Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Name: Lobo
Sex: Male
Color: Black & White
Eye Color: Blue
Birthday: 01/31/21
Weight: 55 lbs
Large Dog Friendly: Yes
Small Dog Friendly: Unknown
Cat Friendly: No
Crate Trained: Yes, in crate overnight and while not home. Doesn't whine, bark or scratch.
Housebroken: Yes, is fairly regular, sits and barks by the door or rings the bell on the door.
Energy Level: He does fine if we run, take short or long walks, or go hiking. He's also content hanging around the house and being mellow. If he gets bored he'll bring you a toy or come talk to you.
Reaction to New People: Curious, gives a good sniff, may try to jump up for a closer look but not always.
Kid Friendly: Yes, he's slightly reactive at barriers like a baby gate or in his bed but moreso only if he's surprised. We have four kids 7-15 and they all have friends over and do fine after being educated about large dogs if they don't have experience.
Training: Learns quick. Listens well inside, needs more training outside with distractions. Knows sit, shake, down (lay down), leave it/drop, roll over and plays fetch and tug of war with toys inside.
Grooming Needs: Typical Husky/dog
Fence: Respects baby gates, doesn't know he could jump a 4' fence so does respect them as well.
Solo or Siblings: Will do fine with other dogs. He did great with Charlie (another foster Husky for around 3 months) but sometimes they had different ideas about when to play or rest. Pretty normal stuff. He's been watched by other fosters with dogs who provided good feedback.
From the Foster: Lobo is great, he learns really quick and has made huge strides in all areas and loves to please so he'll work hard at anything. He has some things to work on, mainly pulling on walks (much better with a pinch collar), excited by animals, and other dogs but his mannerisms express he wants to go play. He responds to new training really fast within 2-3 days of working consistently on something. He'd be great for sports. In cool weather he pulls on runs for up to 1.5 miles and then jogged next to me for another 1.5+ miles for 3+ total. I believe he can go further with continued workouts. He can be silly and likes to play including some tug of war, fetch in the house, light wrestling. He's very sweet loves to lay with the kids and be pet. He counter-surfs and is opportunistic if food is left out. He doesn't dig into trash or the pantry stuff though. He's been protective of long-lasting snacks like a raw bone or something in a Kong but has gotten less reactive with these things over time.
Adoption Fee: $50 - Submit an adoption application before Valentines Day and upon approval Lobo will be available at the reduced adoption fee.
All dogs coming into Adopt a Husky Minnesota receive care tailored to their needs, including: Nose-to-tail exam with a partner veterinarian, Vaccinations (Rabies, Distemper, Bordetella), 4DX test to check for heartworm or tick exposure, Fecal Analysis, Heartworm and Flea/Tick Preventative, Spay/Neuter prior to adoption, Microchip, and are evaluated for temperament and trainability.

Step 1 – Application:
Please begin the adoption process by completely filling out our online application. We’d like to get to know you and find out what interests you in Siberian Huskies! We cut no corners when it comes to finding the right owner for each dog, please keep in mind that the total process can take a few weeks to complete. Typically you can expect to hear from an Application Coordinator within 72 hours of completing your application, but this could vary based on our volume. Make sure to check your email, including your junk/spam folder, if we have any questions based on your application we will follow up with the email you provided. Applicants must be 21 years of age.
Step 2 – Reference Checks:
After we review your application, we will begin the reference and vet check process. Difficulty reaching references is the step that delays the process the most, so please make sure to let your references know we will be calling them.
Step 3 – Home Visit:
One of our volunteers will be reaching out to you to schedule a home visit. During this home interview we would like to meet with all members of the household, so please make sure everyone will be home. The home visit is an opportunity for us to help you understand the breed and their specific characteristics, make sure your home is secure and safe for a Siberian Husky, and answer any questions you might have for us about the breed. This will also help us determine which Siberian Husky is a good fit for your family.
Once this step is completed your application, reference checks, and home visit file will be submitted to our Adoption Committee. Typically an Adoption Coordinator will follow up with you within a week of your home visit to provide an update on your status. Please be patient during this process as the volunteer who completes your home visit will need time to document their visit, and our Adoption Committee will need to review your entire application.
Step 4 – Meet the Dogs:
Once you have been approved for adoption you will be able to meet the available foster dogs. All of our dogs are housed in our network of foster homes around Minnesota. A Foster Coordinator will reach out to you to determine which dogs are a fit for your family, and help you schedule meet and greets for those you are interested in. You and your family, including any current pets, must be willing to drive to meet any specific dog you are interested in. If you don’t find the perfect fit right away, we will keep your application active on file.
Step 5 – Completing the Adoption
Once you’ve found the perfect new family member, and their foster home feels the same, we will meet with you to complete the Adoption Contract, and go over the dog’s likes/dislikes, behaviors, and any specific needs. At that time you will be able to bring your new family member home!

More about this rescue
Adopt A Husky Minnesota is a Siberian Husky rescue organization which was formed by a group of hardworking volunteers committed to saving the lives of unwanted dogs and puppies both locally and across the Midwest.
In 2017 we found that our rescue was growing at a rapid rate, both in the number of volunteers signing up as well as the number requests asking for help. We split off from our Sister Rescue, Adopt A Husky, Inc., in Illinois, to form what is known today as Adopt A Husky Minnesota.
Our dream is to educate the general public about this beautiful breed and provide care for the multitude of homeless huskies that have found themselves in the shelter system. We know that animals play a unique and important role in completing families which is why we believe our huskies deserve a second chance to become part of a forever family.
