King Husky Rochester, NY

KING is just under 2 years old and gorgeous and looks to be a husky mix of some sort and is fully vetted. He has come SO FAR from the very timid and scared dog we met when he first arrived. He loves his neighborhood walks now and wants to meet everyone he comes across! He really benefits from another friendly and confident dog in the home. He's got a lot of puppy energy still and loves to run around and play. He'd love an active home (as in someone who could give him lots of exercise). He sleeps in his crate all night long without a peep. He can be a bit shy towards new people (especially men) and takes a little bit to warm up. But once he does, he will be your new best friend for life!

He is a fence jumper and was returned because his first adopter had a 4’ fence and he was escaping the yard. So he really will need a 5’ or higher fence, or someone willing to take him out on a leash to potty and exercise.

Adoption fee INCLUDES: all vetting to age (including deworming, flea & tick etc), spay/neuter and microchip (if the dog is under 6 months, alter and chip will occur after they're 6 months, covered in full at our clinic or reimbursed partially at a vet of your choosing). If the dog is older than 6 months and not yet altered, we will schedule ASAP (normally within 30 days) at our clinic . We also provide as an incentive a $60 rebate for completion of positive-based training classes. Adoption also includes lifetime support of the rescue.

We do most application processing virtually and dog meets will be individually by appointment with ONLY APPROVED APPLICANTS. We are not a shelter and are completely volunteer foster-based, so there is no central place to come see all of the dogs available.

IMPORTANT NOTES: ** Housetraining with rescues is sometimes a work in progress and even if a dog is 100% in a foster's home, it should be expected there will be an adjustment period as a dog adapts to a new environment. This is even more true if the dog has not by chance had their altering appointment at time of adoption. ** Also, we highly recommend some form of 2-week shutdown and decompression for dogs going to a new home for best results. --> Lastly, breed guesses in rescue are just that (GUESSES!!) 99.9% of the time. We do not do DNA testing and our breed guesses are based on appearance and sometimes other traits, but we know the dog breed guessing game is a fool's errand even for those with LOTS of experience.

PLEASE NOTE: If a dog is listed as Adoptable, he or she is still available at that time. Also, our adoption area is within a several hour radius of us in Rochester, NY (Canada within 3 hours IS allowed, except that young puppies need to be old enough to have gotten their rabies vaccination to cross the border - usually around 16 weeks)
