Pogo - Husky Dog for Adoption in Greensburg, Pennsylvania

Meet Pogo — Three Legs, One Huge Heart
Pogo is a handsome, blue-eyed Husky weighing just 38 pounds. He came to us through animal control after being found on the streets with a shock collar embedded in his neck and only part of one leg remaining. His neck wounds have since healed, and he recently underwent surgery to amputate the damaged leg.
After everything Pogo has endured, it is incredible that none of it has changed his beautiful personality. He is one of the friendliest, happiest, most wonderful dogs you could ever meet. Pogo is a truly gentle soul without a mean bone in his body. He loves adults, children, cats, and other dogs. He is estimated at about 1-2 years old.
Having three legs does not slow Pogo down one bit. He runs, plays, and jumps just like any other dog, and he is ready to enjoy all the adventures and affection he missed before coming into rescue. He is doing well with house training, although his new family should be prepared to continue reinforcing good habits while he adjusts to a new routine.
Like many Huskies, Pogo is intelligent, active, expressive, and not shy about sharing his opinion. He does not enjoy being crated and will demonstrate his impressive Husky howl when placed in one. His adopter will need to work patiently on helping him feel safe when left alone and finding a secure routine that works for everyone.
Pogo deserves a committed family that understands adopting a dog is a lifelong responsibility. He will need daily exercise suited to his abilities, mental stimulation, continued training, proper nutrition, routine veterinary care, grooming, and plenty of time with his people. Because Huskies can be clever escape artists, a secure home, careful supervision, and always being kept safely leashed outside an enclosed area will be important.
Pogo survived unimaginable neglect without losing his love for people or his joy for life. Now he is ready for the safe, devoted forever home he should have had all along. Whoever adopts this remarkable boy will be gaining an incredibly loving companion and a very special best friend.
