My name is Carissa!

Carissa is stunningly attractive with her tawny coloring and hazel eyes. She’s a real looker! She looks soft and she is! She has a sweet easy-going disposition. Carissa is a three year-old 62 pound Siberian Husky that came to the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 1/5 as a stray. When she got out into the yard, she happily romped back-and-forth and even climbed on our play equipment. She would look over the wall indicating she’s alert. However, if you know anything about huskies, you know they love to run and in so doing are known to escape. Carissa will need a tall secure fence. She will also need frequent brushing. She can be vocal. I think she was telling me she was missing her owners. When she was across the yard, I called her. She came running to me. She’s friendly but not overly so. She’s well mannered and doesn’t jump on you. I get the feeling she hasn’t gotten used to a lot of petting. However, she sure could get used to it! She walks very well on a leash. She did her business when she got out into the yard. She needs a yard to explore and play in but would like to “chill” with her new family watching TV in her own bed or on a pile of blankets.
