Description
Dog Breed: Siberian Husky. Please contact Mike (mmaheuxgooddogrescue) for more information about this pet. To adopt please fill out an adoption application. Be sure to watch his video! Whiskey is a 6yo male purebred Siberian Husky who is being surrendered by his owner in Memphis who can no longer keep him. Friendly, well-socialized, happy temperament, never meets a stranger! Great with other dogs. Fine with cats and living with 4 cats in his current home. Fine with kids. Medium energy level outside, quiet and well-mannered in the house. Crate trained and housebroken. Obeys basic commands. Obedience trained. Loves to be with his people. Good on a leash, rides great in the car. Healthy and fully vetted, current on shots, neutered, weighs about 45 pounds. AWESOME husky will make a wonderful companion (and jogging partner!) for an active family who loves the breed. Here’s a note from his owner: Whiskey likes being near the action (Velcro boy), loves outside time and walks, chasing cats though very gentle with them, and cuddling like a stuffed animal. Has selective hearing and will not respond if he’s uninterested in something. No problem with other dogs. No food aggression (he will eat like he’s never had food in his life). He will guard freshly bought food bag until it’s stored away, though not aggressive. Loves children! He’s crate trained, he likes the crate small and with solid sides. I’ll find him in it sleeping often. Only locked up when no one is in the house. I jokingly call it “prison” and he knows to go to it when asked. I rescued Whiskey from the streets of Memphis in 2023. He was a very sick stray, riddled with worms and many ailments. Because of that I took a gamble on him and did not turn him in to the shelter, they just would’ve put him down. At that time, he wasn’t fixed, chipped, and very emaciated. No one claimed him. Now he’s as healthy as a horse and incredibly gentle and affectionate. Now almost 3 years in, he’s ready to move on. The goal was never to keep him as a pet. Admittedly, I should have begun this process a year ago. But here we are now. To adopt please fill out an adoption application.

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.
