Meet Zeus, king of the Huskies! Zeus is a beautiful 6 year old 65 lb male husky mix (majority husky, a few other gentle breeds) his human is hoping to place him immediately as he unexpectedly has to move right now to assisted living. He is at that perfect age, active, likes to run in the back yard, but snoozes happily (especially bare floors).He is very affectionate, gentle, and loves hugs, ear rubs and massages. He does great in his crate but 3-4 hours is best as the limit. Although he'll want to jump in bed for a few snuggles, he sleeps on the floor. Because he is still vigorous may do best with children bigger than toddlers but unknown and just due to size. Because he is a protective barker for his humans, taking a moment to be introduced to others is important as he may try to jump to lick faces. He has been trained to not pull or jump up, but his human hasn't been able to refresh training recently. Very food motivated/easy to train. Willing to assist with transition expenses
