We brought home a new husky today!!! One of my husband's coworkers had adopted this 1 year old dog (then named Avalanche) because he "looked like a wolf" From the city shelter, which has a HUGE kill rate. Three days later, he and his wife decided they wanted a different puppy they saw at the shelter......and brought Havok back to the shelter and dumped him there, claiming Havok had snapped at him and his wife....Being an owner surrender, and the fact that they were told he had snapped at someone, his chances were pretty grim. It took some finagling, but we convinced the shelter to let us adopt him, and so fat, things are great! He is pretty skinny, but he has got along great with the boys s far, and surprisingly is not food aggressive with us (we haven't tested it with the other dogs yet). I will take a few pics and post them later tonight if I don't forget lol.

They really did that? Man... Well good thing you rescued him! Looking forward to pictures! And congratulations on your new boy.

Congrats on the new addition!cant wait to see pictures!

So sad he was dumped off like that, but at least he now as a great forever home with your family

Congrat, I know they your friends I still don't agree with what they did
You better show pictures

Pics!








He's pretty thin, poor guy.

Congrats on the addition! Poor guy was thrown away! Glad you got to save him though! He is handsome just needs some weight!

Do you know how much weight because he does look skinny

Poor boy! He does look SUPER skinny. I'm sure in your care he'll pack on the weight soon enough. Hate to hear when people think they can just throw away a dog. It's so sad. But in this case I know he'll be much better off, and well taken care of! Congrats on the addition.

congrats on saving him.. I am sure you will get him to healthy weight soon.. I Hope things work out with youother pups and him.

Congrats! He has a really sweet face.

Pippa looked about like that when I first got her, but she's finally up to a healthy weight! I'm sure you'll have him looking great in no time!

Thank you for saving him! OMG - can't believe what terrible people those people are, I'm so glad you saved him!

Congrats on saving him, with that story they told, its amazing you save him. Kudos for that. You will get the weight back on in no time. He looks alot like my Sophie in the face, markings are pretty similar

what type of heartless ppl are they? I think those ppl don't deserve a dog at all, ever.
Good you found out and now you have a cute little sweetheart as an addition to your beautiful pack.

After thinking about it overnight, and actually getting to see some of his personality, we have decided to rename him Gage. He has been such a sweetheart so far! No fights with the boys, he is a wicked cuddle bug with me (less so my husband, we think he might be somewhat leery of men) and he wants to play with the boys practically 24/7. And he is fast becoming a huge fan of the backyard lol!

Hes very cute. It made me happy reading this. I had a coworker return a puppy to the shelter after 2 days because it quote " chewed stuff". Its sad people just discard an animal. Glad hes got a good home now

Good on you for taking in such a handsome boy. He's adorable if a little thin. But that can be fixed!! The damage that could've been done because the shelter was told he snapped...you have some awesome powers of negotiation!!!

He will warm up to your hubby, don't worry. Ripley is leery of men as well, but she loves Chris now, and some of the men at the dog park can pet her now. She licked one the other day and we were picking our jaws up off the floor. Some men she will still stay away from, she hid behind me on a walk once, but progress happens! Just give him a few weeks to get used to everything
Good luck with Gage, and good for you for helping.

Just a couple of new pics. He's looking and acting much better!!!







The three amigos!

Awsome transformation. He look healty now, like a real happy dog!
