About Magic Mike-0173

Sex: Male

Color: Red and White

Eye Color: Blue eyes

Birthdate: 03/17/18 est

Approximate Weight: 52 lbs

Good With Dogs: Yes. I run and wrestle with my two young foster brothers a lot! There is a grumpy older fellow here that I like to poke at but whenever he growls or yells at me I back off, but I do keep going back to bug him some more!

Good With Cats: Yes

Crate Trained: I am working on kennel acceptance. I do like to protest being in the kennel and I've been known to break out of a few of them in my past. I don't cry the whole time, but off and on enough that I will not be able to live in a home that has close-by neighbors who may hear me. I would do best in a home where my time in a kennel is limited.

Housebroken: I had accidents in my previous home, but I have been watched closely in my foster home and I haven't had any accidents at all!

Energy Level: High

Good With Kids: I am quite bouncy and I like to jump so I shouldn't be around small kids who could get knocked over easily

Training: Sometimes I know sit and down, sometimes I don't! I walk very nicely with a training collar but on a regular collar or leash I really like to pull. I do need to learn some manners like not jumping on people or putting my feet on counters but I am smart and learning all this stuff real fast! Now I only put my feet on the counter when I know my peanut butter snack is up there and it is just so hard to wait for it!!! In one week I already learned that when we get to doors I have to wait for them to be opened, I can't try to open them myself. Sometimes I forget and still try, but my human reminds me I'm not supposed to do that so I sit and wait nicely for her to open the door for me.

Comments: I've been in puppy jail twice and I'm not even 2 years old! The first time I ran away from home and my people didn't come to get me. The second time I was adopted then returned because I came down with Bored Husky Syndrome. I wasn't getting the exercise needed for a young fellow like myself and I would get destructive and have accidents in my home. My foster home has discovered I don't really like to go potty on a leash, I don't go potty as much as the other dogs do when we go for walks. I usually like to wait and go potty in my own yard where I don't have to be on a leash with someone staring at me when I go. I did have to be on a tie out in my previous home so that may be why I decided to potty inside. I should probably be in a house with a fenced in yard so I don't have to be tied up and can run around as much as I want! And my fence needs to be high because I can jump over those short little 4 foot fences. If left alone for more than a few minutes I am more likely to try to escape by either jumping or digging, but I haven't tried to escape my foster home at all. Now that you know my faults, here are some good things about me. I love my people! I love going for walks and I am very polite on my training collar. I sleep real good all night, especially if I am allowed to sleep with my people. I like to snuggle! I like to make friends and play well with my foster brothers, even though they can get pretty rough sometimes (they are huskies too). When foster mom takes me to work I am a very good boy and like to lay by her feet with a bone while she eats her lunch. Oh, and I will do just about ANYTHING for peanut butter!!! I would love to find a home who will take me for regular adventures. A daily walk or run with an occasional long hike thrown in maybe once or twice a week sounds like the best life to me! I could probably even learn to be good at skijoring or bikejoring! Oh and foster mom recently took me to meet these little things called cats, they look like tiny dogs but I didn't really want to mess with them so I just left those little things alone! Foster mom says I could live in a house with kitties!
