We review each application in the order submitted and will contact you within 48 hours  (please check your spam folder for our emails) .   Lucky #9 | 5-6 Month-Old Alaskan Husky | A Sweet, Gentle Soul Finding Her Confidence Meet Lucky, a gorgeous gray and white Husky pup with soulful eyes and a tender, cautious heart. She arrived reserved and uncertain around people, but in her foster home—with steady patience from her humans and the encouragement of a few trusted dog buddies—she’s been steadily coming out of her shell, revealing a growing spark of curiosity and play. Lucky absolutely thrives with other dogs and will need a home with at least one confident canine companion. She adores her foster pack, especially the senior dog she follows everywhere, and she plays beautifully with puppies and small dogs alike. She has also become comfortable around cats, mostly choosing to ignore them after an initial adjustment. Around people, Lucky is still learning that humans can be safe and kind. She allows gentle petting, especially when approached slowly with a calm voice, and she’s showing more trust every day. With consistency and compassion, she’ll continue to grow into a loving, connected companion. She has not yet met children, but her foster believes she would be fine with respectful kids who understand how to interact with dogs. Lucky is almost house trained—her few accidents have been due to human timing, not her—and she settles nicely with a routine. She isn’t currently using a crate, though she has handled alone time well when accompanied by canine friends. Walks can feel a little overwhelming at first, but she settles into a rhythm quickly and does best on a shorter leash. As a young Husky, Lucky has a high energy level and will need daily exercise, enrichment, and structure. She’s happiest running, exploring, playing with other dogs, and “talking” in true Husky fashion when she gets excited. After a good day of activity, she’s content to relax and recharge. Lucky and her sister were surrendered after receiving little early socialization, but she’s already making impressive progress with the right guidance. Her ideal home will have working-breed or Husky experience, a patient approach, and at least one confident, friendly resident dog to help show her the ropes. With time, consistency, and love, this sweet girl will shine. Lucky is an adventurer in the making—smart, sensitive, athletic, and full of potential. She’s looking for a family who sees the beautiful dog she is now and the incredible companion she’ll grow into.   If you and the dog are a good match then we'll connect you with our dog's foster parents to chat more in-depth. If both you and the foster agree that the dog is a good fit then a meet and greet is scheduled. We require applicants' dogs to meet ours to ensure they get along. We'll ask you to read and sign our adoption agreement and pay the adoption fee to complete the adoption when it comes time. Our adoption fees help cover the costs of saving more lives!  A home visit will be scheduled within one week of your new pet going home with you.  The adoption fee for this pet is $450 (includes a $50 refundable puppy training deposit). Our adoption fee covers the following: Spay/neuter Microchip DAPP vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog.  Rabies vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog. Adopters shall be responsible for all vaccinations after adoption. Please fill out an adoption application by clicking  here .
