They say that a picture is worth a thousand words…and Latte’s “before” photos will do just that. This incredible boy tells a story of true resilience, as he overcame a life of neglect. At 2 years old, our guess is that Latte never knew a single day of love before his arrival to rescue. The loss of fur, the malnutrition, the scabbed up, raw, itchy skin, the skin & bones, the stench, and the intense desire for human attention…they all tell of a brutally painful past that this boy had to endure. And while he cannot communicate the specifics to us, his physical condition told us all we needed to know. Latte needed love. And while his “before” snapshots will break your heart…we are happy to report: Latte is safe in a foster home. He is loved. He is getting care. He is doing SO.MUCH.BETTER!!! AND! He is now ADOPTABLE!
Latte is an insanely sweet and GOOD husky mix boy. He is 2 years old, and weighs-in just under 50lbs. He is still a bit underweight, so is looking to put on a few additional pounds! Latte is looking for a home where he can be the only dog! He was obviously deprived of food before coming to rescue, so has some food security issues around other dogs (which we simply can’t blame him for). So he’d love to be your one & only pup. He is currently being fostered with 3 cats and has no problems with them! However he does need to be kept out of their food and litter area, as otherwise he will clean them out! Latte LOVES attention, and he loves cuddling. He would sit/lay in your lap all day if you let him! He learned to sit for treats very quickly (he’s a smart boy!), and should be quite easy to train using positive reinforcement + plenty of yummy treats. He walks well on a leash, uses a doggie door, and is housebroken (win!). He is still in the late puppy stages, so does tend to jump up in excitement and do some play biting. Because of this, we’d say a home without super young kiddos would likely be best. Making sure that Latte gets plenty of exercise and mental stimulation helps keep his hops + play nibbles to a minimum! He is still learning to play with toys (which is seriously the sweetest thing to see), but currently prefers chews of any sort. A major bonus: he will keep your floors crumb-free! He sleeps in a crate at nighttime, but needs to be coaxed in there a bit. He'd much rather sleep with his person (& be with them ALL the time!). He loves to drink water, but doesn’t like getting wet. He really likes to ride in the car, and has been very good when meeting new people. He just loves attention! Latte’s skin continues to heal [from 2 years of malnutrition], so it still makes him a bit red and itchy. This has improved greatly in just a few weeks, and will continuously improve with a good diet! All in all, he is such a lover, and deserves nothing but love for the rest of his days. If you’re the one who’s able to do that for our boy, please apply + reach out via private message. Just ask for Latte!
