Andy's Story

Meet Andy,<br/><br/>Andy is a sweet, goofy husky puppy who is down for a good floor nap after he's had his exercise, and he'll be sure to remind you when he needs that exercise with a little love nibble on your leg. He's calmest when he's near his people and will happily hang out around you without being velcro. He has a fun, vocal personality during play, but he's still learning that play doesn't include nipping.<br/><br/>He's very much a puppy and is learning everything from scratch, so he'll need a home that's ready for that stage.<br/><br/>Andy has a slightly sensitive, thoughtful temperament, especially with new challenges like going down stairs. He sometimes likes to "think about it" before following through and is very treat-motivated. Like many huskies, he appreciates knowing what's in it for him. With consistency, he continues to build confidence.<br/><br/>He has a medium-to-high energy level and will need consistent daily exercise and mental stimulation as he grows. Walks, training, and enrichment will be important, along with a balanced routine that includes rest. If you're considering Andy, it's important to think about what that exercise will look like year-round, including winter, which he loves.<br/><br/>Andy is smart and trainable and responds well to calm, positive, consistent guidance (and treats). He's working on sit (pretty solid), down (improving), heel (does well with consistent reinforcement), and come (in progress). He's also very enthusiastic about mealtime and is learning to sit and settle before eating.<br/><br/>Crate training is still a work in progress. Andy can be vocal when settling and may take some time to calm down, though he is improving. When given the option, he will often choose to nap in his crate on his own with the door open.<br/><br/>Potty training is also in progress. He does best with a structured schedule and close supervision and does not yet consistently signal when he needs to go out.<br/><br/>Like many puppies his age, Andy is mouthy and can bite during play, including grabbing pants or legs. This is typical puppy behavior but will require consistent redirection and supervision, especially around children.<br/><br/>Andy is very curious about cats and wants to engage and play. He has been corrected by a cat and continues to show interest. He is not aggressive, but he does not yet understand boundaries and will need slow introductions and supervision in a home with cats.<br/><br/>He can go up stairs without any problem and has learned to go down short staircases (three steps or fewer). He is still uncomfortable with longer staircases and may need to be carried for now. This appears to be a confidence issue and should improve with patience and practice.<br/><br/>Andy also has a small quirk where his eyes may flick briefly when he's focusing upward - usually just a couple quick movements before he locks in. This has been consistent since he arrived, has not worsened, and has been evaluated by veterinarians. It does not affect his balance or movement.<br/><br/>Andy will do best in a home that is prepared for the reality of life with a Husky - one with the time, patience, and consistency to continue his training and make sure he gets the physical and mental activity his breed needs. <br/><br/><br/>All CSHS pups are spayed/neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, 4DX negative (if older than 6 months), dewormed and microchipped.<br/><br/>To meet this sweet pup, fill out an application today!<br/>https://www.carverscotths.org/

Carver-Scott Humane Society's Adoption Policy
At the Carver Scott Humane Society, we follow an Adopter's Welcome philosophy. This means that instead of an overwhelming application process, home visits, and hoop jumping, we take a conversational approach to our adoptions. Our goal is to make adoptions possible and help you be a successful pet parent! Once an application is submitted, we take applications as "first-come, first-considered." While this does not guarantee that the first applicant will adopt the animal of their choice, it does guarantee that we will process the application all the way through before moving on to the next application in line. If you see an animal you are interested in, please apply as soon as possible! This does not obligate you to the animal in case you change your mind, but may assist in securing your place in line for that animal.
