Desza - Husky Dog for Adoption in Colorado Springs, Colorado

Bow wow wow!

Arrroooo! My name is Desza, and I am a princess. As a princess, I am regal, prancing when I walk, and I only speak my mind when necessary. You will know when I need my next meal, as I need to remind you that I don't want to blow away in the wind. I am playful, adventurous, and incredibly cuddly.

General Socialization Notes:
I am a very sweet girl, incredibly intelligent, quick to learn (with the right treats!) and very goofy. I know all of the basic cues, sit, lay down, stay, and I do a big ole stretch when you ask! I am great on a leash, and I have a good recall.
I do have a bit of resource guarding that has improved greatly. I would still need to work on that.

Does Desza like other animals?
I do get along with other dogs: the exception being senior dogs. I may also do best with male dogs. But being your only dog works too! I have never been around cats, although I do have a high prey drive, so being around small animals may not be the best.

Does Desza like children?
I LOVE children. I am incredibly gentle, and will try to initiate play with them. Older children may be best because of my tendency to resource guard my food and toys.

Favorite Toys:
Stuffed animals are my BABIES. I love my red panda, cuddling with it, tossing it around, and occasionally playing tug of war with it. I like balls, but I am not a fan of rubber toys.

My ideal Forever Home:
I'd love a family that wants to spend time with me. I'd do best as an only dog but could also live with another dog. Older children would be best. A family that loves adventures would make me happy! I can't wait to meet my forever family!
