Husky and Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption in Horn Lake, Mississippi

Meet Aja (pronounced like Asia): Aja is about a 10 week old (as of May 1, 2026) husky / shepherd mix (best guess) that weighs about 10 pounds. Aja was given to our colleague in Holly Springs, MS by a local resident without much background or information. Aja is now safe and being fostered in the south and would love to catch the next freedom ride north to Pennsylvania to meet more prospective families! Aja is a sweet little girl with a typical puppy personality. Aja alternates between playing and sleeping and shares love and affection. As a puppy, Aja will need some patience while she works on her house training. We would love for Aja to have a home with a fenced in yard for her to run and play freely. Aja is up to date on her puppy shots and will need to be spayed when age appropriate. If you are interested in giving this growing little girl a great life, please go to Charlie's Crusaders website (www.charliescrusaders.org) to fill out an application.

CURRENT LOCATION: Mississippi, awaiting transport to PA.
