Meet Russ!<br/><br/>Russ is a 2-year-old husky with a goofy grin, a big heart, and a love for adventure. Originally from California, Russ was adopted from the shelter multiple times but kept finding his way back—literally. Shelter staff would find him waiting patiently at the front door! Now safe in BC, he’s searching for a forever home that truly understands his husky spirit. He’s a fun loving boy and has quickly become a shelter favorite. <br/><br/>Personality & Temperament:<br/>- Extremely friendly and outgoing<br/>- Great outdoor adventure partner<br/>- Gets along well with other dogs and people<br/>- Escape artist tendencies and will need supervision in yards or open spaces<br/>- Needs time to decompress after a shelter environment but we think will adapt quickly <br/>- Pulls a bit on leash but improving with ongoing training support <br/><br/>Training:<br/>Crate trained: Yes<br/>Potty trained: Yes<br/>Leash trained: In Progress<br/><br/>Needs:<br/>Russ will thrive in a home that can offer patience, consistency, and lots of love. He’s a great match for someone who enjoys the outdoors and understands the husky breed’s tendency to roam. A secure yard or commitment to leashed walks is essential. While he’s already well-socialized and friendly, his new family should be prepared to give him a bit of time to fully settle in and trust.<br/><br/><br/>Quick Facts:<br/>- Age: 2 years<br/>- Expected size: Medium/Large (approx. 50–60 lbs)<br/>- Gender: Male<br/>- Vaccinations: Up-to-date<br/>- Spay/Neuter: Neutered<br/>- Good with kids: Yes<br/>- Good with dogs: Yes<br/>- Good with cats: Unknown<br/>- Energy level: Medium<br/>- Prey drive: Unknown at this time, but we have not observed a prey drive as of yet but will be monitoring - Food aggression/resource guarding: None observed
