My story

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

-About 2 years old
-Neutered Male
-He was a stray in a shelter with limited time left when MUSH rescued him.
-Sokka is currently in a foster home in Upstate South Carolina.

Sokka (Sock-uh) is a very energetic, silly, sweet, and social dog. He loves people and kids and LOVES other dogs. He needs a large dog friend who will run and play with him almost 24/7, and that is okay with being jumped on. Sokka loves to get his toys and bring them to his foster brother to invite him to play!
Sokka is working on his manners, specifically not jumping up on people and addressing mild food aggression. He is crate and house-trained. He is getting used to cats but tends to hyper-fixate on them and wants to play with them. Sokka also struggles with smaller dogs, especially when they bark at him.
He is a typical husky who likes to "talk and sing," is sometimes defiant, is endlessly energetic, and is a bit of an escape artist.
Sokka experienced Hurricane Helene, and he loved it. He would have stayed out in that weather if his foster mom had let him.

More about this rescue

Mush Rescue, a nonprofit organization, is dedicated to the rescue and placement of Siberian Huskies. Based in Metro Atlanta, Mush Rescue was founded in 2008 to help displaced Siberians in the community and surrounding areas.

Mush Rescue is not a shelter with visiting hours. We are comprised of a network of foster homes run entirely by volunteers. Our chapter directors, officers and trustees are also volunteers. What brings us together is our love for Siberians and the desire to help these displaced animals find forever homes.

As a nonprofit, federally tax-exempt 501(c)3 organization, our expenses are funded entirely by adoption fees and donations. We rely on the generosity of others who, like us, understand and admire the complexity of this unique and highly intelligent breed, and who want to help combat the effects of pet overpopulation in our community.

The Siberian Husky is an extremely smart but often misunderstood breed, which is why so many end up in rescue. Their high energy and need for mental and physical stimulation require an owner who is willing to put a great deal of time and effort into their care. Because of this, Siberians are not recommended for the first-time dog owner.
