Meet Fenris! He came to us from MCACC after being E-Listed for kennel stress, which we can attribute to Fen having typical husky breed energy. He’d had way too much of being in a kennel at the shelter and was really struggling in the environment. When our volunteer first met him, she commented on how playful and happy he was – such an energetic guy who just needs to learn the basics. Once we got Fenris into a foster home, he continued to show us his goofy and lovable personality.

Fenris was beyond excited to make friends with the other dogs in the house. He came on a little strong at first but has been quickly learning cues from the other dogs. Fen knows how to use a doggy door to go to the bathroom, but isn’t very vocal about needing to go outside if the doggy door isn’t available which has led to some accidents. Fenris still has some Puppy-like tendencies like counter surfing, chewing on things that aren’t toys, and jumping on people. He responds well to correction and redirection, and we believe that with dedicated training and consistency, his basic manners will improve greatly. Some of Fen’s favorite ways exercise are a game of fetch or a long walk, but don’t let that take away from his love for a good belly rub or snuggle. Fenris is one of the happiest, friendliest guys who just absolutely loves humans!

Fen would do great in an active home where he has opportunities to be his energetic self. Because he experiences some separation anxiety, and isn’t a fan of his crate, it would also be in Fenris’ best interest to have a family who isn’t gone for long hours during the day. Because of his puppy like behavior, and tendencies to be mouthy, children 7+ would be recommended. A playful younger doggie sibling would certainly make Fenris a very happy boy, but he could also do well as an only dog. He does play on the rougher side, so we would recommend larger dogs, and no cats.  Fill out an application if you think our goofy boy Fen would be a good fit for your home!
