Forrest, shepherd and husky mix
Forrest is an adorable male shepherd and husky mix currently housed at The Foster Farm.
He's mastered his house-training etiquette. He's already vaccinated and neutered.
Forrest's current caretakers say:
Forrest, a two to three-year-old husky, is stealing his foster's heart with his unique eyes and eccentric personality. He is very intelligent, but needs a dog-savvy owner to continue training. As with most huskies, Forrest can be stubborn, but listens well once you have his attention. He loves treats and snuggles. Forrest does great with dogs of all sizes and would be best suited in a home with children age 13 and older. He is also house trained and non-destructive in the home when left alone.Read more about how to adopt Forrest on Petfinder.

Jettie's current caretakers say:
Smart, loving, affectionate, Jettie really enjoys hanging out with people, whether it's playing ball outside or snuggling on the couch.
