Grooming Needs: Wally has a standard husky coat which will require regular thorough brushing. You should aim for once a week or so, and more when he is blowing his coat, typically twice a year.

Fence: Fence or tie-out will work fine.

Solo or Siblings: Wally would do fine with siblings (preferably female) or as an only dog.

From the Foster: Wally came to AAHMN from animal control after he was found running loose. It doesn't sound like his previous home was a good one, but that didn't bring Wally down. He is the sweetest boy and loves people! Unless he's snoozing he wants to follow you around so he can always be close by. If you let him, he will wiggle his way into your lap to get as close as possible for all the snuggles. Combine that attention with treats and he will never leave your side! This boy is VERY food motivated and makes sure to announce mealtimes for everyone to hear. He has quite a loud bark, so an apartment or similar housing with shared walls would not work for Wally. He is currently living with two fur siblings (one male and one female) and is now getting along pretty well with both of them. It took a couple weeks for him and the male to figure each other out, but they can now go on walks together, play, and nap near each other without issues. We think Wally will make a great addition to his new family and are excited for him to find his forever home. He deserves it!

Medical: Wally tested positive for Lyme disease on 07/19/24. He completed one month of doxycycline as preventative antibiotic treatment. Additional bloodwork indicated no significant issues. No further treatment is needed at this time but he may continue to test positive for Lyme in the future.
