Description
Dog Breed: Alaskan Malamute / Husky / Mixed (long coat). Adoption Fee: $150. Meet Ollie! Ollie is a handsome 5-year-old Malamute/Husky mix with a playful spirit and a love for the great outdoors. He was recently returned to our shelter after struggling with some reactivity while on a camping trip, and we're committed to finding him the home where he can truly thrive. Like many dogs, Ollie may find new or overwhelming environments challenging, so he'll do best with a family that understands his needs and is willing to continue building his confidence through positive, consistent training. True to his breed, Ollie loves being outside and would be happiest in a home with a large, securely fenced yard where he has room to explore, play, and burn off energy. He previously lived successfully with two other large breed dogs, so he may do well with the right canine companions after a proper introduction. Ollie is also kennel trained when left unsupervised and knows the routine of home life and yes, he does come with the classic Husky personality, including the famous Husky "talk" and howl that fans of the breed know and love. As a Malamute/Husky mix, Ollie will need regular grooming to keep his beautiful coat healthy and continued mental and physical enrichment to keep him happy. He is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all of his vaccinations, making him ready to start his next adventure. If you're looking for a loyal outdoor companion and have experience with this specific breed, Ollie could be the perfect addition to your family.

Breed overview
Overview:
The Alusky, a captivating hybrid of the Alaskan Malamute and Siberian Husky, originated from the desire to blend the best traits of these powerful Arctic breeds. Physically, they are medium to large dogs, boasting a thick double coat that comes in a variety of colors and often features the striking blue or bi-colored eyes inherited from the Husky, alongside the sturdy build of the Malamute. Temperamentally, Aluskys are known for being intelligent, energetic, and loyal. They thrive on human companionship and require significant exercise and mental stimulation to prevent boredom and destructive behaviors. While generally good with families, their high energy levels and strong prey drive mean they are less suited for apartment living and benefit from a secure yard. Potential owners should be aware of common health concerns like hip and elbow dysplasia and eye conditions, making responsible breeding and regular veterinary check-ups essential for a healthy companion.
