Lazarus decided 2 weeks in Isolation was enough after transported here from Penetas’.. Thank goodness he is dog friendly as he is now with the pack..At least I know now he’s a climber and might require a privacy fence- lol- He just got neutered a week ago but obviously this mellow nature boy was done being alone and wanted to hang with some buddies..His hair is growing back and can’t wait to see how gorgeous he will be.

This morning, Keegan stepped into his foster‑to‑adopt home, and it feels like watching a chapter turn in real time. Rebecca, thank you for showing this gentle boy what safety and softness look like. We’re all pulling for you, Keegan. And until your neuter… try not to let Lexi steal too much of your heart. We know you’re smitten, but let’s keep the romance slow‑burn for now.🥰🥰

Foster already found… Thank you Rebecca❤️❤️ former adopter in the local area..

😢😢Update- The family who was going to keep Keegan no longer can as they rent and Landlord won’t allow: This boy needs again the love, safety and security he deserves..

Keegan wasn’t supposed to lose everything.

For nearly seven years, he had known what home felt like—the comfort of familiar voices, warm hands on his thick coat, and the quiet rhythm of a life filled with love. He is a stunning Siberian Husky, the kind that turns heads wherever he goes—bright eyes full of life, a gentle soul beneath his striking beauty. And for all those years, he was cherished.

But life can change in ways no one prepares for.

His family, who loved him deeply, slowly lost their footing. His parents split up and what started as hardship became something heavier—something they couldn’t outrun. When they lost their home, they held onto Keegan as long as they could, doing everything in their power to protect him, to keep him safe through the uncertainty. Letting him go was never the plan… it is the last, hardest act of love they have left to give as Keegan and his dad have been homeless for some time with nowhere to go.

Then, everything unraveled even further.

Keegan’s dad—was suddenly hospitalized. And just like that, this boy who had once known some stability even with homelessness, affection, and belonging found himself completely alone, his future uncertain. A safe place to land was found in a temporary foster, but even that safety is fragile. The home that took him in cannot keep him—dogs aren’t allowed where they live. And now, time is running out.

Behind those beautiful eyes is a quiet confusion. Keegan doesn’t understand why everything has changed. He only knows he is waiting… waiting for someone to choose him again.

Despite it all, Keegan’s heart remains open. He is everything you could hope for—gentle with children, friendly with other dogs, house trained, and calm. He’s not a barker, not a troublemaker. He simply wan. The only thing he asks is a home without cats, where he can finally exhale and feel safe again.

Right now, he is under the care of Hounds of Freedom and Hoardin’ Huskies—two rescues doing everything they can to stand in the gap for him. But like so many rescuers, they are stretched thin, overwhelmed with medical costs and the never-ending need to save lives like Keegan’s.

He’s had his initial vaccinations, and he’s scheduled for his neuter and rabies soon. Every pledge, every dollar, helps ensure he gets what he needs—not just to survive, but to have a chance at a new beginning.

But what Keegan needs most… is a place to land.

A foster. A temporary safe haven. Just until his vetting is complete. Just until we can promise him something more permanent. Something stable. Something he hasn’t felt in far too long.

This boy didn’t do anything to deserve this.

And still, he is waiting—hopeful, gentle, and ready to love again.

If you can open your home, even for a short while, you could be the reason Keegan doesn’t lose everything twice.

I have my friend and coworkers pup Bella (Red) a former Hoardin’ Huskies rescue here with the pack at Hounds of Freedom while her momma is on a Mediterranean Cruise.. Bella loves the all day playtime with the other pups but I think this water baby loves the water even more.

Saved Just in Time, Ready for His Forever Home ✨

In late March, a small team of us from Hoardin Huskies and Hounds of Freedom made the long trip down to the RGV in Houston. We walked into the Harris County Shelter knowing we’d meet dogs facing the unthinkable — dogs who were out of time, out of chances, and still somehow full of hope.
And then we saw Del.A smaller size Alaskan Husky/Shepherd mix.
He wasn’t barking.
He wasn’t pacing.
He wasn’t begging for attention.
He just sat quietly in his kennel — calm, gentle, and heartbreakingly defeated. The kind of dog who tells you his whole story with one look. The kind of dog you cannot walk away from.
We knew instantly: Del deserved another chance.
So we saved him.
And now, after being transported safely to Ohio, Del has shown us exactly who he is — and who he must have been before life took a hard turn.
In just a short time, we’ve learned:
• He knows many commands
• Walks beautifully on a leash
• Is wonderful with all dogs
• Is house trained
• Is gentle, polite, and eager to please
• And yes… he is the best boy during bath time
It’s clear someone once loved him, trained him, and cared for him. Somewhere along the way, he lost everything — but he never lost his sweetness.
Del is about 3 years old, neutered, microchipped, fully vaccinated, and heartworm negative. He is ready — truly ready — for the forever home he should have had all along.
This boy has been through enough.
He deserves a family who will never give up on him again.
If you’ve been waiting for a gentle soul, a loyal companion, a dog who will look at you like you hung the moon… Del is your boy.

If interested in Del complete an application with either.
