My story

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

Yukon is a 2-year-old Malamute/Husky mix. He has one blue eye and one brown eye (bi-eyed). This sweetheart came to us recently with an oozing puncture wound on his face, severely underweight, and with scabs and infection all over his flea & tick covered body. He is much better now and has put on some weight. This is one gorgeous dog and he is a real sweetheart! Yukon gets along great with all the other dogs in his foster home. His one issue right now is that he is possessive over his food. The behavior is completely understandable since he was starving to death. We are working on this issue with him but, because of this, we will not adopt him to a home with small children.
