My story

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

Meet Dominic! This 2-year-old male husky/malamute mix was rescued from MCACC’s e-list after spending 4 months at the shelter and suffering from kennel stress. Unfortunately, many dogs suffer from kennel stress due to being secluded, having constant loud noises, and limited ability to release energy after being pent up for months on end in a small, confined area. We’re so glad we were able to get Dominic out of the shelter and safely into a foster home where he can decompress.

Dominic had a little bit of a rocky start in his foster home, but has shown great improvement over time. After about a month his anxiety has drastically improved and he has started to do better with being alone. Dominic loves to be around people. He will seek out pets and belly rubs but is also not overly affectionate. He is selective as to how and where he is pet and will let you know if you do something he doesn’t like. Most of his behaviors as far as not liking being brushed, reactivity towards dogs outside of the home will improve with time, training, and patience. He is currently attending a board and train program and we can’t wait to share an update on his behavior after this is complete!

Dominic will need to feel secure a know that he is finally home once he is placed to really be comfortable, which will take some time and patience. He can be playful with other dogs but has a prey drive so a home with cats would not be suitable. Dominic has been living in a home with both large and small dogs and has done well with them. His foster home also said a home with older children would be ok for him. Crate time is not an issue for Dominic which is great for a husky and one that had been in a shelter.

The ideal home for Dominic is one where the family understands that he needs time to adjust, feel secure, and understand that he won’t be abandoned. He needs a family who is willing to continue to work with him on the training he is receiving. Once he has that he will become an amazing part of the family. If you feel like you can give this boy a chance, then please fill out the online adoption application on our website today.

Additional adoption info

We ensure that our huskies only go to families on a property with a 6ft secure fence, and remain the guardian of the animal for life - if there is ever need for a family to rehome their husky again due to health or any other major concern, we are always willing to take the dog back and find them a new home.

We do not have a physical shelter location just yet, and operate solely out of foster homes. We are planning to begin participating in adoption events in the near future - these will be listed on our website once available!
