ADOPTED |
MUSHOur lovable Mush is a striking beauty. This lanky fellow joined us recently from a local Animal Shelter, after Police Officers found him roaming the neighborhood. After all attempts were made to find Mush's owner, our Shelter contacts asked for our help in finding him a "Forever" home. |

Mush looks like a Husky, but we wouldn't be surprised if he has a tiny bit of German Shepherd in his DNA mix. He is a tall, leggy dog, weighing 48 pounds. Despite the slightly squared jowel that make us think GSD, Mush has the classic Husky stance and appearance, with medium hazel colored eyes. His soft, plush coat is lemon colored with white markings. He is a shedder, and will require regular brushing although probably not the services of a professional groomer. |
| Mush has a delightful personality, and is surprisingly friendly, mild mannered, and easy to handle for any kind of Husky. He doesn't seem to have the aloof quality that we sometimes see in Siberian Huskies. Two years old, he has a playful energetic puppy vibe, and would be an all-around good family dog. Mush is best served by Husky savvy adopters, who understand how to instruct strangers to interact with him. While Mush is generally appreciative of affection, he has shown signs of impatience with the overzealous touch of novice dog folks. |

Mush would thrive in the active home of a single or couple, who can provide the daily activity that he needs to be happy. He is an athletic dog, with a moderate energy level, who requires a couple of vigorous leash walks a day, as well as focused playtime and ongoing obedience training. He would make the ideal running, walking or hiking companion. He has excellent stamina and endurance. He enjoys the company of other dogs, and could easily join a multi-dog home with other well mannered dogs, and he is good-natured enough to tolerate cats with proper supervision. |
| Mush has the ideal temperament to excel in the Canine Good Citizen program. He has done well in his beginning obedience training, and responds well to both treat and praise positive reinforcent training techniques. Adopters should be able to handle him easily at first meeting, and we hope will continue Mush on his path to CGC certification. |  |

Mush has good house manners and is house trained and crate trained. Adopters should expect to troubleshoot the occasional accident that will inevitably occur during his transition to a new home. He is in good health after treatment for intestinal parasites, and is just slightly under weight at 48 pounds, but he is eating well and gaining nicely. His ideal weight would probably be about 55 pounds. Mush has been recently neutered, has been vaccinated for rabies, DHLPPC (distemper, hepatitis, leptospirosis parvo, parainfluenza and coronavirus), and canine flu. He has been boostered as needed. He has had the 4dx test, and is negative for heartworm, lyme, earlichia and anaplasmosis. He has been dewormed.
