Adopt a Husky / Shepherd / Mixed (medium coat)

This is Bowie.  He's a gorgeous 9-12 month old husky mix with a nice cream colored coat and striking eyes. When we rescued him, he was a sad sight.  Mange had taken most of his fur and his zest for life.  Treatment started at the shelter and the care of our dedicated fosters turned things around for him in short order.  While his fur is still coming in, he is full of life again and looking for his forever family.

Bowie is an energetic and loving pup.  He's so affectionate we think he might actually be a new breed, the snuggling husky or "snusky."  He has the typical breed characteristics of a husky.  He loves to run and jump, he has a lot of energy and he can howl with the best of them.  But he's also very affectionate and just loves to snuggle.  He's happy to sleep with you on the bed, in his own bed or on the floor.  He likes to play and can keep himself entertained playing with his toys when he's alone.  Of course he greatly prefers being with his people and other dogs.  He can fuss a bit when he's lonely, but he doesn't show real separation anxiety.  He can calm himself and wait.

He is housebroken and will nudge the door to let you know he needs to go out.  He likes to give kisses and is a little mouthy; he likes to nibble, but he doesn't bite.  He's fast and agile. He would do well with a fenced yard where he can run freely or with an active person who will take him running.  He's bouncy so he might not be ideal for a family with small children as he might knock them over when he's bouncing around.  Bowie is a good eater, but his appetite is naturally moderated.

Bowie is in foster care in NC but can be transported to MD or NJ for an aporoved adopter.

~~The Last Resort is a foster based rescue. Our dogs are in our foster homes all up and down the east coast. We do not have a facility in which you can visit. We find this a huge benefit because we learn our dogs and are able to educate our adopters on what it’s like to have them live in your home. Part of our process, once pre-approved, is to speak with the foster for the dog you’re interested in. If you’re still interested in adopting from our rescue the first step is to complete our adoption application online at www.thelastresortrescue.com/adoptionapplication.htm
