Story
Currently located at our Chrisney, IN location Meet Meshy — a gorgeous Husky mix with a heart as big as her puppy paws! This sweet girl came into our care as a stray and is approximately 7 months old. While we don’t know much about her past, we do know her future is bright. Meshy is a total cuddle bug who absolutely loves being close to her people. For a young Husky mix, she has that perfect blend of playful puppy energy and snuggly sweetness. She enjoys attention, affection, and would happily curl up next to you after a little playtime. Don’t be surprised if she tries to climb right into your lap — she hasn’t quite figured out how big she’s getting! Meshy would thrive in a foster home where she can continue learning routines, building confidence, and getting all the love she deserves. At her age, she’s ready to soak up training and guidance like a sponge. If you’re ready to open your home to a cuddly, loving girl who just wants to be someone’s best friend, Meshy is waiting for you. Apply to foster at ITVrescue.org. All of our dogs are examined by a veterinarian, given age-appropriate vaccinations, dewormed, microchipped, spayed or neutered, heartworm tested and treated, if necessary. ##2670712##
