Description
Dog Breed: Husky (short coat). Spruce (A143114) is an 8-month-old husky who weighed almost 40 pounds at intake! 08/22/26 This super sweet and affectionate guy is Spruce! Spruce arrived at the shelter via the overnight dropoff kennels with incomplete owner surrender paperwork. Unfortunately, due to no owner info or signature confirming the surrender of Spruce to the shelter, he had to wait nearly a week on a stray wait before being assessed for the adoption program. Now that he has completed his mandatory wait period and has been neutered and cleared by the vet, he is ready to find his new forever home! Spruce was said to do well with humans of all ages, as well as cats and other dogs. Please make sure all introductions are still done in a slow and controlled manner to allow for the best possible outcome. He was said to ride well in the car and to generally mind well. Spruce was described as being gentle, outgoing, friendly and affectionate. He has been so eager to be with people at the shelter, that he tried to get up and join a meeting while still feeling the effects of sedation from his neuter! While we all adore Spruce, we are hoping he can find a great, loving family to call his own! If you think that could be you, 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.
