Doggo is an incredibly sweet husky malamute mix. He is happy going for a walk or hike, or just cuddling at home with his family. He likes playing with toys (and you!) and is always up for a snuggle.
Doggo is in good health, but needs medication twice a day, and his former owner is unable to manage the medication and monitoring, due to his own health issues.
He's looking for a forever home to spend his senior years in a loving environment.
It would be helpful if you have Husky experience, he does need brushing and grooming. But he's an easy fellow, he's happy to chew on a bone and let you brush him.
