Story
Meet Lucky! Lucky is a male husky who was pulled by Husky House from a kill shelter when he was on the euthanasia list. Lucky is an energetic dog who loves to play! He does have some resource guarding tendencies with food and treats, so he would do best in an adult only home who can help him work on this. Lucky has been reported to do well with dogs and will be introduced to dogs at Husky House once he is more settled in and relaxed. Lucky is also nervous on leash and needs a home with a fenced in yard while he continues to work on leash training. Interested in adopting Lucky?

Story
Meet Halligan! Halligan is a lab mix who was adopted from Husky House as a puppy, but unfortunately his owner passed away and so he is looking for a new loving forever home.  Halligan is friendly with volunteers and knows “sit” and “paw”! Halligan's ideal home is an adult-only household where he can be the only dog. He tends to be fearful of children, making a child-free environment the best fit for him. He has never been tested with cats. Interested in adopting Halligan? Please visit www.huskyhouse.org today to fill out an application.  July 19, 2025, 3:16 pm

Story
Meet Bailey and Charlie! They are both Maltese/Yorkie mixes; Bailey (the lighter colored one) is a female around age 16, and Charlie (the darker colored one) is a male around age 12-13. These two senior pups came to Husky House when their elderly owner unfortunately passed away. Bailey and Charlie are sweet, affectionate dogs who love to be pet, held, and sit in your lap. They are good with people and other dogs; they have never been cat tested, but would likely also do well with cats. Please help these sweet seniors live out their golden years in a loving home!

Story
Meet Quincy! Quincy is a male husky who was found as a stray in Staten Island. His previous owners were found and did not want him back, and it appears they threw him out in the street as they posted they could no longer keep him the day before. Quincy is a loving, energetic husky who loves people and playing with other dogs his size. Quincy becomes anxious at the shelter or when crated, and injured himself due to the stress at the city shelter, which is why he was pulled by Husky House. Previous dog experience required for adoption of Quincy. Interested in adopting Quincy? Please visit www.huskyhouse.org today to fill out an application.September 27, 2025, 8:07 pm

Story
Meet Ruby! Ruby is a petite husky (she weighs just 33lbs) who is looking for her loving forever home. Ruby has luxated patellas on both of her back knees, and her previous owners called 911 to get rid of her one day as they were no longer willing to help with her disability, which led to her being brought to the ACC. Husky House pulled her upon hearing about this, as alumni Ripple and Whopper both had the same condition and did great with surgery. She has gotten surgery on her first knee and has completely healed from the procedure, and Husky House is working with veterinarians to determine if surgery is an option for her other knee. Ruby is a very sweet, affectionate pup who loves people and other dogs. She even used to live with a cat, so she’s cat friendly! Interested in adopting Ruby?
