Chloe- Courtesy Post - Pit Bull Terrier and Husky Dog for Adoption in Frederick, Maryland

Meet Chloe!
This beautiful pitsky (pit bull/husky mix) is smart, loyal, and affectionate. Shes got the perfect moderate energy level — snuggly when snuggles are called for, playful when its time to play. She loves hikes but also enjoys chilling with a marrow bone or other long-lasting chew. While a fenced yard would be ideal, she would also be happy a few walks per day.

Chloe does great meeting new people. When our volunteer met her, Chloe was immediately friendly and happily received pets and scritches. She has lived with an older child (aged 1017) and did great. She has not lived with cats, so we dont know how she would do in a home with a cat, but she does have some prey drive, sometimes chasing squirrels and bunnies seen outside. After a slow introduction and acclimation period, Chloe did live with another dog successfully for a year. But she was not interested in the other dog; her current owner feels that she would probably prefer to be an only dog.

Overall, Chloe walks well on a leash, but she does get excited at times and may pull hard —SQUIRREL! If another dog barks at her or seems very excited, Chloe may become reactive herself in response. This is something her mom has been working on with her and they have made progress, but her adopter should expect some continued work on this common issue. Vet visits and nail trims can be a bit stressful for Chloe, understandably. She does better with female vet techs/groomers and may benefit from a little pharmaceutical assistance.

Chloe is 7 years old and weighs 58 lbs. She is spayed and up to date on vaccinations. She is completely housetrained. She can become anxious in a confined space, so crating is not an option for her, but she does fine loose in the home so does not need to be crated.

This sweet girl is losing her home only because of her moms work, school, and housing changes, which are making caring for Chloe difficult and stressful. We (FFOCAS) are helping Chloes mom safely rehome her.
