Description
Dog Breed: Siberian Husky (medium coat). This most handsome of handsome fellas is RUFUS! Rufus is a 4 year old male Siberian Husky who is in need of a happily ever after. This boy currently weighs in at about 66 pounds, but truth be told, would be better at around 56 pounds (shhhhh, do NOT tell him we wrote that!). Rufus is house trained (always take this with a grain of salt, sometimes accidents happen in new homes!), crate trained, great with kids (even small ones), good with other dogs (he lived with his sister and a couple of others for good measure), and has house manners...for the most part. Like, as much as any husky has house manners (if you know you know!). Okay - house manners more often than not! He is outgoing and friendly, isn't sure what a 'stranger' is, and pretty jolly over all! Rufus is an active husky boy and is looking for an active 'husky' home. While breed experience is a bonus, he definitely needs a dog savvy home. As a general rule, huskies do not make great dogs for first time dog owners, and knowledge of this breed is a MUST regardless. Do your research! He will need plenty of exercise and would be best with a securely fenced in yard. Though even WITH a fenced yard, his new people must be dedicated to exercising him through play, walks, hikes, classes, etc. There is a reason they utilize these dogs to pull sleds - they are built for just that, and pretty darn good at it too! Rufus ABSOLUTELY WITHOUT EXCEPTION will not be placed in a home with indoor or outdoor cats. He is NOT good with cats and we will NOT put him in that position for all the money in the world. He must be in a completely cat free home.

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.
