Meet the fun-loving Kai. He is a 3-year-old, 65 lb. Husky with the cutest freckles on his face & front legs & the most stunning blue eyes! He is a friendly guy who loves to greet new friends & patrol the neighborhood for squirrels. He is up to date on all vaccinations, neutered, microchipped & house trained. He has also recently learned how to use a doggie door!
We adopted Kai from the shelter in Dec 2022. He had originally been a stray & adopted but was returned 4 months later. His previous owner reported he was stressed by children in the home. We have cats & his experience with them was unknown but his personality won us over & we decided to give him a chance. Unfortunately, after a year of trying to get them comfortable together he still gets too excited by our cats & we are concerned for their safety.
Kai is a high energy pup who loves to play tug, chase frisbees & balls, go on long walks & run! He gets a little anxious when left alone & is very vocal about his emotions. He does resource guard food, toys and valued items so would likely do best as an only pet. An ideal home for Kai would be one with an experienced dog owner, secure fenced backyard (at least 6ft tall), no small children or cats & a parent that is home part or most of the day.
Kai knows how to “sit”, “lay”, & takes treats gently. He has made a lot of progress on leash walking & does best with a long line for more exploring opportunities! He is a very smart boy & like most huskies requires a bit more patience with training but if you have cheese, he is very eager to learn. He is working with a trainer & we’re excited to talk to you about tools for success. We can even recommend a trainer to help with any further goals you may have for him.
This goofy pup is deserving of the perfect furever home. Could it be with you? Apply to adopt Kai today!
