RIO - SIBERIAN HUSKY (LONG COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Posted Breed: Siberian Husky (long coat). .huskyrescueteam If you have additional questions please email infohuskyrescueteam This is Rio! We rescued Rio from a kill shelter in Georgia. He was a stray so we don't know about his history. But that doesn't matter because this little fella is just the best! The shelter estimated Rio at 2 but he still has the Husky puppy wispy coat so is likely 10-12 months old. He doesn't even seem full grown yet. He's just 43lbs. His coat is so shiny and clean. He has the creamiest blue eyes that pale in comparison to his coat. And those freckles and his crooked ear make him completely irresistible. Enough about his handsome looks - let's talk about his personality. Rio is young and so he has some puppy tendencies. He can be mouthy when he gets excited but he never applies pressure or nips. He loves toys, will sometimes steal things to play with them and is great on a leash. He's mostly house trained. He doesn't yet ask to go out, but once on a routine will wait to go. He is crate trained. He has the SWEETEST voice. It's the best and he is a talker. It's a good woo. Rio likes to play with other dogs. He can be very excitable so any resident dogs will need to match his energy or be tolerant. He has not been exposed to small animals or cats so it's hard to say how he would be. He loves to run in the yard and seems respectful of fences and gates. He's affectionate and will curl in to your legs and lean for pets. He also gives kisses. For a young fella, he's not overly energetic and is fine with one or two good walks a day and some yard time. He seems to crave stimulation over exercise and plays nicely with his toys. He's also a great car rider. Cannot say enough good things about this guy! He'd be a great first time Husky. He'd really like a home with other dogs or someone who will make sure he gets regular canine interaction. Rio is not the type of dog who should be left alone for 8+ hours a day. If that's your schedule, you'll need to consider a dog walker or doggy daycare for this young guy. Rio is neutered, heartworm negative and current on his vaccines. He's located in MD. We do transport within reason for the right home! Apply at .huskyrescueteam/apply ~~Husky Education And Rescue Team is a foster based rescue. Our dogs are in our foster homes all up and down the east coast. We do not have a facility in which you can visit. We find this a huge benefit because we learn our dogs and are able to educate our adopters on what it’s like to have them live in your home. Part of our process, once pre-approved, is to speak with the foster for the dog you’re interested in. If you’re still interested in adopting from our rescue the first step is to complete our adoption application online at .huskyrescueteam/apply If you have additional questions please email infohuskyrescueteam
