Mel Siberian Husky Mix Bellingham, WA

Meet the ~new and improved~ Mel! Since coming to WHS and being in playgroups and Canine Good Citizen class (from which she graduated with honors), Mel has become a more confident teacher dog and will be helping other dogs in class learn new skills. (Come and watch her work Fridays from 1:00-2:00 pm!) Mel was originally a nervous girl and it took a bit of time for her to trust, but she has continued to gain confidence and manners through working with staff and volunteers! Mel is still shy initially, but LOVES to leans into pets and gaze into the eyes of the people she trusts. Mel loves romping around with her friends in doggy playgroup and going on walks daily, she would do best with someone who enjoys maintaining an active lifestyle and with someone who is home often. She is a typical husky and loves to tell you how she feels in a spunky husky way. If you are looking for an affectionate, sensitive, and gentle girl, Mel might be the one for you!
