weight: 60 lbs

Kona is a sweet, affectionate, and hilariously charming husky who’s ready to find his forever adventure buddy! He’s a total character — equal parts goofball and cuddle bug. When he sees you grab the leash, get ready for pure excitement — “walkies” are his absolute favorite, and he’ll light up with joy knowing an adventure is ahead.

He’s a social boy who loves meeting new people and playing with other dogs, so outings like Idaho Pups & Ales or any local dog-friendly event are right up his alley! Kona would thrive with an active person or family who enjoys outdoor fun.

Kona also has a softer side — he gives the best husky hugs and kisses on command and will even dance with you on his hind legs when he’s feeling extra affectionate. At home, he’s a bit of an oddball in the most endearing way — he’ll sit and watch TV like a person, and if you let him, he’ll perch at the edge of your bed for a late-night movie session.

True to husky form, Kona values his independence (and his beauty sleep 😴). He doesn’t love being pulled or grabbed, so he’ll do best in a home with older kids or adults who understand dog body language.

Kona’s Skills & Habits:
✅ Great recall (unless a squirrel is involved!)
✅ Potty trained
✅ Crate trained (just give him a minute — he’ll get there!)
✅ Walks well once the initial excitement passes
✅ Knows sit, shake, and “up” for hugs

Kona’s Ideal Home:

A fenced yard (6 ft, please — he’s got hops!)

A patient, loving family who understands huskies

Someone who won’t leave their snacks unattended — this foodie doesn’t discriminate!

Kona is a loyal, fun-loving companion who will make you laugh every single day. If you’re looking for an adventure partner with a big heart and even bigger personality, Kona Shark is your guy. 🩵

If you’re interested in adopting Kona please fill out the pre adoption application on the link below .
