My name is Granite!

I was seen hiding in the canyons near a local university and would jump fences to find food and drink out of pools.  When someone reached out for help, my captors discovered I had been doing so for SIX months.  Upon capture it was discovered I was very young at only a year or so of age.  I had spent half my life fending for myself and fighting off dangers.  Rumor had it someone left me behind when they moved.  Needless to say I didn't understand this new turn and was guarded when caught and no owner came to claim me.  It took a lot of patience and understanding from kind people to break down that outer shell.  However,  I am a pearl emerging from that hard initial oyster shell.  I am extremely food motivated and learning that people don't mean harm.  If you take your time, approach slow and use treats you get to win my heart.  Once in I will hug you and let you lead.  I love dogs and am now teaching others that people are good within my circle.  True to my breed, (there may be a little husky in there) I am vocal and full of play.  I would love someone to help me continue this journey in a home setting with more personalized time and training.  I've come so far with limited exposure and volunteer time in a rescue setting so know the sky is the limit with more one on one.  Could that be you?:

Because of my Flight Risk I cannot be left unattended in a yard, crate training is a must when you are gone, tight grip on the leash is a must on adventures and my new family must be aware of open doors and windows.  NO offleash activities in unfenced areas for life.
