My story

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

Meet Snail – A Beautiful Husky with Eyes That Tell a Story of Survival

Snail is a 3-year-old Siberian Husky who has endured a horrific cruelty case in Indiana but has emerged with a spirit that is as strong as his striking, soulful eyes. These eyes tell a story of resilience, hope, and a deep desire to trust again.

Snail is gentle, intelligent, and incredibly loyal. While he may be cautious at first, his affectionate nature shines through once he feels safe. He’s looking for a calm and loving home that understands the journey he’s been on and is ready to give him the patience and kindness he deserves.

This majestic boy would thrive in a quiet environment with a family who can provide structure, love, and gentle encouragement. Snail is ready for a fresh start where he can feel safe, loved, and truly at home.

From his sleepover hosts: "Had the pleasure of hosting Snail for the weekend. He really is a wonderful dog! He's crate trained and housebroken. Have a treat handy, he's very food motivated! He's intelligent and wants to learn. He can "sit",and "down", and "sit and stay" before eating his food and before heading out for a walk. Obedience training would help Snail to reach his full potential.
He would do well with an active family, preferably with teenage children. Loves running and playing and is always ready for an adventure. He is high energy and needs work with leash walking. When excited he jumps and gets a little "mouthy", never hard or scary, just playful. He is a husky afterall!
In the house he'll follow you around and wants to see everything you're doing and is never far from "the pack" when relaxing after a walk. He's waiting for a loving family that is willing to provide the time and effort to help him become the awesome dog he was meant to be."
