Adoption Update❤️ Pickles is doing great...He is definitely a mommas boy and momma adores and loves pickles so much! He is already so spoiled with love, affection, care and tons of treats for being such a good boy. We are so excited to be embarking on this journey with Pickles.

Adoption Update❤️ Aida This is one special husky adopted 4 yrs ago. She was door dashing her last owners and now she's my boss telling me it's time to go home. She was reactive, her prey drive insatiable. Now she's a social butterfly and gets to watch squirrels still. #DDPHE
