WES (COURTESY POST) - HUSKY / MIXED (LONG COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Husky / Mixed (long coat). **This is a courtesy post. Wes is NOT a YCSPCA dog. All adoption interest will be forwarded to his caretakers.** Meet Wes! Wes is a friendly, goofy, and energetic husky mix who's ready to find his fur-ever home! Wes is approximately 3-5 years old, and he is neutered and fully vaccinated. He loves people and will happily sit for pets and belly rubs. He loves to play enthusiastically with other dogs and adores stuffed toys, balls, and sticks. He loves to walk, and he will do a happy dance when you show him the leash. Wes came to us as a stray dog wandering the neighborhood, looking for any handouts he could get. He was very thin, covered with fleas, and needed a good brushing. To our delight, he is gaining weight, and his coat is filling out beautifully. Wes currently weighs 42lbs, and will likely fill out to be around 50-55lbs when at a healthy weight. When Wes is not playing, he is content to lie down quietly somewhere near you and make sure you give him some occasional pets. He does not show any signs of separation anxiety when we head off to work, and for the most part stays out of trouble while we're away. He has become best friends with the lab on the other side of the fence, and they both attempt to occasionally work together to have their own play dates. Wes needs a loving home with or without other dogs. With a little training, he will be a wonderful walking companion, couch buddy, and anywhere explorer. He is very treat-motivated, and learns quickly, though he hasn't had much formal training yet. He has learned "sit" and "down" very quickly. Important things to know about Wes: - Size/weight: ~42lbs (still a little underweight) - Temperament: playful, affectionate, energetic, and goofy - Training: limited, but a quick learner and food-motivated - Housetrained, but may need time to adjust to a new, stable environment - Best in a cat-free household (prey drive/interest in cats) - Neutered and up-to-date with vaccinations Wes's ideal adopter is an active family that can provide regular exercise, consistent training, and time to settle him in.
