Story
Hello, my name is Monifah, and I’m looking for a loving new home for my sweet girl, Josie. Josie is a 3-year-old purebred Siberian Husky with a happy, playful, and energetic personality. She is slightly smaller than most huskies and has a shorter coat, so she sheds less than typical for the breed. Josie loves being outdoors and enjoys walks, runs, and trips to the dog park. She does great with other dogs, is very playful, and is fully house-trained. She also knows basic commands such as sit and shake. With a baby on the way and our demanding work schedules, my husband and I are unable to give Josie the time and activity she truly needs. This decision was not easy, but our priority is finding her a home where she can thrive with an active owner who can give her the attention and exercise she deserves.
