Ellie - Husky Dog for Adoption in Chicago, Illinois

Is there anything better than an adult dog? Adult dogs are full of energy, joy, and the ability to keep up on a long hike, but they tend to be easier to work with. Past the puppy mania phase, adult dogs tend to know themselves well, but they're still ready to play, run, walk, swim (depending on the dog of course) and bring energy to your life. Adult dogs still benefit from learning their manners and/or expanding basic training for enrichment purposes. This pet has some medical needs that may exist outside of the regular expected vet care costs. Even though Special Care animals sometimes need advanced medical support, they pay back tenfold in gratitude, sweetness, and cuddles. If you're curious about this particular animal's Special Care status, please ask a staff member or volunteer. Curious about welcoming an adult dog into your home?
