Description
Dog Breed: Husky / Siberian Husky / Mixed (medium coat). Martin (A142416) is a 1-year-old Alaskan Husky that weighed 56lbs at intake! 09/02/26 Martin was surrendered to the shelter because he was just not cut out for the sled dog life and really disliked pulling while in harness. Martin would much prefer the chill life of being a house pet, but he will need some help with house training and working on his manners. Martin is used to living outside, but he is kennel trained and has been brought inside on occasion. He has been known to jump on counters, jump up on people and will sometimes chew on things he shouldn't. His previous owner described him as being very affectionate, but rough when playing. He was said to do well with children and loves to meet new people. Martin was said to play well with female dogs, but it can take him some time to warm up to male dogs. He does have a high prey drive, so a home without cats, small animals or livestock would be preferred. If you are interested in meeting this sweet boy, please let us know!

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.
