This little sweetie (literally, his name means sweet) is SAKARI, a 12 week old male that was surrendered to HOPE with his 4 siblings so they could find good homes. All of his siblings have been adopted or have pending adoptions and we can’t believe he is still waiting! First of all, he is absolutely adorable with his 2 different colored eyes and his ears that touch each other on top of his head. Second, he is a really smart, well behaved little guy (for his age and breed). He knows sit and will run to his kennel and sit for his meals, as well as treats. He is working on crate training and has done amazing – he sleeps in it all night long with no accidents. Overall, he’s getting better with potty training but occasionally still has accidents in the house but not often. He LOVES playing with his foster mom’s dog so it would be nice for him to have a doggy friend in his new home. He likes to chase the cat but it’s just out of curiosity so he could be okay going to a home with cats as well. Small children kind of weird him out so a home with older children would be ideal. SAKARI needs a home that has the time to work on potty training (not pee pads) and that will give him lots of daily excercise and activity. Adopters need to understand that he is a husky mix and will be a high energy breed for many, many years and that puppies/dogs are a lifetime commitment!

This little cutie is TINY, a 3 year old male that was surrendered to us so he could find a better home. When TINY initially came to us he was absolutely petrified of everyone and everything, he still is but is slowly warming up. He has gotten pretty comfortable with one staff member and is allowing them to pet him and even pick him up! We’re very proud of his progress to say the least. He needs a home that understands it may take him some time to fully be comfortable. A home that won’t push it with him and give him the space and freedom to adjust to being in a new environment. We know deep down in his tiny little body that he wants the attention and he wants to sit in your lap but it’s all just a little scary to him and that’s okay. He would do best with adults only or respectable teens as little kids would be too much for him. He does need to put on some weight but he will probably only be about 15-20lbs at a healthy weight.

This very handsome boy is GRAM PARSONS, we estimate him to be about 4 years old but we will get a better idea once he can be seen by our vet. He was found running near Ewen, MI on the Gogebic county and Ontonagon county border and picked up by a good samaritan. Sadly, no one ever came for him and we are very surprised because he is SUCH a good dog! He’s smart, friendly, loving and seems to have had a home at one point in his life. He LOVES running around in the yard and playing with toys. He likes to play tug and also just loves running around with a toy in his mouth playing keep away. So far, he seems okay with the other dogs here and actually seems like he wants to play with them. We will further test him with them in the near future. Cats and children are still unknown at this time.

This handsome senior guy is OTTO, about a 10-12 year old male that was brought in to HOPE as a stray and never claimed. We don’t know much about OTTO since he is new to us but we’re learning that he is a very sweet, loving boy but inside his kennel he is very stressed, anxious and having a hard time. The moment he is out of it, he just wants to go, like he is looking for his person and wondering where they could be. It’s very sad and especially at his age, he should be living out his life in a home with his people. We are unsure of his breed, we assume some type of lab mix but we don’t know what he could be mixed with as he kind of looks like a lot of breeds all rolled into one. He does have some hair loss on his back so we have started him on some salmon oil treats to help with his skin and coat. He does show clear signs of arthritis in his legs so we’ll also be starting him on hip and joint supplements now that he is consistently eating. We would love to find OTTO a home as soon as possible because knowing how stressed he is here breaks our hearts.

This petite lil’ gal is LEONA, a 2 year old female that was surrendered to us so that she could find a home that was more suitable for her. We believe LEONA didn’t have the best home life because when she first came to us, she was pretty scared, timid and would cower when you approached her. She warmed up quickly to female staff and has warmed up to male staff as well but it took her a little longer with them. She’s the absolute sweetest little cuddle bug and just adores her people that give her lots of love and attention. She just needs someone gentle, calm and can give her the reassurance that she needs. But she also needs someone that will take her out and play with her because she LOVES running around in the yard and going wild. Loud noises and quick movements still make her a little nervous so an adult only home with no young children would be best for her. She does bark at strangers but we’ve determined her reactions to things is all fear based and it will take time to build her confidence up in a home. She would also do best as the only dog in the home as she seems to be selective on her doggy friends, she’s either totally okay with them or not at all so it would just be best to build trust and confidence on her own so that she is set up for success and not failure. Cats are unknown at this time.

This sweetie is QWARK, a 7 year old male husky mix that was surrendered to HOPE along with 9 others following a neglect case. QWARK is a very loveable, gentle and also a “quirky” senior boy (his name is very fitting). He absolutely loves people and stands on his hind legs so he can get as close as possible to you and so that you can hug him. He is an escape artist and doesn’t really love being left alone so he will definitely need to leashed/monitored when going outside. He seems just fine with all of the dogs here and really just seems to care more about humans and going outside to wander the yard. Even though he is a senior, he has lots of energy and drive but would also probably happily snuggle up with you at the end of a long day. QWARK needs a home that will take him on adventures, play with him and give him the stimulation he requires.

This gorgeous boy is TOKLO, a 3 year old male husky mix that was brought to HOPE along with 9 others following a neglect situation. TOKLO is one of the youngest males out of the group and a bit bigger than most of them. He’s a very loving, goofy boy that enjoys all of his new caretakers but is having a bit of a hard time adjusting to being in a kennel. He is doing okay but does get a little anxious. He says he would just much rather be out of there and playing in the snow with people! Although TOKLO did come in with so many dogs, we have observed that he does react to some of the other males but it may just be because none of them are neutered. This could very well change when they are neutered but proper meet and greets with other dogs in the home is always necessary (for any adoptable dog). TOKLO really is a sweetheart and will make someone a great companion.

This handsome young man is RANGER, a 3 year old male husky mix that was surrendered to HOPE along with 9 others following a neglect case. RANGER is one of the youngest of the bunch and also the most timid of the males. We suspect he may not have had as much socialization or human interaction as the others. He is a very sweet, gentle boy but he does get nervous and tenses up when you go to pet him. We are working on just sitting with him and calmly interacting with him to let him know he is safe now. He does come out of his shell a little more on his walks. They were outside dogs so being out and about is probably a little easier for him to adjust to than the kennel life. With that being said, we want all of these dogs to be INDOOR dogs and not left outside alone even though that is all they have ever known. They deserve a warm bed, love and care for the rest of their lives.

This goofy guy is WORF, a 10 year old male husky mix that was brought into HOPE with 9 others from a neglect situation. WORF is absolutely adorable and very, very sweet. He’s a gentle senior that has been nothing but a good boy since being here. He did come in with a UTI as well as eye issues that we are currently treating. We’re not sure if it was an injury to his eye, allergies or just genetics but one of his eyes is a bit cloudy and weepy. He is an older guy so it may be something he will deal with for the rest of his life but it doesn’t seem to bother or affect him at all. WORF does bark a lot in his kennel but he says he just wants to be out of it and hanging out with his humans instead. He’s also only ever known living outside with a bunch of other dogs so the shelter life is a little hard for him but he’s handling it the best he can until he finds his forever home.

This sweetie pie is LULCE, a 13 year old male husky mix that was brought to H.O.P.E. along with 9 others from a neglect case. LULCE was living as an outdoor dog, as well as the others, so now we are searching for a home that will keep him as an indoor pet like he deserves. He is a really, really good boy that just wants to love on his new caretakers, go for walks and play in the snow! He is gentle, sweet and likes to lean into you for attention which is just the cutest thing ever. For his age, he is in overall pretty good health aside from some issues in his hips but nothing uncommon for a 13 year old dog. He does have a lump on his side that our vet wasn’t too concerned about but we will have it x-rayed when he goes in for his neuter, just to make sure it isn’t anything serious. He’s still very much a spunky, playful guy!
