Description
Dog Breed: Husky (short coat). Cheezit (A143097) is a 1-year-8-month-old husky mix who weighed over 40 lbs at intake! 08/14/26 This sweet, outgoing girl is Cheezit! Cheezit was brought to the shelter due to no fault of her own. She was described as being outgoing, friendly and affectionate. Miss Cheezit loves to sploot! She is easily excitable and has been known to be vocal at times. Cheezit has been known to jump on people. She was said to do well with children, but please keep her jumping behavior in mind, as some kiddos may not appreciate that or may be knocked over by her. Cheezit was said to be kennel trained and housebroken. She will ring a bell on the door to indicate she needs to go out. Cheezit has been taught to speak and sit. Enrolling her in a basic obedience class with a certified trainer would be a great way to build a relationship and help her with her manners! Cheezit has also been known to dig (very husky of her). Making sure she is getting plenty of exercise and enrichment can help quell this behavior. If you are interested in meeting Miss Cheezit, please give us a call!

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.
