Story

S'mores is a vibrant energetic happy young Husky. He loves and craves attention hence why I chose that he has special needs. He needs someone that is going to spend a LOT of time with him. He is very loving and cuddly, talks like only a Husky can. He's very playful and good with kids. I have raise S'mores since he was born, and life was great until he hit puberty and ever since he fights with his father. They MUST be separated at all times. After several years of keeping them this way, I have realized that S'mores needs a special family all to himself that way he gets all the attention he deserves. S'mores is house trained, crate trained, and is used to an underground fencing system. He is great with kids. He has a husky prey drive and has issues with his Dad which is why I put that he isn't good with other dogs and cats. I feel wurh the proper time and training he could be as he gets along with his mom just fine and I have no problems with him when we go out in public.

Story

I found the dog in a kennel at a person's house she wasn't being cared for well at all there was feces everywhere and no water or food she was very thin and crying and shaking I spoke with the owner over a few weeks and finally talked her into relinquishing the dog she said she gave the dog very little attention because she was hyper when she would let her out so she wasn't out often it was a very small kennel made for a smaller dog sitting in a small closet with the door shut so she was very hyper I'm sure after letting her out to play a while she was calmed down she's very sweet and extremely smart she puts toys in the tub so she can get a bath she will take u to the tub for the toy and top her nose towards the water repeatedly she deserves to show her intelligence to people and be loved
