My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Ivan is an awesome, loveable, neutered male Husky/Malamute mix. He is approximately 5 years old, extremely affectionate, well behaved in the house. He just wants to hang out with you and be your best friend! Ivan gets along well with other dogs but would love to be an only dog so he can receive ALL the attention. He would do best in a home without small dogs, cats or other small animals. Ivan is one big, hairy, lover boy! He requires regular maintenance on his toenails as they rupture easily and he has a massive coat (lots of shedding). All that said, he is well worth the effort. This is a very special dog!



A fenced yard will be required to adopt Ivan (NO exceptions). Ivan will roam if given a chance and this is for his own safety. If you do not have a securely fenced yard, please do not apply for Ivan. An Invisible Fence is not acceptable.
