Hi, I’m Champ!
As you can see from my photos, I’m a pretty handsome guy with a great smile. In typical husky fashion, I have a LOT of energy and would love to be your hiking, running or swimming buddy. I even have a number of tricks to keep you entertained!
I look up to the great Houdini and have been known to make great escapes of my own. All of my furriends are impressed when they hear about the times I’ve jumped over fences and broken through crates!
The PDA handlers describe me as goofy, loving, loyal and sweet.

Hi, I’m Gatlin!
I love to snuggle, chase butterflies, play with the garden hose and spend time with my best furriend Khoya.
I keep a close circle and have a really hard time making new furriends. Stranger danger, amirite?? Speaking of Stranger danger, I don’t trust new people and can react aggressively out of fear. Thankfully I’ve mastered wearing a muzzle so I can experience the outside world! I will need a lot of time to learn to trust my new family and would prefer to stay safe in my crate when visitors come by. Also, tiny humans scare me. They’re so grabby and unpredictable – adults only please!!

Hi, I’m Khoya!
Like my BFF Gatlin, I also have a hard time meeting new people and dogs and can react aggressively.
Once you get past my tough girl demeanor, I’m loving, loyal and sweet. I especially love belly rubs and snuggles! To keep others safe I’ve mastered my crate and muzzle skills.

Hi, I’m Piper!
I agree with Gatlin and Khoya… strangers are scary and cannot be trusted!! I will take some time to warm up to my new family but once I get to know you I will love you furever! I’m very cuddly and LOVE pets and snuggles.
The best way to get to my heart is through my stomach. I am a foodie and willing to taste test any new recipe – free of charge!! I also love crunching empty waterbottles, going for walks and playing fetch.
I am a smarty pants who is extremely obedient. I am especially proud of my downstay as well as my leash and muzzle skills.

Meet Sahara!
I am playful, curious and attentive. I love people and get along well with my select group of furriends. It’s best to keep me away from cats and other small creatures, I just can’t kick my predatory instincts!
While I’m friendly to most dogs, I have a hard time sharing and can get upset if another dog touches my stuff. I think I’d like to be your one and only pet.

Hi there, I’m Dakota!
I’m a very shy girl who takes her time warming up to new people. Since my owners passed away, it’s been hard to show love like I used to.
Once I get to know you I promise I’ll make a great best furriend. I’m affectionate and loyal and will enjoy following you around.
I will need some help building confidence in a new environment. I am especially fearful of loud noises. I’m shaking just thinking about fireworks!! Got a bathtub I can hide in?

Hiya, I’m Elwood!
I’m a sweet boy who loves a good snack. I like to play with my furriends and I enjoy pets and snuggles. Even though I’m a cuddly boy, I’ll need you to respect my space and let me come to you on my terms first. For this reason I think very young kids could make me uncomfortable.

Hi, I’m Zoli!
I’m a shy guy who is still learning the ways of the world. I love playing with furriends and keeping active. I will happily share my toys but I do NOT like to share the really good stuff like treats and chews.
I also don’t like young kids – too unpredictable!
I’m sweet, affectionate, loving and cuddly. With the proper guidance I’m sure I can become a polite young gentleman.

Hi there, I’m Zava!
I’m confident, playful and snuggly. I get along with dogs and people of all ages and I would love to join you on adventures! Around here I’m known for my kind heart and affectionate personality. I know Huskies have a reputation of being high energy but I’d say I’m more of a medium energy gal. I’m up for a pawty but I also know how to keep things chill. I have high prey drive so I’d prefer not to live with small dogs and/or cats.

Hello, I’m Tango!
I’m a total sweetheart who gets along with everyone. I have a lot of energy and am very playful, hopefully you are too! I believe that communication is the core of a great relationship. My sweet hound noises and expressive features will let you know what I’m thinking.
I’m crate trained, great in the car and working on my leash skills.

Hey there, I’m Priya!
When I first came to PDA I was shy and nervous. I’ve been a very brave girl and am proud to say that I have even made some furriends! The handlers won me over pretty quick, I like to think I won them over pretty quickly as well. I love to snack so treats will go a long way in winning me over.

Hey, I’m Vincent!
I love: cookies, cuddles and naps.
I hate: strangers.
It’s hard for me to trust strangers, both humans and dogs. I must disclose that I am required to wear a muzzle in public, BUT I am muzzle trained and come with my very own. Once I get to know you I’ll be putty in your hands.

Hi there, I’m Lolli!
I’m a sweet, affectionate girl who is very obedient. I have fear based reactivity and unfortunately I have previously let fear get the best of me. Due to a bite history I request that my new home be child-free and that I be the only pet. Who needs kids anyways… I’ll be your baby!
In my short time at the PDA facility I have met new people and made new furriends with no issues, but I need new people and dogs to give me the time and space I need to get to know them before approaching me. I can be a little nervous but I mean no harm. I love my crate and should be crated when new people come over – no new friends!

Hello, I’m Clancy!
Don’t get distracted by my handsome features, I’m more than just my good looks! I’ve got a big heart and I’m available for all of your snuggling needs. I haven’t had much exposure to other dogs so I’m taking things slow. I’m a muzzle pro and good at paying attention to other dogs’ social cues.
I’ve been through a lot in my life. Before coming to PDA I was left at a kill shelter in Texas with a fractured leg. Thankfully I was rescued, my leg was fixed up and now I live in beautiful Kingston Ontario. Every once in awhile a get a little limp but otherwise I am right as rain!

I’m working on my weight loss journey. In the meantime my extra chunk will help keep you warm on cold nights! I’m a snuggle bug and will love following you around.

Ideally I’d like to be the only dog in your home but know that I can get along well with others if introduced correctly.

Hey, I’m Jäger!
I would describe myself as medium energy. I appreciate walks but I’m not into playing much anymore. I like to hang out with other dogs and I’ve even lived with a housemate so I’m OK sharing my space…just not with strangers! As a shepherd I believe it’s my duty to guard the home. I even have some bites under my belt so you know I’m serious! If you would prefer to be the one to guard the home I’ll need you to show your credentials. Plenty of structure and control will tell me that you’ve got things covered.

Hi, I’m Hawkins!
Are you hiring? I’d make a great guardian dog! With me, your property and animals within your property are safe. As a guardian breed, us Anatolians take our job seriously and we will become aggressive if we sense a threat. On my off time I’m a sweet affectionate pup who gets along well with all of my furriends. I love my people and I’m very loyal.

Hey, I’m Bernard!

Hi, I’m Bowie!!
I’m outgoing, playful and affectionate. I get along well with everyone and love to make new friends. In my new home I hope to continue to work on my leash skills. This hound nose knows no bounds and unfortunately I have a habit of letting it drag me (and the hooman walking me) around.

My furriends know me as the life of the pawty! I love to play and can outlast all of my buddies. I’d love to belong to a family who also loves to play.
I’m pretty popular at PDA, dogs and people love me! I’m also crate trained. What more can you ask for??

I’m a playful boy who loves furriends of all sizes. I have an easy going temperament but in typical Dane fashion, I would rather you let me come to you first. Once I get to you know you I’m affectionate and sweet. In the past I have had trouble with strangers walking on to my property. Strangers out in the world are OK, but on my turf? no thank you!!

I’m an easy going gal with lots of love to give. I have spent most of my life as a hunting dog but now I’m ready to retire.

I get along with everyone and have lots of furriends but due to my hunting background I would prefer not to live with cats or small dogs.
