My name is Aspen!

Aspen is a 3-year-old male Siberian Husky who came to the shelter as a stray and is still learning that he’s safe. He can be a bit unsure at first, but with gentle encouragement he’s easy to handle and settles back in without trouble. Aspen offers soft, sweet eye contact and, while shy, clearly wants to be near people. This sensitive boy can get nervous with touch and may shake when he’s scared, but he remains tolerant and allows handling. He isn’t quite ready for playtime yet and isn’t interested in toys right now he’s more focused on taking things in at his own pace. On leash, Aspen walks nicely with no major pulling, making strolls together calm and enjoyable. Aspen would do best with a patient, understanding adopter who can help build his confidence. Aspen would be a good fit for a home with teenagers who can respect his boundaries and move calmly around him.
