Meet Bleu, a social butterfly in a husky suit who firmly believes that humans are for cuddling, leaning on, and kissing at every available opportunity. He is incredibly affectionate, comfortable being handled all over, and greets everyone like a long-lost friend. Personal space is optional in Bleu’s world, and he wouldn’t have it any other way.
Bleu walks nicely on leash for a young husky, though he prefers a meandering route with lots of sniffing and enthusiastic scent-marking. He isn’t especially food motivated, but he does enjoy certain high-value treats and is much more driven by attention and praise. He doesn’t have basic cues yet, but he’s engaged and people-focused, which gives him a solid starting point for training.
He’s friendly with other dogs and generally polite at first, but he can come on strong and may try to mount, so any dog friends should be tolerant and playful. He disengages easily when redirected and shows neutral, appropriate body language. He may be able to live with cats with proper, slow introductions. Bleu is likely to do well with respectful kids of any age.
Future adopters should know that Bleu is a talented escape artist. He can slip out of collars and harnesses, chew through gear, and dig under fences quickly, so he will need direct supervision even in a secure yard and plenty of mental and physical enrichment. Tie-outs are not an option for him.
Bleu also has a history of separation-related distress and struggles with being left alone or confined, including attempting to escape when separated from his person. Apartment living is not a good fit, and his adopter will need to be committed to working through separation training.
If you’re an experienced dog home looking for an affectionate husky who adores people, enjoys an active lifestyle, and is ready to work on some big feelings with the right support, Bleu may be the perfect match.
