I am a cheeky little bugger, hand over the treat pouch or I’ll take it myself!
Autumn and Denali her daughter are our most confident huskies at our shelter. Denali walks well on loose lead and ignores cars and other dogs.
Walkers say: Denali "Wanted to sit sometimes to get treats before walking again”, “Needed encouragement to walk at first but then walked / jogged well and is good with kids”, “Very gentle, calm good dog”, “Timid but gentle nature”, “Easy to walk, doesn’t pull. No issues with cars or other dogs. Loves treats”
Denali have been tested with children and is suitable with kids 12+yo. Our trainer says: "They can be a little nervous of sudden movements and noise so best suited to older children."
Since being with us Autumn and Denali have participated in an outdoor event and coped amazingly well with crowds, loud noises, lots of dogs and moving activities. We are so proud of them. They have been taken to a home environment where there was another husky. Denali gets a little car sick during travel. Denali does best with another husky like Spirit or Maddox or her Mum Denali. She needs a leader.
Denali was rescued from a hoarding situation at the end of 2021. They were living in filth and had to fight for the small amounts of food that were thrown to them. The dogs have had little or no social engagement with humans and knew nothing about a routine, living in a house or walking on lead. She has a fluffy coat that sheds and she weighs 19.5kg.
They are looking for committed family with a garden who understand and have experience with arctic breeds and only leave the dogs unattended for shorter periods.
