Description
Dog Breed: Siberian Husky (medium coat). Meet Koda! At 10 years old, Koda is a handsome 45-pound red-and-white Siberian Husky who has spent his entire life with the same family. This sweet senior boy is described as loving, friendly, and a wonderful companion. He knows several commands, including sit, stay, rollover, bang, wait, paw, and over, and has previously worked with a professional trainer. Koda has lived with children of all ages, adults, seniors, and other large dogs. He has done well with family dogs and even at boarding school, although he has never been introduced to dog parks or small dogs. He has never been exposed to cats, so a cat-free home would likely be the best fit for him. Koda is crate trained and house-trained, and he has no unwanted behaviors when left alone for reasonable periods. He enjoys being with his people, wants to play with his toys, and will even let you know when he needs to go outside. Koda was surrendered because his family is moving to a home where pets are not allowed. After a lifetime with one family, Koda deserves a loving home where he can enjoy his golden years surrounded by people who will cherish him just as much.

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.
