Nelson is a 2–3-year-old Siberian Husky with a social, outgoing personality and an adventurous spirit. He is playful, affectionate, and loves both people and other dogs. Nelson spent a long time in a shelter environment before entering rescue, and the prolonged confinement began causing kennel-related stress behaviors. Since leaving the shelter, he has done much better with increased activity, enrichment, and social interaction. He has moderate energy for the breed but is still significantly more active than the average dog. Nelson would thrive in a home that enjoys outdoor activities and wants a dog to actively participate in daily life, including hiking, camping, walking, or other adventures. Nelson is crate trained and knows some basic commands, though he will benefit from continued reinforcement and structure in his adoptive home. He is dog social and enjoys playing with other dogs, though his play style can be rough and rowdy at times. He does well with children and other dogs. Compatibility with cats or small animals is currently unknown. Nelson does experience separation anxiety and is currently on medication while we work to determine the best long-term management plan. Because of this, he would do best in a home where he will not regularly be left alone for extended periods. Nelson is looking for an adopter who understands the needs of active, intelligent dogs and is excited to include him as a true member of the family. Nelson is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, on heartworm prevention, and ready for a new home!
