My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hello, gorgeous humans!
I am named Afina, which means "blueberry" in Romanian. My eyes may be strikingly blue, but my mood is never, ever blue as long as there are smells to smell or games to play. One of the ladies at Safe Haven saved me when I was playing a game of "Frogger" in traffic in front of the Safe Haven thrift store. I am a very confident and active husky mix that was born around 8-11-2021. I love training with my friends at the sanctuary (if they have good enough treats), and I know how to sit, lay down, stand, and turn in a circle! (Both ways, even!) For some reason the people at Safe Haven put a leash on me to go on walks instead of just letting me run around like I want to, but I'm starting to get used to it. I am very excited to meet more new people and do all kinds of fun, active things with my new family.
Very affectionately yours,
Afina

Note from Safe Haven: Afina has lived with other dogs but is always separated eventually due to her domineering behavior. Her leash manners are improving, although they still have plenty of room for improvement. Afina is looking for a home with clear boundaries where she will get lots of exercise and training.
