Blue is another husky we saved from the e-list at MCACC! He landed here from an incident with an animal control officer when he was being captured as a stray – he mouthed this person as a reaction while scared (did not puncture or bite) and was e-listed as a result. When he meets new people in a setting that is not fearful, he is the happiest, friendliest boy now! He does jump up in excitement and is full of joy.

Blue warmed up quickly very quickly in his foster home – he became so affectionate in such a short time and loves to cuddle with his humans. He’s a bit on the higher energy side and is very playful with other high-energy dogs, engaging in typical rough-housing husky-style play. He’s also talkative, and loves to play fetch with tennis balls, though he will hoard them and can guard toys from other dogs. We recommend being cautious with other dogs around toys with him initially as he adjusts to a new home to avoid any resource guarding as he gets comfortable. He is a bit more dominant with other dogs, so we think he would do best in a home with others that are willing to let him take the lead. We haven’t had him around small dogs or cats.

His fosters are working with him on crate-training, but have said that he isn’t a huge fan so far. Blue has a history of resource guarding food from humans, though his fosters has worked with him a ton on this by holding his bowl in their hands while he eats (this is a great tactic!) while he is separated from other dogs. They say that with this approach for several months they really don’t see much resource guarding from him anymore, but we do want to stress that continuation of training that works is key in adjustment to a new home – he will thrive off anything familiar to his routine! We are recommending a home with no young kids – teens and older would likely be ok – and owners with breed experience are strongly preferred.

Blue is a super outgoing boy with a ton of husky personality. Apply to meet him today!
