My story

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

Lee • Siberian Husky • 4.5 Years Old • ~65 lbs

Lee is a striking red-and-white, blue-eyed Siberian Husky with a big personality and an adventurous spirit. After a rough start in a multi-dog home, he’s learning what family life looks like and is thriving with structure and consistency.

Lee is affectionate, gently goofy, and very people-oriented. He loves being close to his humans and will happily keep you entertained. He is housebroken, though occasional accidents may happen as he continues to adjust after long periods of indoor confinement earlier in life.

This athletic boy has lots of energy and loves walks, running, and exploration. He is very strong, so he needs a handler who can manage his strength. Lee does well with respectful children (best with kids 10+) and other dogs, but no cats due to a strong prey drive.

Lee knows sit, down, wait, and paw and continues to work on leash manners. He loves toys (especially squeaky ones), duck jerky treats, and even shelled peanuts.

As a true Husky, Lee is intelligent, vocal, and an escape artist. He has cleared 5–6 ft fences and requires a secure yard with a tall, solid fence. When left alone, he needs a puppy-proofed home and a heavy-duty crate, as he can counter-surf and escape standard crates. He’s improving and learning that his people always come back.

Lee will thrive with an active person or family experienced with Huskies. He is not suited for an elderly household. In the right home, Lee will be a loyal, fun, and loving companion.

✨ All Heart of America Humane Society dogs are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccinations. If you have other dogs in your home, we require that they meet our dog prior to adoption.

More about this rescue

The Heart of America Humane Society is an all-volunteer, 501(c)3 non-profit organization helping to place shelter and foster animals into permanent homes in and around the greater Kansas City metro area.

Our goal is to save and improve the lives of Kansas City's homeless companion animals by promoting responsible pet ownership. The Heart of America Humane Society (HAHS) partners with the Lee's Summit Animal Shelter (Lee's Summit MO) and KCK Animal Services (Kansas City KS) to increase pet adoptions into responsible, permanent homes.

Background
Our organization does not have a permanent facility or paid staff, so many of our adoptions take place at PetSmart stores and occasionally through other event venues. Some events raise awareness and bring in donations for our animal support efforts, while others help acknowledge and show appreciation for our own volunteers (who perform all duties outside of their regular jobs). Visit our website to learn more about us at heartofamericahs.org.
