ADOPT ME ONLINE: https://ophrescue.org/dogs/13900Meet Cato – The Perfect Family Dog with All the Husky Charm! Name: CatoGender: MaleBreed: Husky MixAge: 3 yearsWeight: 80 lbsCurrent Location: Gettysburg, PAAbout Cato Hi! I’m Cato, a 3-year-old Husky mix with a gentle spirit and a big heart for family. At 80 pounds, I’m a strong, affectionate guy with the classic Husky look—striking coloring, soft, thick fur, and eyes that stay attentive to my people and everything around me.Personality I’m a sweet, curious, and playful dog who adores being part of the family. Huskies like me are known for being social, and I’m no exception! I’m calm and friendly, always ready to meet new people or just hang out with my humans. From the toddler who pets my face to the cat who strolls by, I take everything in stride, making me a great fit for any family dynamic. I’m also naturally quiet and don’t bark much—just lots of affection!Energy Level Huskies are known for their energy and love of activity, and I’m no different. I have an energetic side that loves to run, but I’m equally happy to relax and soak up some attention. Whether it’s a walk around the neighborhood or an adventure to the park, I’m game for anything, and I’ve got a loose-leash style that makes walking a breeze. I even have great recall, so I’m ready to come back when called, especially when I’m with my family.Skills and Training I come with the best manners: I’m fully housetrained and can use a doggy door if you have one. I’m crate-trained too, although I don’t mind sleeping outside of the crate if that’s your preference. I know basic commands like “sit,” “down,” and “kennel,” so I’m ready to fit right in. And I’m always polite on a leash—though I may get a little excited if I see a squirrel or bunny!Companionship If you’re looking for a loyal family companion, I’m your perfect match! I’m great with dynamic, affectionate kids and other pets. Huskies like me are known for their loyalty and intelligence, and I’ll show you my affection with lots of gentle attention. I’m very people-oriented, always curious about what you’re up to, and I’m as comfortable in new situations as I am by your side.More Fun Husky Facts Huskies are known for their incredible endurance and intelligence, having been bred for sledding and adventure. Our fur is thick, soft, and perfect for pets—and we have a natural elegance that turns heads! Like a true Husky, I’m attentive and alert, always observing the world around me. My coat is not only beautiful but also easy to maintain with a little brushing. We Huskies are famous for our social, friendly nature, and we form strong bonds with our people, making us fantastic family dogs.Love and Affection With my soft fur, stunning coloring, and love of adventure, I’m ready to be your forever friend. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving, and friendly Husky mix to join your family, look no further! Please note: This dog tested positive for heartworm disease before arriving to the rescue. Heartworm disease is transmitted to a dog through a bite from an infected mosquito producing a positive test in six months. The dog was treated for the disease prior to transport north. Potential adopters will receive detailed information on the disease and their role in completing the recovery process from OPH’s heartworm coordinator. With monthly preventatives, the disease is completely preventable. Read more about heartworm disease here.
