Why I need a new home

Relocating

My story

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

Rusty is a good boy. We had him since he was a puppy and is completely house broken. He has the typical husky spunk and howl, but is surprisingly mellow for his bred. He is 10 years old right now. Has never shown aggression towards any person. Other animals on the other hand. He will get jelious around your pet cat, so keep that in mind. He does better around other smaller to medium size dogs, but doesn't tolerate dominant behavior in alpha dogs and may fight depending on the other dogs temperment. If you and your other dogs are mellow he will be too. He does love table scraps and will sneakly eat your food if you let him. He will need walks routinely or otherwise he will get depressed. He is very affectionate, but will not let you cuddle him like a lap dog. I took him through basic obedience school and broke the habit of jumping,chewing,and some barking. He knows basic comands like sit, come, and stay. Loves head scratches and belly scratches. Will you invite him into your loving home
