BORIS - HUSKY DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Husky. Boris is a sweet-natured, high-energy Husky with a heart as big as his bounce. Rescued in rough shape after a serious dog bite injury, Boris has made a full recovery and is now living every moment with joy and enthusiasm. His foster named him "Boris" — a Russian name meaning “to fight or overcome” — and it fits him perfectly. Even in pain, Boris never lost his spirit or love for life. He’s a classic Husky through and through: friendly, energetic, and a little bit goofy. He adores human attention, will lean into you for scratches, and lives for mealtime, car rides, and playing with dog friends. He enjoys meeting other dogs and loves to play vigorously. He cannot live with cats or other small pets. He also seems unaware of his size, so a home with children under 13 years old is not recommended. Boris adjusted well to his new foster home after he was given some structure. He is only vocal for short periods, so a home with shared walls may be possible. He is not crate trained but does well confined to the kitchen as his "space." Every morning he launches himself into the air with excitement while waiting for breakfast — it's as if his feet are on springs! For his future home, he will require a fenced yard because he is a flight risk. Boris is a joyful, resilient, people-loving Husky who's eager for a fresh start. He needs a home with strong boundaries, daily structure, and lots of love. If you're ready to commit to his training and give him the active, enriching life he deserves, Boris will reward you with loyalty, laughter, and endless affection.
