Jace Husky Green Bay, WI

Here is an updated bio for Jace

Jace the handsome husky is still on the look out for his forever home!

Young Jace made the trip up to Wisconsin last summer and is now close to 1.5 years old and currently weighs 30 pounds. He came to us from This Is Houston after they were contacted by Harris County Animal Shelter about a sick 7 week old puppy with parvovirus that wasn’t doing well in the shelter environment, and was set to be euthanized. Thankfully, they had a foster ready and willing to take him in and they got him into ER right away. After two blood transfusions and a few days of hospitalization, he was able to be released from the hospital and onto a better life! Unfortunately, once he continued to be in foster care, it was discovered that Jace had some type of previous injury that made his tail paralyzed. With this injury, he is incontinent and wears diapers in the house and needs his back end to be extra clean with a little help from his humans, but that sure doesn’t bother him or slow him down! He currently does not have mobility issues, but his tail does hang down. This adorable pup truly is a fighter!

He is the friendliest little guy and loves people, but he can be hesitant and timid at first around men. Jace loves being around and playing with other dogs and is respectful around them. He is currently being fostered with a smaller senior dog and although he tries to get him to play, he is gentle and patient. There is also a cat in his current foster home! He does want to play with his kitty friends, but listens well when being told “no” and gives them space. Playing with toys is one of his favorite activities, especially if it squeaks! On a nice snowy day, you can find Jace rolling around in the cold stuff or just sitting outside and enjoying the view ?. Like almost any Husky, he loves to be outside in nature. He also really loves walks, especially in the snow! Walks help him burn off some of his energy and are also a great way to help reduce the number of diaper changes he needs.

In true husky fashion, Jace enjoys “talking” and howling to express his feelings. His foster gives him nightly back end baths to keep him clean and happy and he does really well with them! He loves the water and loves when his foster mom fills up a spray bottle and sprays it at him, he will try his best to catch the squirt of water in his mouth ?. He also has an affinity for ice cubes and will play “hockey” with them. This cutie is learning so much and is very smart! He knows many commands including “sit”, “down”, “stay”, “come”, “shake”, “kennel”, “leave it”, and his name! Jace is great in his crate and can stay in there during the day with no issues, but does whine and complain a bit at first. What a champ!

His foster mom describes him as incredibly sweet, mellow, and smart. He will make any family very happy! His ideal home would not have a lot of carpeting as it would be easier to keep clean in case of an accident with his incontinence. Jace is currently in search of a home and needs a family that will cater to his special needs. He sleeps in the kennel with a potty pad over his bed to help keep the bed clean and in the house wears pull-ups.
