Story
Fusilli ACCT-A-266745 is a 10-month-old male who came in as an owner surrender due to not being able to afford them on 11/7. Owner noted that he “is mostly housebroken and high energy. He is good with other dogs!” Fusilli has been petrified in shelter so far, and while he has allowed all handling, he seems to be far more tolerant than desiring to willingly engage. This frightened boy is still getting his bearings, and could certainly use a less overstimulating environment to help her do so. He has been exceptionally friendly with dogs though, and his body language loosens up when around his pup friends! If you happen to have the time, space, and place in your heart for a husky who needs some help, Fusilli could be the guy for you!

BEHAVIORAL:
Per staff on 11/10:
“Kennel Presentation: Sitting in the back side of the kennel when I approached. Tossed a treat in and it went close enough to her that she ate it.
Leash Skills: Closed the guillotine and went to the back side. Body was pressed up against the door and then she pancaked. I was easily able to leash. Pancaking and darting on the leash.
Sociability: Moved away did don't solicit attention. Tolerant, laid down and froze when placing a collar on.
