Meet Sullivan and Ciela, twin husky-mixes!

They were found at MccGaffey Lake and followed a man on his walk. The man took it upon himself to bring the dogs to the McKinley County Humane Shelter to see if they were microchipped. They didn’t have a chip and were fostered by the founder until the shelter had room for them.

Sullivan can be vocal and playful when he’s in the mood. He stays calm when he’s around his sister Ciela. Sullivan is the more dominant of the two, but he gets very lonesome when his sister is gone. Ciela is very active and honestly could care less if her brother is gone. She is an independent female and just likes to do her own thing.
