Let’s see if we can find this sweet girl a new home tonight!

Aurora has been waiting for bit now. Posted her a few times but she just hasn’t gotten a lot of interest and we can’t believe it! She is a beautiful pup. She is petite at only 40ish lbs. Loves to play and loves to love people. This girl is such a fun dog. Always zooming when she gets the chance and just so ready to please.

Paws crossed that that one person meant for her sees her tonight! :-)❤️

Edited: Her tongue isnt always hanging out. Unless that’s the reason you want to adopt her 🙃. Just get her playing and like magic, 😛 it’s back!

Duke has left the building(again)! Thank you to Butch and Christy and their beautiful girl for coming to meet Duke, spending some time with him and then adopting! We are excited and so were they! Thanks guys❤️

Take a look at this handsome guy. His name is Duke and he is approx. 1.5y. Gotten as a puppy then put in the backyard by himself after he got older.

He is a gorgeous GSD and is a sweet boy. He needs a little work but he will be totally worth it.
Come by and meet this hunk!

Happy Thursday from Aurora!

She heard that cooler weather is coming and is pretty stoked about it. All she needs is a buddy to take her on adventures with them. She promises to pay you back by making you smile with her silly antics and loving you like only a dog can. Pure, total admiration and loyalty! Don’t forget the snacks, though. Being a sweet silly husky gal is hard work. ❤️

Behind every wagging tail and big personality in this video is an incredible team making sure these furry friends find their forever homes!

There have been some recent parvo outbreaks. In animal shelters and rescue groups.

Please make sure your dog has been vaccinated. It’s so important to protect. Parvo is a cruel and an expensive thing to treat.

Learn about canine parvovirus, including clinical signs and prevention methods.

Collin loves hugs.
Jazz has been a good momma and now that the kids have mostly been adopted out… She is ready to find her own home too!
