Meet Zenith! Zenith was pulled from the euthanasia list at the Maricopa County shelter in November of 2023 with the help of a generous foster. According to shelter staff, he was e-listed for anxiety, shyness with humans, and a greater than normal potential for escape. Other than some moderate pulling on leash and a high interest in other dogs, he didn’t actually display any aggression or behavioral issues that we feel would make him unadoptable. He allowed handling and pets and had a wagging tail in the play yard. Once he was out of the shelter, he didn’t seem shy at all. He’s just a big friendly husky pup, and we’re so excited to give him a second chance!
Although Zenith was a bit restless for the first few weeks in his foster home, he gradually became more comfortable and accepting of attention. He has made a ton of progress in learning to listen to his humans and play nicely with other dogs. He’s definitely your typical high-energy husky who loves to play with other big dogs. He can be a bit rough at times when he wants to be in charge, but he is doing well at learning boundaries. He has shown some resource guarding behavior around the other dogs in his home, but that is improving as he adjusts to life in a stable environment. He is almost completely house- and crate-trained and, other than some occasional counter-surfing, shows no behavioral issues around the house. He continues to make progress in responding to corrections when needed.
With some consistent training, we know that Zenith has a ton of potential to be an amazing dog. He has done well with bigger dogs in both his foster’s home and other homes, though his behavior with smaller dogs and cats is unknown. He has also done well around older, dog-savvy kids; we aren’t sure how he would be around particularly young kids because of all his husky energy. He loves going for walks and actually does well on leash, though he will need some continued training to work on pulling, especially around cars. He also loves to play fetch and is very food-motivated. If huskies are your breed, Zenith is definitely your dog! He’s a sweet, playful, very talkative pup who would make a great companion for an active family, with or without other energetic dogs.

Additional adoption info
We ensure that our huskies only go to families on a property with a 6ft secure fence, and remain the guardian of the animal for life - if there is ever need for a family to rehome their husky again due to health or any other major concern, we are always willing to take the dog back and find them a new home.

We do not have a physical shelter location just yet, and operate solely out of foster homes. We are planning to begin participating in adoption events in the near future - these will be listed on our website once available!
