JONAH's Story

Jonah is a sweet Siberian husky/malamute with a big personality and is a favorite among shelter staff and volunteers - exceptionally goofy, playful, sweet, and a total cuddle bug who loves his people. Jonah has spent several months in foster, where he immediately thrived. At home, Jonah is chill, independent, and adaptable. He is house trained, non-destructive, sleeps 10+ hours overnight, and can be left at home for 6- 8+ hours (after proper exercise). He loves to nap almost as much as he loves being with his people. He can be vocal but is not a husky howler, and he has never shown escape tendencies. His favorite activities are walking, visiting the beach, and receiving belly rubs. Jonah responds best to clear behavior and predictability/consistency (in both routine and body language). While new people or confusing behaviors can excite him initially, it doesn’t take too long for him to observe, figure out how this new part of his world works, and go back to his sleepy self. At times, Jonah has spurts of energy and excitement which can be managed since he is very smart, and food motivated. He has already come a long way when it comes to leash-pulling, recall, prey-drive (squirrels, mouse, rabbits) and impulse control, and he’s still making progress. Jonah is truly a one-of-a-kind dog who will brighten anyone’s life. He would do best with patient, husky, or malamute-familiar adopters with an active lifestyle, who can help keep him physically and mentally stimulated as part of the foundation for his training progress as well managing a large, strong dog, and advocating for Jonah’s communication style with new people. Jonah has so much potential and love to give. He is ready for his forever home!
