Breed: Husky mix?

Sex: Male

Age: 1-2 years approx

Size: Medium

Color: Red and white

Coat: Long-haired

Notes: Hondo is a 1-2 year old fella who only weighs 38 lbs. Hondo needs to gain quite a bit of weight. He does not appear to have had a good life before coming to the shelter judging by his weight and coat condition. He has been very stressed and fearful in a shelter environment. He will need an experienced and patient owner who can help him overcome his fears. A fenced in yard would be ideal for him, but definite leashed walks and potty breaks. Once he is comfortable with you he becomes a lap dog, he really likes chicken flavored treats. Hondo can sit and “spin” when told. He also walks well on leash. He is awaiting dog/cat testing to see how he may do with them. His adoption fee covers for him to be neutered and rabies vaccinated. It must be done and we do follow up to ensure that it has been done.
