Description
Dog Breed: Husky (long coat). HUSKER is sweet, smart, and — true to his Husky nature — wonderfully expressive. He has soulful eyes, a playful voice, and a gentle desire to connect once he feels safe. Husker came from a very difficult situation with someone who was harsh to animals, and he was only surrendered after being seriously injured. When he arrived in our care, he required extensive surgery and a long recovery. Healing his body took time — but earning his trust has taken even longer. Today, Husker is fully healed and does beautifully. He walks and runs without issue and is ready to begin a new chapter with a family who will show him consistency, kindness, and patience. As he settles in, his personality shines: he sometimes lifts his paw for hi-fives, loves to “talk,” enjoys face scratches, and absolutely lights up when remembered with a little secret treat . He's a love bug. Because of his past, Husker does best when his people lead the way — opening doors first or walking ahead of him helps him feel secure. With gentle reassurance and a steady routine, he continues to grow more confident and affectionate. Deep down, Husker is a happy, loving dog who simply needs to know his people are truly there for him ❤️ Husker’s adoption fee includes his neuter, vaccines, deworming, and microchip. He was born in 2022 on one of the reservations we work with and is crate trained. Husker would thrive in a home in the Santa Fe, Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, White Rock, or Los Alamos area with a patient family who values routine, enjoys daily walks, and will let him slowly become a beloved couch companion. He may enjoy some doggy friends — especially female dogs and calm, friendly, non-reactive males — once comfortable. If you think Husker might be a good fit for your family, please email desertpawsnmgmail to check availability and start the application process. We would love to introduce you to this beautiful boy and help him finally experience the safety, warmth, and devotion of a forever home.

Breed overview
Siberian Husky
A.K.A.: Husky, Arctic Husky, Chukcha, Chukchi, Chukchi Sled Dog, Sibe, Sibes, Sled Dog, Snow Dog
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.
