Description
Dog Breed: Siberian Husky. Meet Maverick! Maverick is a husky mix who is looking for his loving forever home. Maverick was abused by his previous owners, who dumped him at a kill shelter before he was pulled by Husky House. Understandably, he has difficulty trusting people in some situations and can resource guard his kennel as well as his food. You would, too, if you never knew when your next meal was coming and had never had a comfy place of your own to sleep! However, he is very friendly outside of his kennel and is super excited to meet new people in the yard or on walks. His ideal family needs to go slow and be patient, while building trust. As Maverick gets to know and trust volunteers who spend time with him, he lets down his guard and realizes he doesn’t have to protect himself - he even lets one of his favorite volunteers sit with him in his kennel and pet him while he’s eating meals! Maverick also loves playing with dogs his size, although he is easily excited and may need some redirection, especially when playing with female dogs.

Overview:
The Siberian Husky is a striking and beloved breed, originating from Northeast Asia where they were bred by the Chukchi people for pulling sleds over long distances in harsh conditions. Physically, they are easily recognizable by their medium size, thick double coat (available in various colors and markings), and often captivating blue or bi-colored eyes. Their temperament is typically friendly, outgoing, and playful, making them generally good with children and other dogs. However, their independent and sometimes stubborn nature, coupled with a strong prey drive, means consistent training and secure containment are essential. While affectionate, their high energy levels and need for significant exercise make them less suitable for sedentary lifestyles or tiny apartments; a house with a securely fenced yard is often preferred. Health-wise, they are generally robust but can be prone to certain conditions like hip and elbow dysplasia and eye problems such as cataracts and progressive retinal atrophy. Overall, a Siberian Husky thrives with active families committed to meeting their exercise and mental stimulation needs.
