Sitka Husky & Shepherd Mix Washington, DC

Please contact Kady Hammer (KadyH@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.Handsome boy needs his fur-ever family! SITKA NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!!
Name: Sitka Best Guess for Breed: Husky/Shepherd Mix

Best Guess for Age: 2 years as of March 2024 SEX: male

Approximate Weight: 54lbs

Gets Along With: Other dogs! We have not seen Sitka with children but he can be tested. Sitka is not recommended for a home with cats due to his breed.

Currently Living at: South Carolina shelter - Sitka needs a foster home to make his way to DC!

Special adoption considerations: Sitka is a truly Lucky Dog! He tested positive for Heartworm disease but has already been treated! Heartworm is not contagious to people or other pets, but results from mosquito bites. Heartworm, if left untreated, is life threatening, but after treatment, dogs that were heartworm positive should suffer no significant long-term effects so long as they are kept on a monthly heartworm preventative. We are happy to talk more in depth about heartworm disease and treatment during the adoption counseling process.

Sitka is Looking For: The most important thing you need to know is that adopting Sitka for his looks alone is a bad idea. Huskies are smart and need plenty of mental and physical enrichment - they were bred for all-day activity! If you don't provide them with that enrichment, they WILL make their own in the home and you'll be doing repairs or replacing items. But if you get their needs and meet them, oh, they are just awesome, amazing dogs full of personality.

Sitka is gonna be such a fun companion. He's offering lots of laughs and opportunities for you to stay active in exchange for a home with central air conditioning and humans who appreciate his smarts and keep him challenged. What do you say? Is he the boy you want by your side for all those miles you have to cover before you sleep?
