Seasoned Husky lovers will swoon over Zuko’s good looks. He is one of the most beautiful dogs we've had in some time, with a full, thick, and lush Husky double coat in black, white, and gray. His big blue eyes seem to twinkle with impending impish mischief. Zuko arrived at our Connecticut Rescue after spending time at a New York City shelter. Animal Control Officers reported that Zuko had been confiscated when his owner was arrested. He was understandably upset when he entered the city shelter and was quickly earmarked for euthanasia. Shelter contacts advocated tirelessly for Zuko, and as soon as he appeared on our radar, he was transferred to our Connecticut Rescue. Zuko has really come into his own here and has become one of our favorites. At five years old, Zuko is a formidable adult Siberian Husky who has impressed everyone with his good looks and grand presence. We love our Northern Breeds, and Zuko is one of a kind.
Ideal Home
Anyone interested in sharing their home with a Husky must bring their A game to the table. Zuko needs a savvy handler to maintain his equilibrium. He would do well in an adult home of an experienced Northern Breed enthusiast who has the time to make him a priority and has the active lifestyle to keep him engaged. Zuko is not the kind of dog who will be happy relegated to the backyard; he loves attention and adventure.
Ongoing Health
Zuko is in great health. He has been neutered and fully treated for Heartworm. He has received routine vaccinations and health screenings.
Training & Support
Exercise and discipline, as well as ongoing obedience training, should be part of his life, along with lots of action and human contact. He is a typical Husky, part jokester and part athlete. Zuko has adapted well to foster care and has good house manners. He is housetrained and crate trained, although adopters should expect some accidents as he transitions to a new life. He has a bold temperament and a vibrant personality that would compliment the vibe of a calm, but assertive individual who can take command of the leash and provide the leadership and focused obedience training that will give him purpose and pleasure in life.
