My story

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

Mavis (A135771) is a 7-year-old AK Husky who most recently weighed 43lbs pounds!

12/26/24 Mavis is back from her foster and ready to find her forever home! While she was staying with her foster it was noted that Mavis may do best in a home without young children, small dogs, cats or pocket pets. Mavis thoroughly enjoys her own time and would much prefer to keep to herself rather than share with other pets in the foster home. Despite having had her left hind leg amputated, Mavis still has plenty of get-up-and-go! She would love a home where she could stay active and go on many adventures with her family. Mavis kept her kennel very clean while staying with her foster and did not have a problem going outside for potty breaks. The foster also noted that Mavis loves going for car rides and having a comfy place to rest at the end of the day. If you are interested in meeting Mavis, please let us know!

10/02/24 This perfect girl is Miss Mavis! Mavis was surrendered to the shelter because she needed emergent medical attention. She had her left hind leg amputated and has a wound being treated on her right front leg from a bullet wound. Even though she has undergone quite a traumatic ordeal her positive attitude has not waivered! Mavis is always happy to greet everyone she sees and has been quite the patient girl during her treatment. We do not know how she was in her last home behavioral wise but at the shelter she has been a good girl. She appears to be housebroken and will potty outside. Mavis seems playful toward her doggy neighbors but possibly a little too interested in smaller critters. She may do best in a home without cats or pocket pets. Please ensure you are making appropriate introductions with any and all new potential friends. She is also quite the puller on the leash. Don’t let her being a tripod fool you, she is ready to go go go! If you are interested in meeting sweet Mavis, please let us know!
