Spike
#GDR-A-10483
Breed
Husky
Sex
Male
Age
4 Years and 5 Months old
Spike can be kind of a goofball. Like any other Husky, he's smart, sometimes too smart for his own good.
He's happy & likes to play but would also do well in the AC sharing your couch.
When Spike came from a high kill shelter he was heart worm positive but has since been treated & is completely ready for his own home.
He's house & crate trained and walks very nicely on leash. Although Spike hasn't shown any typical Husky escape artist traits however if left alone & bored he would likely find ways to entertain himself.... He also has a dominant personality so a knowledgeable home will be best for Spike, he is not a dog park kinda guy. And most rescue dogs are not great in a dog park, MOSTLY because you cannot know all the different dogs and personalities which can be very hard on a new dog.
We want Spike to find his FURever home (we know you KNOW that a husky has lots of hair and blows coat all the time!!) we are looking for a breed knowledgeable family who will give him love for his ENTIRE LIFE!!
If that is you, apply NOW!!

Something to Consider:
Puppies don't train themselves
If you aren’t willing to train a puppy every single day, don’t get a puppy! It isn’t a one-shot deal. You have to be dedicated. And if you aren’t making progress – find someone who can help. Enroll in a puppy training class or hire a trainer. Most cities across the nation have some sort of availability for this kind of help and at different cost levels that would fit your budget.
Puppies are going to poop a lot and pee even more; chew on everything; bite everyone; scratch people and furniture; steal things; destroy something at some point; pull on the leash; not move at all on the leash; bark; cry; beg for attention; and the list goes on. You’re going to have to walk them, bathe them, pick up everything below waist height, buy new shoes, and most importantly: TRAIN THE PUPPY NOT TO DO THESE THINGS! Ultimately, it is your responsibility to teach your puppy that this behavior is unacceptable.
Puppies turn into dogs...
