Story
My daughter got this dog as a puppy so he was raised thus far with 3 kids ages 4-6-10 and a Senior Dog. No exposure to cats. He is almost 2 yrs old. She was too nice to handle him and had no idea about Husky behaviors. He does not like to be alone and will escape from the house if left alone too long. He catches squirrels and chip monks on a regular basis. He is gorgeous. He has a lot of energy. I took him in in hopes of keeping him but he truly cannot be left alone without breaking out and my works hours leave me no choice but to rehome him. I cannot afford day care every day. I have been running with him so he definitely an active home and I think he would benefit from not being the only dog. He is loving and calm and loves tummy rubs. He has had behavior training and is doing very well with commands and does great leash walking too.

Story
Meet Nathan!! Nathan and Dan came into the shelter together. They were both strays and have just waited to find forever homes. Well that has not happened for either dog, because they are just a plain black dog. Nathan is a lover and active young boy. He will make an active family very happy. Nathan enjoys running around the playground with the other dogs. He gets so excited to be out and about. Nathan will make a fantastic hiking partner and will enjoy exploring the world with you. Nathan loves to jump up on you and give hugs. We been working with him on this, but he will need some basic obedience classes as he is still young to learn his basic commands and manners. Nathan loves to stay right by your side, so we know he will do great in classes. He is a smart cookie. We recommend a fenced yard for Nathan, so he can run around and burn his energy off on days you can't go for long hikes or walks. Nathan is a loving boy who is just a plain typical black dog. We saw more in him than just that. We want to find him his forever family, where he will have fun and be able to go on lots of exploring with you. Apply for Nathan today!! He is ready to take on the world with you.
