This one is a pure bred and only a year old. Hub and wife got him, divorced and he was left with mom inlaw. Mom inlaw didnt want him so she took him to the pound. Apparently this particular shelter has no hold. They can kill same day if they want. I cringe to think of huskies being put down like that for no reason.

i agree "most" younger people are likely to move and having lived in a college town its just absolutely SO sad how many animals get rehomed or dropped off at the pound due to not being able to move into a pet friendly housing. i've had nikki since i was 20, but i did not get her from a rescue. she was a rehome i drove 10 hours to get. i seriously doubt any breeder would have given me the light of day. either way, when i moved i ended up buying a house to accommodate my dogs. my dogs come first since they rely on me for everything. either way, i hope that beautiful boy finds a home and the owner stops being unreasonable with that absurd adoption fee.

I got embry a couple months after i turned 18 and will have number 3 before im 21. I take offense ti the young group comments. Were not all like that. I would live on the streets with my dogs before ever getting rid of them.

Also i think its kinda ridiculous that our shelter has a 21yr age limit. Our shelter is a kill shelter and a year and a half ago i tried pulling a nippy young husky male on death row but couldnt because of my age. Thankfully i found a rescue

FYI...the girl with the husky text messaged me to say that her and her ex have decided to keep joint custody with the dog. They will take turns taking care of him and visiting with him. I think the dog is staying with him, and she will be visiting. (She was the one moving who couldn't have him at her new place).

Slightly better ending for the sweet guy. His name is Atticus. I told her to keep my number if she ever needed me. At least I can hope if something ever goes awry I can help her find him a home.
