My story

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

LET’S END THE WEEK WITH A TWIST — A HUSKY TWIST, THAT IS.

Meet Twila, the tricolor German Shepherd/Husky mix who is fully prepared to
blow up your life in the best possible way.

Let’s be brutally honest for a second:

Bringing home a husky (or husky-ish creature) is not for the faint of heart.

Husky people are built different.

You must embrace the chaos, welcome the zoomies, and accept that your
living room may briefly resemble a lawless frontier tundra.

Twila is affectionate, friendly, kid-approved, and REALLY playful. She’s
fabulous with other dogs, loved by every volunteer who’s ever held her
leash, and she approaches life with the kind of energy normally reserved
for toddlers who’ve had three Capri Suns. She also adores water. Splashing
it, stomping in it, bucking through it like a wild horse — water days are
her Super Bowl.

Twila also has three speeds:


1.

Absolute Lunatic – full-tilt boogie, no thoughts, just pure Husky chaos.
2.

Cuddle Bandit – blink and suddenly she’s draped across you like a
weighted blanket with opinions.
3.

Water Nymph – sees a hose, loses all self-control.

She’s cute on purpose — so when she steals your socks and sprints around
the house like she’s qualifying for the Boston Marathon, you’ll forgive her
instantly. Did you accidentally leave the sock drawer open? Yes. Did she
take the pair that smelled the most like your hopes and dreams? Also yes.

But look at her. You’d let her ruin your credit score.

At 2 years old, Twila is already stealing hearts. Her tricolor coat and
bright, goofy expressions make her a show-stopper, and her snuggly,
chaotic, water-loving personality seals the deal. Don’t be fooled by her
silly antics — she’s incredibly loving and smart, with a big heart she
hands out freely.

If you’re ready to bring home the perfect blend of Husky hurricane +
Shepherd loyalty + Water Park Employee of the Month…

Twila is your girl.
