JAZZ Husky Mix Phoenix, AZ

Eighteen-month-old Jazz was found as a stray back in May. His finder took him home for a day and noted that he was great with both adults and children. Jazz was then turned in at the county shelter. He is a 48-pound Husky mix. Jazz was adopted out from county for a month, before being returned. His adopters also noted that Jazz is great with both adults and kids, and that he is friends with both cats and dogs. Jazz is an enthusiastic, joyful, and playful young dog that cannot wait to see what game you are interested in playing. Jazz does know sit, but his attention span is very short. His favorite game is chase; if only we all had half his energy to lap the play yard several hundred times a day. Jazz will do best with an experienced dog owner, not only experienced in owning a dog but also with the Husky breed. They are intelligent and somewhat independent and stubborn; they require firm but gentle training on a consistent basis. Huskies thrive on human company and tend to be friendly with adults and children, which translates to not being receptive to being left alone for long periods of time. Huskies were bred to run, and their love of running may overcome their love for their guardians. Exercising their bodies and their minds is a must. Jazz is a super-fun dog, but he has come to Home Fur Good to find a committed family. They need to be ready to play, train, and enjoy life. The adoption fee for Jazz is $400, which is higher than it would be under our normal fee schedule. That is because he is one of our Guardian Angel dogs. Guardian Angel dogs are highly desirable adoptees, and their increased fees are used expressly to help defray costs for our rescues with special needs such as advanced medical treatment or training for behavioral issues, or for those who are with us for unusually long periods of time. In this way the Guardian Angels directly help our other rescues! All adoption fees include spaying/neutering, age-appropriate vaccinations, microchipping, and a free wellness visit at Phoenix Mountain Animal Hospital. Our adoption hours are Thursday-Saturday from 11:00 am-4:00 pm.
