Remington - Shepherd and Husky Dog for Adoption in La Grange, Kentucky

Meet Remington, a 5-year-old, 60-pound Husky/Shepherd mix with a heart of pure gold. This sweet, soft-natured girl is the ultimate "velcro dog" who lives to be near her humans and thrives on affection. Remi is exceptionally gentle, calm, patient, and tolerant, making her an incredible fit for a family with kids of all ages.

Remington came back to us through no fault of her own. Adopted before children, her family had no idea their child's allergies would be so intense. Low-to-medium energy by nature, she is mostly a lazy love bug who likes nothing more than snuggling up with her people. She does get the occasional adorable burst of zoomies, especially after coming inside or during a rainstorm. Smart, eager to please, and highly food-motivated, Remi already knows commands like sit, stay, paw, high-five, and "gimme kisses," taking her treats ever so gently when told "easy." She is reliably house-trained, respects house rules (like staying off off-limits furniture), and does not destroy things when left alone.

Remi gets along great with other dogs, and prefers a home without cats. If you are looking for a loyal, intelligent, and deeply affectionate family companion, Remi is ready to bring endless love and sweetness into your life.
