Avery

Meet Avery, a 5 year old, 46 pound female full bred Siberian Husky that is quiet, food motivated, and loves activity/exercise, especially with other playful dogs. Her joy comes from intense play with other dogs and running off leash through a stream promptly followed by a big drink of water and a peaceful nap. Avery is a compliment generating bundle of husky fluff that without fail receives a compliment on how cute she is every other day. Avery interacts well with other dogs, understands how to be gentle with smaller or more senior dogs, and respects another dog saying they are not interested. Her interaction with cats/other pets is unknown and does not have experience with small (toddler or younger) kids. Avery knows the basic commands (sit, down, stay, and come) as well as paw (shake), nose (touches her nose to you), and has surprisingly strong off leash recall....for a husky. A fenced yard is necessary if left outside unsupervised, but she is off leash trained and does disengage when called. She seldom jumps onto a person and responds quickly to loving correction. Avery's typical exercise consists of 2-3 one mile (or many more miles) walks a day, weekly excursions such as hiking on weekends, and frequent dog park (or other dog oriented socialization such as daycare). Given adequate exercise, Avery will sleep every other hour she is home. As a non-vocal husky, she will randomly surprise you with a cute, soft reminder it is time for a walk or that she would like to play but does let other dogs know how happy she is to be playing off leash with them. Ironically, Avery is not a fan of cuddling but desperately wants you to sit on the couch so she can lay next to you or have a belly rub. Avery's ideal forever home is with a family/individual that is active outdoors with another dog to match her energy and a yard to sit and watch people or chase squirrels. Avery has not lived with other pets or small children (toddlers or younger) but is highly adaptive when given attention, a schedule, and plenty of exercise. Avery is up to date on vaccinations, monthly heartworm, and flea/tick prevention. Ready to make Avery a permanent part of your family?
