Description
Dog Breed: Husky (short coat). Bandit (A141752) is a 1-year-old husky mix who weighed almost 60 lbs at intake! 4/25/26 Medical Update: Bandit the tripod had surgery to remove the rest of his amputated leg however you wouldn't know he was missing anything. Due to him already being a tripod prior to the full removal of the leg he has no issues moving around. He is looking for a loving home who understands missing a leg doesn't mean lacking in his ability to give love! 04/18/26 This handsome guy is Bandit! Bandit was brought to the shelter because he needs help with his house manners. Bandit is not a fan of kennels, and he has repeatedly tried to break out of them. It would be best for his next home to invest in an impact kennel, such a Gunnar or Ruffland. It would also be a great idea to consult with a certified trainer on how to best approach training with Bandit. Bandit loves belly rubs and ear scratches. He has lost one foot to a previous injury and had to have it amputated prior to his arrival at the shelter. He does not let this slow him down though. Bandit has no idea that he is a tripod! He is mostly housebroken, and keeping him on a routine will help him master it. He was said to do well with every human and animal he meets. He loves to play with other dogs and cats, and he loves to snuggle with kids. He can be shy around strangers, but he was said to generally do well them. Bandit has been known to chew and dig, and he is young dog with a lot of energy. Providing him with plenty of appropriate chew toys and enrichment can help with these natural dog behaviors. We would also recommend keeping the trash out of his reach, as he has been known to get into it. He was said to do well riding in the car though! If you are interested in meeting Mister Bandit, please give us a call!

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.
