Story
Rocky is a healthy siberian husky. He is 11 months currently DOB 11/17/2022. He is neutered , currently has health insurance, is up to date with vaccines . Takes Simpartia trio every month for fleece , ticks and heart worm. They did a dna testing to check for pureness and any health conditions everything came back normal, I have proof of everything. He is a very lovely and sweet boy. Unfortunately one of my kids has a compromised immune system , and due to his excessive shedding it has affected his health . Doctor recommended we had to get rid of any pets at home. This has been heartbreaking but overall our children go first. I’ve payed over 1200 for him. I’ll be giving him with crate and toys.
