Story

Meet Sky ☁️🐾 — a 2-year-old pitbull/husky mix with energy for days! This fun-loving girl is looking for an active home that can keep up with her adventurous spirit 💨🐕. Sky will need lots of walks, playtime, and plenty of toys to keep her busy and happy 🎾🦴.

She also isn’t a big fan of vet visits 🩺, and future adopters should be prepared to help her stay calm and comfortable during appointments.

Alexi w/ Shakira *Fee Waived* - See our Video! - In foster

Husky Alaskan Malamute

Male, 4 yrs 1 mo

Springfield, MA

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Why adopt one dog when you can get a pre-assembled, perfectly matched set? Alexi and Shakira are a hilarious duo of bonded husky mixes looking for a new home to call their own. Skills include: excellent conversations, professional cuddling, and advanced architectural engineering (specifically, the operation of L-shaped door handles, which they can open. Be warned, round handles & deadbolts are their only weaknesses.) Other highlights include: 🌲 The Adventure Squad: They are the ultimate trail partners. They love a good outdoor trek! But they're also professional chillers and are happy to play together for a bit and then relax in the house. 🏠 Professional Houseguests: House-trained? Yes. Crate-trained? Absolutely. They’ve been living in a foster home and have mastered the art of being perfect roommates. 💤 Synchronized Snoozers: Don't let the breed fool you—once they get their daily walk in, they have a built-in "off switch." They love to curl up together for epic afternoon naps. 👑 The VIP Lifestyle: Shakira and Alexi are so entirely devoted to each other (and their chosen humans) that they want to be your exclusive crew. They need a home with no other pets and an adult-only environment where they can be the center of your world. They are currently living it up in a foster home, bypassed the stressful shelter environment, and are ready to bring double the love (and double the laughs) to your life. Ready to Adopt?
