Ms. Koda is one of our longest term dogs and is still waiting to find her forever home! 💕
This pretty, husky girl came to us in January 2023 and is looking for a very particular home that can continue her training, socialization, and love her regardless of all her quirks! Koda is definitely a dog that loves to be outside and going on adventures! Even with the weather turning cool, she has not let that bother her in the slightest and still wants to go splashing through the water! Anytime she goes to the park she is always prepared to go swimming and to run through the leaves. When she has made friends with you, Koda is an absolute snuggle bug! She loves to be up in people's laps and LOVES to give kisses. Koda is very polite when she is out in public and walks nicely on leash. She also loves taking rides in the cars, especially when she knows she is going on an adventure!
Since being in our care, Koda has displayed resource guarding tendencies in her kennel that we have continued to work with. Due to this, we are asking that she go to a home where she is the only animal and with adopters who will understand that it may be an ongoing behavior that needs worked with. Koda does know 'sit', 'come', 'wait', and 'leave it'. She is extremely treat motivated and is always happy to get a snack!
Potential adopters are able to visit Koda only with an approved application on file. More information about this energetic girl can be found on our website or under our 'Available Dogs' album here on Facebook. Any questions can also be directed to us at 717-762-9091 or by email!
If you think you could potentially be a good home for Koda then be sure to reach out! 💜

I thought bear was there longer does this mean bear found a home?😱

Love Koda girl! She is such a diva 👑 She prances everywhere she goes

I hope she receives a wonderful home. She sounds great and perfect for an active family or person. I love Huskies and have had a couple. Please just remember when potentially adopting , they are an amazing dog breed and very smart, but if you’re unfamiliar with the breed , they are also escape artists and runners. She needs lots of exercise and play time. ❤️

Our happy boy, Sai, loves going and hanging out at the park! 🐾
This handsome boy came to us at the end of November 2023 and has almost been here for an entire year! Sai does have some behavioral troubles that we have been working very hard to help him with and a patient home who understands and continues his training will be necessary for Sai.
Even though he is 70lbs, Sai most certainly sees himself as a lapdog! When he is with his favorite people he is always curled up as close as can be to get all the butt scratches and belly rubs that he can. Sai is not much of a player when it comes to toys but does seem to like having them when he is hanging out on his own. He is not picky when it comes to his treats and has been working very hard on his commands. Sai walks politely on leash, knows 'sit', 'wait', 'leave it' and 'be nice' as a reminder when he is interacting with new people.
For as wonderful and loving as we know him to be, Sai does struggle with his behavior near men due to his background. We are aware he had some negative interactions with men in his previous home and that tends to be what causes his anxiety and fear aggression. We do feel Sai would do best in a women-only home. Sai previously lived with other dogs and has done wonderfully meeting other dogs on his outings! He is working on being able to be near cats and has been doing great with his training in regards to that as well.

We are still hopeful that Sai can find that home that is just right for him! He is such a wonderful boy with staff and we would love for him to find the home that will welcome him into their hearts with all his quirks, goofiness and affection. 💕
To visit with Sai, you do need to have an approved application which can be completed online or in person here at the shelter. We can also be reached at 717-762-9091 or by email for any further questions!
