💖 Best Qualities
We present to you this gorgeous smoky-brown-eyed, long legged lad, Dash, sure to warm the cockles of your heart. He loves life, enjoys canine company of all shapes and sizes, loves his humans dearly, but most of all, loves his sleep! Ranging from a cute curled up donut on cold days, to limbs hanging askew; a bed, mat or floor is fine for this boy's much loved siesta. Dash is a young teenager with a zest and curiosity for life and its wonders, he's adorable and charming and sometimes brings the cheekiness too.

🐾 Obedience Star
Selective husky hearing applies every once in a while but most of the time, he follows along, takes cues, tests boundaries and then turns on his charm to say, "well I wasn't going to really do it" He has 2 modes: the calm one in which he'll walk beside his human lock-in-step, even plop down right beside you when you're pottering about in the kitchen resting his head on your feet (so adorable!) and the other wild one, triggered by excitement, that sees him zooming up and down stairs, skedaddling across the floor, leaping into his bed...best to keep his calm indoors and let him run amok in the backyard or in fenced dog parks.

🚶Walks and Doggy Diplomacy
Dash has graduated from a timid, afraid of everything in the world, only walked after dark when the world was asleep, dog, to a world traveler. Recently he has been on interstate road trips, and enjoys his walks and runs. That is until he spots a child 😀 More on this later.
Very happy and eager to meet all dogs...even the tiniest ones! With the right playmate he can play endlessly. His foster sibling, a senior husky, is quite stern with him and once in a while they get into a heated discussion, but he stops and backs off when told too.

🐕 Chatterbox
Gets very chatty when he either needs to go out, or come in, and needs a human to help. Has a lovely deep throated voice which comes out when he’s asking for something

🌩 Weather Warrior:
Unfazed

👶 Kid-Friendly Potential
This one is a bit of a strange one. Dash loves children, is very curious about them but yet he is afraid of them. Given the choice he will run away from children and hide. But with the right guidance on a leash, he approaches slowly and eventually enjoys their company. In the last 2 months he has improved steadily in this regard and needs a forever home that will continue that trend. He will suit a family with kids only if the grown-ups will consistently guide him, create a lot of positive interactions with children and not allow him to practice flight. He needs the kids to be understanding and respect him and give him space, not chase him around or shower him with love when he is not ready.
When done right Dash’s interaction with children is heart warming, he accepts belly rubs, gives them gentle face licks. He's very gentle with babies and kids and completely safe.

🐱 Cat & Pocket Pets & Small Dogs
Cats and pocket pets not observed but best avoided. Safe with small dogs.

🚗 Road Trip Ready
He is comfortable in the car.

🏠 House TrainingFully house trained, lovingly and clearly calls out when he needs to go. Not a single accident or spray even when he first came to his foster home.

🛁Bath and grooming
No issues at all.

🛌 Sweet Slumber:
For a young dog, it's surprising how much he values his sleep! Just adorable watching him catch his million zzzzzs, you can't help but want to cuddle up with him.

🍗 Foodie's Delight
Very eager, have to remind him to sit and be calm, he listens, but the irrestible pull of food can be seen with his eager feet and adorable eyes looking up at you.

ℹ Extra info
If his humans are out, he spends the time snoozing. Loves playing with and then tearing apart balls especially if they are of the squeaky kind. When he's in an excited mode, he sometimes chews on his bed but a firm "stop" is all he needs to behave. He's a very loving and enthusiastic husky with lots of love to give. It would be awesome if he went into a home with another dog but will be happy alone too, provided his new family would be able to take
him to the dog park to play.
