My story

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

Life is good! Spike here chatting with you from wonderful Wyoming! I was living an ok life with a nice family but my wanderlust tempted me too often and I was loose in a flash visiting all my girlfriends in the neighborhood. I loved my excursions so much that I would play games with my family when they tried to take me back home. So I ended up in a shelter just about ready to take the long walk when Moonsong stepped in and whisked me away just in the nick of time. The ride to Wyoming was quite an adventure with a carload of other pups to keep me company. All four of us pretty much slept the entire trip. I know…bor-ring!

Since I have been in Wyoming, I have met a few new ladies that I like a lot. I seem to like the girls more than the boys but there have been a couple of guy pups that weren’t so bad. If they are bigger than me and have a ‘big boy voice’, they tend to scare me a bit. After all, I am a little guy. I do love the human girls too…a little more than the human guys. I am a little more cautious around them at first but warm up pretty fast. Where I am staying, there is the nicest girl who walks me and feeds me and pets me and let me hang out with her in her house. She says I am super house trained, know several commands, really smart and just a love bug to be around. I am not really treat motivated unless you have the right kind of treats. Believe it or not but I turned my nose up at duck jerky! Really…go figure! I’ve never really played with toys so they are really new to me but one thing I do like is my personal wading pool. I bet I would be a Huski-dile if given the chance.

Spike is a handsome young male Husky that is super sweet and very calm for his age and breed. He does well around kids and especially female dogs. He definitely is a Northern Breed dog who loves to play hard. He is quite curious about the farm animals he is around now but hasn’t shown a real strong prey drive towards them so far. In fact, the resident pig scares him to death! His prey drive towards smaller dogs is starting to kick in so a home without smaller pets would be best. Because of his past ‘prison breaks’, he will need a secure fenced yard. He could also benefit from some obedience training to hone his leash skills. Spike will be neutered (don’t tell him that though) and have all of his vetting done soon. If you are looking for a young Husky to add to your family, don’t overlook this young man. He has everything going for him!

I'm located in Casper, Wyoming.
