Hey there! Come pet me and play with me and let me explore, but don't let me get too excited because even though I WANT to be a crazy pup, I am in the long process of being treated for heartworms. I came to the SPCA heartworm-positive and still have about a half a month of treatment left to complete, then it is recovery time. THEN I am eligible to be neutered. Yep, I not only had spaghetti in my heart, but I have meatballs too! Very true to my husky heritage, I am independent and want to know what is in it for me when you are training me or working with me. Like why should I poop on the lawn when my kennel is right here? Convince me why potty training is worth it and I'll listen to you, but give me an inch, and I will be like a naughty child that will push any buttons I can find. Once you show me that it is worth my time and effort to do something and that it might even be F-U-N, then I am happy to oblige and even learn tricks. I'm actually quite good on a leash when I'm on a walk, but getting that leash on me can be the tricky part - again, it's the whole benefits-process. So someone who is familiar with husky breeds, knows how to challenge a dog with high intellect, and can stave off doggie boredom without needing to resort to cardio exercise would be ideal for me. I like other dogs but haven't been able to spend a whole lot of time with them lately, so I may need some guidance in learning to socialize better with them. I am not suitable for a home with cats and likely other small animals, since I want to chase them. DOGust is a special month for us shelter dogs, and there is a BIG discount thanks to a donor covering adoption fees for difficult-to-place dogs throughout the month of August, so what you save on my adoption fee can go right toward forming a training plan with a professional trainer for me. How cool is that? I think that would really ensure I find and stay in my forever home! I am currently available for adoption but with special conditions, in that my family would need to sign a contract to promise to continue my heartworm treatment with my vet, and they would agree that the SPCA of Hancock County is responsible for scheduling my neuter appointment.
