Xena's Story

Have you ever thought, "What would it be like to live with a Husky?"<br/><br/>Picture this: you're walking down a busy street, and suddenly you're not just you anymore. You're arm candy to a movie star. Heads turn. Strangers stop mid-sentence. You'll field at least three "Is that a wolf?!" questions before you make it to the corner. Meanwhile, she struts along like she knows exactly how stunning she is- tail curled, ears up, soaking in every admiring glance. That's life with Xena, and she's ready to make you famous by association.<br/><br/>Beyond the star power, Xena is attentive, affectionate, and absolutely loves soaking up attention from her people. True to her breed, she's a strong, focused walker who'd make an excellent adventure buddy. She's pretty vocal, and isn't shy about telling you exactly how she feels.<br/><br/>She's not a fan of confined spaces and does best with the run of a home rather than a crate. In short: a Husky-proof home is required.<br/><br/>Xena will do best in a home that understands resource guarding and can give her structure around mealtimes and high-value items.<br/>She likes her personal space and would do best as a solo pet, or very carefully matched with another calm, similarly-sized dog after a proper introduction. She's not a fan of anyone crowding her turf.<br/><br/>Cats are a hard pass for Xena. She's shown real interest in chasing them and can get snappy when fixated, so a cat-free home is a must.<br/>With her energy and love of the outdoors, a securely fenced yard will help her thrive.<br/><br/>Xena is looking for an experienced, active family who can match her energy, give her plenty of space to be herself, and appreciate her for the bold, beautiful, full Husky Experience she brings.
