Story
We adopted Cole from the Delaware County animal shelter in January, 2024. He is now 17 months. Neutered and shots up to date. He is house trained. We tried crate training but he managed to escape. He is happy to room free while we are gone which has been up to five hours. He lies by the door waiting for our return. Knock on wood, he has not gotten into trouble while we are out. He loves tug-a-war and will bring you toys to throw but does not always want to release them. Cole is high energy and would benefit from a fenced yard which we do not have. Very reactive on walks but is getting better. He is a quiet husky. Barks when he needs to go out. Rarely barks on walks and has not barked at dogs or critters he sees through the windows. The shelter said he does not get along with cats. We have not tested this. Coles sleeps from 7pm to 6am. He does stay in our bedroom but leaves us alone. Cole is very sweet and well mannered. Our mistake was overestimating our energy levels.

Meet Johnny Knoxville! Small in size, BIG in personality- and yes, he lives up to the name! Johnny Knoxville is a one-of-a-kind Husky-Corgi mix with sky-blue eyes, short legs, and a heart full of sass and playfulness. This little man is a total character, and he’s guaranteed to keep you laughing and on your toes. Johnny is a true people dog — he loves to be in the middle of the action and will happily run, play, and hang out with anyone who’s up for some fun. Whether it’s zoomies in the yard, games of chase, or showing off his speed (which he’s very proud of), Johnny’s energy is as contagious as his charm. When it comes to other dogs, Johnny can be a bit selective. He’d do best in a home with either a dog that can match his spunky, confident energy, or as the solo star of the show. Either way, he’s happiest when he has space to burn off his energy and a human (or two) to shower him with attention. And what's better, Johnny is already neutered and fully available for adoption! All he’s missing is his perfect match: a fun-loving home where he can run, play, and be unapologetically himself. If you’re ready for a little dog with a big attitude and a whole lot of love to give, Johnny Knoxville is ready to meet you!

Miss Naomi. Siberian Husky. Possibly a hybrid. She has piercing hazel-blue eyes and unique facial features/markings. She is spunky and fun. Naomi has a neat personality, knows some commands, Loves snacks and belly rubs. When she connects with you she connects. She has been nothing but gentle and sweet with us at the shelter. Gets super excited when she sees us but can be leery of strangers. She has met other dogs and did well. She also met a cat at the vet and was non reactive (but she was very afraid and stressed at the vet so this may have caused her to be disconnected).Naomi is underweight. We are working on that at the shelter. She was found on 7/3/2023 with No collar, No ID, No Microchip in Westfield Township.Morrow County Dog Shelter, Mt.

Story
year-old, 29lb bundle of energy, always ready to play and learn new things. I'm quite the smarty-pants, you know. I've mastered a few commands already! But don't worry, I know when to mellow out and enjoy a good cuddle. I'm energetic, brave and gentle, always by your side. I love making friends, especially with other dogs, but cats aren't really my thing, but that's okay because I have so much love to give to everyone else! I love to go for walks, runs and any activity that is as active as my energy level. I'm a loyal companion, I'll make you laugh with my funny antics and my sweet nature will melt your heart. Adopting me means gaining a forever friend, running partner, playing until your arm falls off friend, who will love you unconditionally and brighten your days with laughter and love. Come fall in love with me at the Morrow County Dog Shelter, Mt. Gilead, OH or call 419-946-1747 for more info on me. If I’m not the perfect match for you, please share me to help find my forever home!January 6, 2025, 1:00 pm

Story
Mr. Skunk is hoping you'll help him turn his luck around. This handsome guy was brought to us as a "stray" by his owners, and while we aren't sure why they gave him up, Skunk doesn't seem to let it get him down! Skunk is a typical Husky; he is vocal, independent, and beautiful! Skunks enjoys spending time with people, but he is happiest outside where he can sniff and feel the wind in his glorious fur. He appears to be potty trained and does well with other dogs. If you have other animals at home we recommend bringing them in for a meet and greet before taking Skunk home. If you are interested in meeting with Skunk, please submit an adoption form on our website: fairfieldcountydogs.com and we will contact you to arrange a time to visit.

Husky fun facts

Fun Facts:

The Husky's name may be the result of linguistic confusion. It is believed the Eskimos were referred to as "Eskys,"; this abbreviation might have been applied to their dogs, resulting in "Husky." The term "Husky" goes back in written record to 1850.

In 1925, Huskies were responsible for saving the Alaskan city of Nome from a diptheria epidemic. Called the "Serum run," a team of Huskies ran the lifesaving serum to Nome, effectively rescuing the city's inhabitants.

Huskies are a very vocal breed, with a howl that can be heard up to ten miles away!
