York

York was born at the kennel in July 2015 and is a loving dog looking for a comfortable home to spend his golden years. He would love a family who enjoys going on walks and has a cozy couch for him to relax on. York can be a little shy when you first meet him, but he warms up quickly and becomes a very affectionate companion. He was an amazing sled dog in his younger years!

Ideal Home

York is used to living in an outdoor, working environment. He will need to be house-trained and gradually exposed to household stimuli such as stairs, cars, vacuums, and wood floors. Adopting an adult dog like York is similar to welcoming a puppy. He requires multiple walks daily and engaging toys to prevent boredom and anxiety. As a former sled dog, he has a high flight risk and must be kept on a leash or in a securely fenced yard at all times until reliable recall training is achieved. While he has befriended cats in previous homes, adopters should monitor all interactions with small animals due to limited exposure.
