Shaggy Husky Jefferson, NH

Meet Shaggy - he is 10 years young, and while he might be "retired", he’s still got it. He’d love a home that can commit to daily walks and occasional hikes. Like his namesake, he tends to be aloof and loves attention (butt scratches and smooches are his favorite). While in general he gets along with other dogs, he does best with female dogs around his size. We'd prefer to place him in a home without small children.

Things To Consider Before Adopting A Retired Sled Dog:

- Our adoptable sleds dog 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.
