Missy Husky Jefferson, NH

Missy travelled to us all the way from Illinois (along with 19 other kennel mates, and a cat) in 2015 when her owner sadly passed away from cancer. She is 12 years young and tends to be shy, and reserved, around new people which unfortunately has led to her being overlooked by many potential adopters. Once Missy has a chance to get to know you, she is wonderful companion. She enjoys calm settings, a quieter home without young children or rambunctious pets, would be optimal. She gets along well other dogs, and really enjoys getting out for adventures. She may be a senior, but she certainly isn’t sedentary. Missy would be an amazing walking / light hiking partner!

Things To Consider Before You Adopt A Retired Sled Dog:

- Our adoptable sled dogs are used to living in an outdoor, working environment. This means that they will need to be house trained and exposed to "house stimulus" like stairs, cars, vacuums, wood floors etc. Adopting an adult sled dog is similar to welcoming a puppy.

- Our adoptable sled dogs range from medium to high energy. In general they require multiple walks daily and engaging toys when inside the home. A bored/under exercised ?sled dog is a destructive and anxious sled dog!

- Our adoptable sled dogs are trained to run and are therefore a high flight risk. We do require that they be on leash or within a fenced in yard at all times until proper recall training has been received.

- Our adoptable sled dogs have befriended many kitties in their new homes, that being said adopters are instructed to monitor all interactions with small animals as our four-leggers have limited exposure to them while with us and there is no telling how they may react.
