BEAR - HUSKY / ALASKAN MALAMUTE / MIXED (LONG COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Husky / Alaskan Malamute / Mixed (long coat). Bear (A115003) is an 8-year-old AK Husky x AK Malamute mix who weighed 67.2 pounds on intake (but is a little underweight). 09/11/25 Bear arrived at the shelter as a stray and is now looking for his new home. In his younger years, Bear was a frequent flyer at the shelter and known to be quite the escape artist. He was stated to jump fences and break out of kennels (both plastic and wire). He needs a heavy-duty kennel to keep him contained. It was also noted that he had issues with separation anxiety. He was last at the shelter in 2019 and we understand that a lot can change in that span of time, and we want to give Bear the benefit of the doubt and a chance to find a new home to live out his golden years. It was noted previously that this big boy did not always understand his size and could play a bit too roughly for some other dogs. Please ensure you are making slow, safe, and controlled introductions with new dogs to help set him up for success. We do not know his experience with smaller critters, but based on his breed we think he would do best in a home without smaller animals that he may be tempted to chase. Even though he is 8 years old, he still has a lot of spunk and energy. Bear is looking for a home that can provide daily enrichment and exercise to keep him healthy, happy, and out of trouble. He is a larger dog and most likely would not settle well in an apartment-style living. Bear is a sweet boy hoping to find a home that can fit his needs. If you are interested in meeting Bear, please let us know!
