Maui is a big goofball with lots of energy. This incredibly intelligent pup has mastered sit, shake, and down! Maui would benefit from an active home with lots of love to give.

Story
We adopted Brady 7 and a half years ago from a rescue when he was approximately 3 months old. He is half Husky and half Australian Shepherd, about 50 lbs, and will be 8 years old on Halloween. He is a very smart, gentle and friendly dog, great with kids, and still very athletic and active. Due to my allergies and prolonged exposure (resulting in a severe and progressive autoimmune disorder) we are hoping to rehome him with a family much like our own (active/outdoors, young children).

Story
A very sweet, loving to her owners dog with significant fear and anxiety. We believe she was not socialized properly as a young puppy; she is 4 now. We adopted her 6 months ago after fostering and have invested training and vet care. Suggest experienced adopters only, preferably home where owner can work from home or stays at home with her and without too many visitors. Other dogs ok (especially if other dog is older and relaxed). Sorry, no kids. Main behavioral issues: Significant stranger fear / aggression. Despite training has issues managing reactivity with strangers and new people - barking, lunging. Please write us in detail about your home, lifestyle, ability to provide the right environment, and experience with special need pets. We love her a great deal and believe she can be much happier and blossom with the right set up. We will not respond to questions or requests that are not already covered here (eg - don't ask us if she's good with kids - we already said no!)
