Description
Dog Breed: Husky / Alaskan Malamute / Mixed (long coat). Lilly (A139053) is a 2-year-old husky mix who weighed nearly 50 lbs at intake! 09/15/26 Lilly is back at the shelter and looking for her right fit. She was said to prefer being an inside doggo and was having issues with the other female dogs in the sled yard. She was said to LOVE male dogs and select females she did better with. It is very important that slow, safe, and controlled introductions are made to set her up for success. Lilly does have a timider demeanor but was said to be very friendly once she warms up to you. She was also said to be more of a laid-back dog and enjoys going on her walks, but was not interested in going at a faster pace. She was also said to be potty-trained (will pace at the door) but does not know her basic commands. Lilly is hoping that she can find the right fit and home that can help her adjust and thrive! If you are interested in meeting Lilly, please let us know! 08/01/26 Miss Lilly was returned to the shelter because she was not adjusting to indoor life very well in her most recent home. Lilly was said to have become destructive, and she needs some help mastering potty training. Lilly does have experience living outside from her previous home, and she does seem comfortable in a sled dog yard with other dogs nearby to keep her company! She can be shy around strangers but she is an absolutely sassy husky once she gets comfortable! She got a full brush out on intake by the care staff, and she had some OPINIONS about it! Give us a call, if you are looking for a sweet, silly girl who just needs a little fine tuning! 07/11/26 This sweet, shy girl is Lilly! Lilly was brought to the shelter because the neighbors kept complaining about the beautiful songs she sings when alone. Lilly is used to having at least one dog buddy around, so when she lost her partner in crime she expressed her sorrow in song form. Miss Lilly has lived both inside and outside on a tie out. She was said to be kennel trained, housebroken and mushing/skijor trained! She was said to generally mind well and to do well with most humans. She can be shy around strangers, and she does not have experience around babies. She loves other dogs, and she is curious about cats and will follow them around. Please make sure any and all introductions are done in a safe and controlled manner, and keep in mind that some cats may not appreciate being shadowed by a 50 pound dog. She loves affection and was described as shy but friendly, affectionate and gentle. Lilly has been known to dig, but she was said to generally mind well and to do well in the car. If you are interested in meeting Miss Lilly, please give the shelter a call!

Breed overview
Overview:
The Alusky, a captivating hybrid of the Alaskan Malamute and Siberian Husky, originated from the desire to blend the best traits of these powerful Arctic breeds. Physically, they are medium to large dogs, boasting a thick double coat that comes in a variety of colors and often features the striking blue or bi-colored eyes inherited from the Husky, alongside the sturdy build of the Malamute. Temperamentally, Aluskys are known for being intelligent, energetic, and loyal. They thrive on human companionship and require significant exercise and mental stimulation to prevent boredom and destructive behaviors. While generally good with families, their high energy levels and strong prey drive mean they are less suited for apartment living and benefit from a secure yard. Potential owners should be aware of common health concerns like hip and elbow dysplasia and eye conditions, making responsible breeding and regular veterinary check-ups essential for a healthy companion.
