My story

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

Yogi is an active, outgoing husky mix. This one-year-old boy gets along well with most dogs and enjoys roughhousing with them. He loves playing with toys, especially tug-of-war with other dogs or his humans. Fetch is not his thing; he would much rather be chased. When not playing, Yogi is an affectionate boy who loves to give kisses. Yogi has been through obedience training and knows basic commands such as sit and down. He will work for treats! Yogi is working on his leash manners and does better with a transitional lead or halter rather than a regular collar. He is both house and crate-trained. As a husky cross, Yogi is very vocal and will sing along with huskies on YouTube videos and will let you know what his thoughts are by vocalizing. He is not a big barker unless a stranger approaches the house. Yogi has an advanced prey drive so he would be better in a home without any cats or other small animals. He came from a loving home but kept chasing the homes existing cats. Despite training, the situation couldnt be corrected. He has a sensitive tummy and needs food for sensitive stomachs. Apart from that, Yogi is up to date on his vaccinations and is neutered. Yogi would do best in an active household. He is a young mix of Husky, Greyhound, Malamute, Saluki and German Short Haired Pointer - all active dogs. He's been good with all kids he's met, but hasn't been tested with babies or toddlers.
