HUSKER is sweet, smart, and — true to his Husky nature — wonderfully expressive. He has soulful eyes, a playful voice, and a gentle desire to connect once he feels safe. Husker came from a very difficult situation with someone who was harsh to animals, and he was only surrendered after being seriously injured. When he arrived in our care, he required extensive surgery and a long recovery. Healing his body took time — but earning his trust has taken even longer.
Today, Husker is fully healed and does beautifully. He walks and runs without issue and is ready to begin a new chapter with a family who will show him consistency, kindness, and patience. As he settles in, his personality shines: he sometimes lifts his paw for hi-fives, loves to “talk,” enjoys face scratches, and absolutely lights up when remembered with a little secret treat . He's a love bug.
Because of his past, Husker does best when his people lead the way — opening doors first or walking ahead of him helps him feel secure. With gentle reassurance and a steady routine, he continues to grow more confident and affectionate. Deep down, Husker is a happy, loving dog who simply needs to know his people are truly there for him â¤ï¸
Husker’s adoption fee includes his neuter, vaccines, deworming, and microchip. He was born in 2022 on one of the reservations we work with and is crate trained.
Husker would thrive in a home in the Santa Fe, Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, White Rock, or Los Alamos area with a patient family who values routine, enjoys daily walks, and will let him slowly become a beloved couch companion. He may enjoy some doggy friends — especially female dogs and calm, friendly, non-reactive males — once comfortable.
If you think Husker might be a good fit for your family, please email desertpawsnm@gmail.com to check availability and start the application process. We would love to introduce you to this beautiful boy and help him finally experience the safety, warmth, and devotion of a forever home.
