My story

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

Striker, an incredible, resilient husky who is ready to find his forever home! At 3 and a half years old, Striker has already overcome tremendous challenges, and yes his spirit shines brighter than ever.

Striker may have faced a tough life before arriving at Austin Pets Alive, but each day here is a new adventure that he embraces with joy. Striker was left tied up by his owner outside without any food or water and in all kinds of weather for most of his life, but despite his past, Striker has not lost his faith in humanity and remains a kind, loving soul who never meets a stranger.

Striker was born with what we think is a mild cerebellar hypoplasia, causing some wobbliness, but that certainly doesn't slow him down. He loves going on walks and running around with his dog friends.

We are all in awe of this incredible dog who puts a smile on the face of every person he meets. His gentle nature and playful spirit are truly inspiring, and he deserves a forever home that will cherish him.

If you're looking for a loyal friend who will fill your life with love and laughter, come meet Striker! He is available for both foster and adoption, and we can't wait for you to see just how beautiful and loving he really is.
