SAKARI - Husky Dog Available for Adoption in Ironwood, Michigan

This little sweetie (literally, his name means sweet) is SAKARI, a 12 week old male that was surrendered to HOPE with his 4 siblings so they could find good homes. All of his siblings have been adopted or have pending adoptions and we can’t believe he is still waiting! First of all, he is absolutely adorable with his 2 different colored eyes and his ears that touch each other on top of his head. Second, he is a really smart, well behaved little guy (for his age and breed). He knows sit and will run to his kennel and sit for his meals, as well as treats. He is working on crate training and has done amazing – he sleeps in it all night long with no accidents. Overall, he’s getting better with potty training but occasionally still has accidents in the house but not often. He LOVES playing with his foster mom’s dog so it would be nice for him to have a doggy friend in his new home. He likes to chase the cat but it’s just out of curiosity so he could be okay going to a home with cats as well. Small children kind of weird him out so a home with older children would be ideal. SAKARI needs a home that has the time to work on potty training (not pee pads) and that will give him lots of daily excercise and activity. Adopters need to understand that he is a husky mix and will be a high energy breed for many, many years and that puppies/dogs are a lifetime commitment!

The husky breed is renowned for its striking appearance, characterized by piercing eyes and a thick double coat. These medium sized, energetic dogs are known for their friendly and outgoing personalities, making them wonderful companions for active families. Originally bred for sledding and endurance in cold climates, huskies are intelligent and independent, often displaying a strong prey drive. Proper training and regular exercise are crucial to keep these playful and social animals happy and well adjusted.
