My story

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

Leo is a really fun energetic dog. He needs to be the only pet in the house. He is looking for someone that doesn't have or isn't planning on having kids or grandkids living in the house. He would, however, be a great playmate for a strong teenager. He is eager to play tug and pull and it's his favorite play-activity. He does enjoy running around with other dogs but becomes possessive over his dinner (not treats) and toys. He is very independent and needs a large yard to live in but would need to come inside at night during the winter and needs shade available for the summer.  He is an incredibly alert dog and will tell you when people are at the property. He is good about staying in his yard but eventually comes back if he does happen to run out the door.  He will kill any rodents. He also wards off coyote and deer very effectively. Leo knows around 30 words/commands and would likely be open to learning more.



Owners can no longer accommodate him due to life circumstances.



He is very energetic, extremely fun to be around, independent, smart, and surprisingly quiet for a husky.



He would need a family who can either provide a lot of land for him or who can walk/run him a lot. He loves hikes and he loves going to dog parks, where he is always trying to play with other dogs.



If anyone is interested please call/text owner at 253-878-2253.

More about this rescue

No shelter in our county, so in 2005, PAWS formed to start the process of building one and to provide foster homes for homeless pets.
