Jax came to us in late November with his sister who has already been adopted. He is a 5 year old large and gorgeous Siberian Husky. Jax has had a hard time transitioning to the shelter, so we wanted to open up the possibility of an experienced dog owner and/or someone knowledgeable about the breed.
Jax's previous owner stated that he is sweet, gentle, and smart but gets defensive in the crate. In the shelter, which is often stressful for dogs, he isn't a huge fan of men and interactions with strangers. He loves being outside and will sit politely and give "paw" for treats, which he takes very gently. He also loves stuffed toys! However, he does not trust staff or volunteers. He needs a confident owner and a safe space to work on his trust. It is possible that Jax will improve and return to his sweet self once he is in a different environment.
He is up to date on his vaccines, female dog friendly, and crate trained. He has had accidents in his kennel, but it may be because he is still intact, as his previous owner noted that he was crate trained. He is quite vocal, which is pretty normal for the breed and is sometimes hilarious. He is not neutered but will be before adoption. Please come down to meet him!
