ALAN

husky mix | neutered male | 12 months old | 45 lbs

Alan 's Story

Alan was found as a stray, lone puppy. No one was looking for him. No one wanted him. It was clear that his previous owner had abandoned him. Due to his extremely human-friendly nature (we cannot stress how friendly he is!), we did not want to see him end up at a high-kill shelter where husky mixes have a harder time getting adopted because they are known for their “high energy”. Alan is really just a pure at heart goofball. He deserves to be with an adopter that understands the responsibilities and shares the joys of having a young and active dog.

Get to Know Alan

Alan is a ball of cuddles that you cannot help falling in love with. He has a super fun-loving and outgoing personality. He loves playing with other dogs and could play all day! When he sees a human, he gets really excited too since he just loves the attention. He would make the perfect companion to an adopter with an active and adventurous lifestyle. Hiking, swimming, running, you name it! Alan is there with you.
