My husband and I have been housing a dog for two months. He's a male German Shepherd Husky mix, unneutered, and about 8 months old.
When we brought him in, he was so skeletal, so undernourished, with no chip. We've brought him back to a healthy weight, got him rabies vaccinated, and all cleared with a vet.
We are not in a position to take on another dog full-time, however. This breed of dog with our household of four cats and a dog of our own does not allow us to bring him inside, but he's been very content outside. But with winter coming, it's urgent we find a home for him.
As is common with dogs of this breed, he is high energy. He has gotten along great with our dog playing outside. He mouths at you a lot to communicate wanting to play or wanting attention. He's excitable and friendly, though, and with training, will be a great companion for someone looking for a Shepsky.
