Story
Meet Woody! This 3-year-old Alaskan Husky truly is the total package; friendly, confident, and ready for whatever life throws at him. He gets along great with dogs, cats, children, strangers, making him an easy fit for different households. He has a passion for adventure but also knows how to settle down when it's time to relax. He enjoys walks, hiking, camping, and days spent exploring. As if Woody needs any more perks, he is also off-leash trained with a reliable recall and is crate trained. Since he is confident and well-adjusted, he isn't bothered by everyday noises or unexpected encounters (force dryer, drills, kids yelling/laughing, etc.). Woody just enjoys being part of your life. Unlike many huskies, Woody is surprisingly quiet. While he may occasionally share his thoughts, he doesn't do the classic husky yell/scream about 98% of the time, making him an excellent companion for people who work from home. Woody would thrive with an active family, couple, or single person who enjoys getting outdoors. He has successfully lived in multi-dog households with both male and female dogs and has also done well with cats and children. If you're looking for a loyal boy who also excels at cuddles, Woody may be your match.
