Elaine (Pink) - Siberian Husky and Pit Bull Terrier Dog for Adoption

*PLEASE NOTE, APPLICATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED, BUT NOT REVIEWED UNTIL AFTER JULY 9TH*

Hi there... I might take things a little slower, but I love a little bigger.

I'm looking for a forever family who sees me for exactly who I am—a sweet, gentle girl who just needs a little extra time, patience, and love to shine.

My qualifications include:

Professional snuggler (I don't rush perfection).

Expert at giving soft, soulful puppy eyes.

Champion nap taker.

Gentle spirit with a big heart.

Always trying my best, even when things feel a little tricky.

My start in life wasn't easy. I'm one of six puppies who were surrendered to a shelter before we even opened our eyes. Thankfully, an incredible foster family stepped in and bottle-fed us around the clock, giving us the care and love we needed to grow strong and healthy.

As I grow, I may learn a little differently or a little more slowly than my siblings. Some things take me extra time to understand, but I promise I am trying my very best every single day. With patience, encouragement, and consistency, I continue to make progress at my own pace, and I'm so proud of every little step forward.

A DNA test from one of my siblings showed we are mostly Husky (44%) and Pit Bull (28%), with German Shepherd (7%), a surprising Caucasian Ovcharka (10%), and a few other mystery ingredients. Whatever I'm made of, it came out soft-hearted and full of love.

I enjoy gentle play, cozy naps, and being close to my people. Loud, fast, or overwhelming situations can feel like a lot for me sometimes, but calm voices, routines, and kindness help me feel safe and confident.

My foster home includes other dogs, little humans, and even a cat who keeps a respectful distance while I take everything in at my own pace.

Because I'm still learning, my forever family will need to commit to puppy training classes before adoption. I don't need perfection, I just need someone who will cheer me on as I figure things out.

If you're someone who believes that the best things in life are worth a little extra time, I think I might be your girl. I may move gently through the world, but I will love you with my whole heart.

You can meet me in Person at Petco on July 18th between 11-1 when I am officially 9 weeks old
