Husky and Labrador Retriever Dogs Available for Adoption in Minnetrista, Minnesota

Sleet is a happy, outgoing Lab, Husky and Beagle mix born in rescue on March 14. From day one, he has been cherished and loved. He is a funny guy! One of his favorite moves is a play bow, then his rips off running across the yard. He's cuddly, loving and very sweet.

In his foster home, Sleet has been exposed to cats, kids, and other dogs. He’s been on adventures in the car and met lots of different people. He crates nicely, and with a later evening potty break, he sleeps through the night in the crate! He has a head start on potty training and loves to come running full tilt when called. He is ready to find a home that wants to incorporate him into everything they do.

Sleet currently weighs about 14# and will be the perfect size for accompanying his people everywhere. He wants to take obedience classes to learn nice manners. He needs to learn all things puppy: walking nicely on leash, seeing new sights and sounds, and experiencing the world. Ongoing socialization will ensure he can lead the life he was meant to.

The best fit for Sleet is an active family who sees a dog as a 4-legged family member. They are patient and love to laugh, because with Sleet around, they definitely will! They can provide potty breaks every 2-3 hours at his young age. He could live with a canine sibling or as an only pup with an engaged family. He would love a fenced yard for safe play and exploration and is also suited for a home with a history of keeping dogs safe on leash.

Children old enough to understand how to redirect his puppy teeth are a good fit.
Sleet can’t wait to meet his forever family and dive right into his new, exciting life!
