My story

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

Introducing Severus, an eight month old Husky mix available for adoption. Severus was brought in by a citizen and he was a complete mess. He smelled foul, had patches of fur either missing or matted, a severe skin infection, emaciated, and wasn't quite sure of his new environment. It was very apparent that Severus hadn't been socialized, nor treated well in his short life span. He was just a nervous boy that hadn't experienced things that most other dogs take for granted so our techs got to work and started the whole process. He was placed on antibiotics and medicated bathes. He met other dogs and learned how to play and have fun. He would love to have another buddy at home to teach him the good life of being a dog. He also didn't seem to mind cats. He loves treats and peanut butter. He is learning that he doesn't have to scarf it down and that we promise that there will always be a next meal. Same thing with toys. Severus loves to play with toys and is baffled by the amount of toys that are in our bin. Because he is still adjusting, we are looking for a home without young children (15+ years). His new home should be prepared to take him to training so he can be molded into an outstanding pup. On top of everything, Severus is your typical Husky. Beautiful, eye catching, and full of sass/attitude. Huskies are not for the weak and if you truly know the breed, you understand that sentence and have stories upon stories about the breed. We love his Severus Snape scowl and his little legs (he's definitely mixed with something.. possible pomski maybe?). Severus is looking for a special home and will patiently wait until we find it for him. Until then, he'll enjoy his time with the vet techs and learn the ropes of being a good dog with us. His adoption fee is $265, which includes his vaccines, fecal exam, deworming, heartworm test, flea/heartworm prevention, registered microchip, and neuter. He is already fixed!
