Husky puppies and dogs in Rochester, Minnesota

Are you the one? Please read my whole bio. Hey there, hoomans of the internet! My name is Pancho, and I would love more than anything to find my forever home. I'm looking for an experienced owner and a specific environment that fits my needs, but I just know that there is someone out there with a heart big enough to take a chance on me! My foster mom says that when I'm with the people I trust, in the safety of my home, I'm gentle, loving, goofy, well-behaved, a great listener, and the biggest snuggle bug. She's a little biased but she says I'm destined to be some lucky person's heart dog. Here's what my ideal home looks like: * Experienced Dog Owner Required: Someone who can read my body language, manage my interactions with other dogs and people, and who understands my quirks and can provide the structure I need. * No Other Dogs or Regular Playdates: I am picky around other dogs and need a family who respects my boundaries. I can get along with some submissive dogs and I love puppies, but I resource guard around other dogs, so I need owners who are attentive and responsible when I'm around other pups. * No Kids: I require a home without children or regular child visitors. * Cats on a Case-by-Case Basis: While I've lived with cats before, I really like to chase and play with kitties and don't always know when to leave them alone, so any knew cat siblings would need to be tested on a case by case basis as I may cause them stress. * Fenced Yard Required: I am reactive towards other dogs when I'm walking on the leash, and I have that classic husky prey drive. Because of this, it's not always possible for me to get all the exercise I need through walks. I need a home with a fenced yard so that I can run and play and have zoomies to help get my energy out. * No Apartments: due to my reactivity towards other dogs, and distrust of strangers, I am not suited for an apartment. I know that I come with a lot of requirements for my new home, but for the right person, I promise I will be worth it!! Here's a bit more about me: * I've Got Skills! I'm potty trained and know lots of commands, and not just the basic boring ones! I love to learn and mom has taught me to roll-over, spin, weave between her legs, "wait" for a treat that's in front of me, and more! I'm also crate-trained, but you don't need to crate me because I am a perfect gentleman and I can be trusted to free roam while my humans are away. Foster mom leaves me for 8-10 hours three days a week and I never get into trouble! * I'm Active: I love outdoor adventures like hikes, jogs, splashing in the water, and going for car rides. "Car" is my favorite word and I get so excited when I hear it! I'd be a great running partner, and I'm your perfect adventure buddy. I'm still working on my short-leash skills - it's really hard not to pull when the rabbits and squirrels in the neighborhood are taunting me! But I love when mom takes me out on my long line to go exploring and sniffvestigate to my heart's content. * I'm Playful and Goofy! I am the biggest goofball and I love, love, LOVE to play with my stuffies! My favorite toy is my rainbow that has lots of little unicorns living inside. I love to take them out and have mom throw them for me. I don't rip my toys or destroy them, I just love to squeak them, toss them around, and snuggle them when I'm sleepy. I have a silly personality that makes everyone laugh, and I will always make your day brighter with my hilarious antics! * I Have Guardian Instincts: I take my role as protector seriously, so I'm best suited for someone who values safety and wants a loyal companion. I would be a great companion for a woman who wants to go on solo walks, hikes and/or runs and feel safe while doing so. * I'm Muzzle-trained: My muzzle is a great tool that my foster mom uses to help keep me and any strange dogs or humans I interact with safe. I'm trained to go for long walks with my muzzle on, so mom can take me places where an off-leash dog might run up to me. Mom also uses my muzzle to introduce me to new people, as I get really nervous when strangers reach their hands towards me and sometimes I'm so afraid I'll snap at them. However, once I decide someone is my friend, the muzzle can come off! I warm up to most women right away, and while I'm more distrustful of men, with some extra time and patience I will come to love them too. I thought my foster grandpa was pretty suss when we first met, but now he's one of my favoritest hoomans ever! I am totally trustworthy around people, once I know they're not going to hurt me and decide they can join my snuggle club. To recap, I thrive with a slow introduction to new people and dogs. My ideal family will cherish my loving nature and help me maintain boundaries with strange dogs and humans and respect my need for a calm and structured environment. And of course provide me with lots of stuffies and a lap that is always open for cuddles! If you're an experienced dog owner who's ready for a loyal, goofy, and loving companion, let's meet! My foster mom says she would adopt me in a heartbeat, but then she wouldn't be able to help more dogs like me down the road. She wants you to know that taking a chance on a dog like me and putting the work in to make me feel at home is one of the most fulfilling things a pawrent can do, and if you take that chance it will change both our lives for the better! I've been waiting almost a year for someone to see my potential...are you the one I've been waiting for?

Meet Echo: The Kindest Husky Mix Puppy! Echo is an adorable male husky mix puppy with a heart of gold. With a gentle spirit and an easygoing nature, he’s truly the kindest companion you could ask for. Currently weighing around 20 lbs, Echo is still growing and is expected to become a larger dog. This playful pup loves engaging with toys and other dogs, although he often prefers to sit back and observe when the action gets too energetic. His laid-back demeanor makes him a joy to be around, and he’s already made great strides in his foster home, mastering commands like “sit” and responding to his name. Echo is a social puppy who thrives on companionship. He’s happiest when he’s close to his people, soaking up all the love and attention. While he’s a little unsure around cats and tends to be cautious, he has shown no signs of aggression, demonstrating his gentle nature.

Meet Edith: The Sweet Husky Mix Puppy! Edith is an adorable female husky mix puppy with a heart full of love and a spirit that’s both vibrant and curious. She’s crate trained and has quickly adapted to her new home, having only had one accident since arriving—an impressive feat for a young pup! This little sweetheart is a true toy lover and enjoys chewing on bones, making playtime one of her favorite activities. Edith is dog-friendly and has shown she’s great with kids, making her an excellent addition to any family. She’s also met a cat—her initial barking was more out of confusion than anything else, and with time, we believe she’d adjust well to feline companions. Despite her puppy energy, Edith has a surprisingly chill demeanor. While she loves to play, she also enjoys lounging around the house and soaking up the comfort of her surroundings. Unlike many husky mixes, she isn’t overly vocal; she may bark a bit at night in her kennel but has shown no signs of excessive howling or barking. Once she warms up, Edith becomes extremely cuddly and affectionate. She’s still learning to embrace love, but she adores belly rubs and ear scratches, making her moments of affection all the more special. One quirky aspect of her personality is her apprehension around cars; she tends to avoid getting in but is perfectly fine once she’s settled inside. Edith is affectionate, observant, silly, and curious, often following her foster family’s dogs around like a little shadow. She would thrive in a home with another dog who can help guide her as she continues to learn and grow. If you’re looking for a sweet, loving puppy to brighten your life, Edith is ready to bring joy and cuddles into your home! Adopt Edith at: https://tailsofhopewi.org/adoptable-animals-2

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Volunteer fave in the house! Bram arrived at the shelter on Sept. 29th, after he went unclaimed at the city pound. He's a happy and energetic husky mix with icy blue eyes. We do think he's mixed with some type of herding breed. He's friendly and ready for action at all times. He's also very loving. His size is in the medium range and he's most likely 1 to 2 years old. He has been vet checked, neutered, and chipped. His fee is $150. We're hoping to find Bram a home that has some experience with husky types. They are notorious clowns who love to run! Bram does require basic obedience training and a lot of regular exercise to keep him settled. He loves to play and be with people. He has a tendency to be strong willed so he needs an experienced owner who is ready and willing to work with this. Cats are most likely a no for him. An adult only home would be best and a fenced yard would be perfection. He could do well with a well mannered dog of similar size.
