Description
Dog Breed: Husky (long coat). **MEET ALFIE** Alfie is a sweet, well-behaved, and adorable 3-year-old miniature Husky. Just three weeks ago, Alfie was almost euthanized. While we were urgently searching for fosters for several wonderful large dogs, five sadly lost their lives before we could find them homes. Our foster, Kristine, in Lake Stevens, was determined not to let Alfie be one of them. She shared his story online and in local groups. Lesa then stepped in, and together we saved Alfie just in time. Lesa also helped by transporting Alfie and four other rescued dogs from Lacey to Arlington. Alfie has been resting, getting plenty of love and exercise from his foster family, and is now ready for his forever home. Here’s what Lesa has to say about Alfie: Alfie is playful and cuddly, and he loves going for walks. He does great on a leash. Alfie gets along well with confident, dog-savvy cats after he has had a chance to meet them. If a cat runs, he will chase, which is typical for Huskies. He also gets along well with our dog and enjoys having a playmate, but he can be happy as an only dog as long as he gets plenty of exercise. Huskies need to run and play to stay happy. Alfie needs a fenced yard at least six feet tall, with enough space for him to play and take potty breaks. He would do best with active adopters who enjoy going on adventures with their dog, since Alfie is an energetic five-year-old. Alfie is waiting on his neuter appt. He is current on his vaccines. He is healthy, happy, and enjoying life. If you would like to meet or adopt Alfie, who is currently in Lake Stevens, WA, please fill out an adoption form at .smallpupsrescue. We will contact you within 24 business hours to set up a phone interview. Alfie has a $450 adoption fee. All fees are recycled to rescue more dogs

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.
