Denali: Huggable Husky waiting on forever home

Hi! I'm Denali, a 6 1/2 year old female Husky. My first owner couldn't take care of me any more and then my adopted owner traded me in for a new puppy. Now, here I am, back in the shelter waiting for my forever home. I'm ready to be adopted and can't wait to meet you! (photo by Habersham County Animal Care and Control)

Woof! Hey there, it’s me, Denali, and I’m sort of new here at the shelter, and I’d like to share with you a bit more to share about my journey. You see, my world turned a bit upside down because my previous human, the one who used to scratch behind my ears and take me on walks, couldn’t keep me anymore. It wasn’t their fault; it was something about their health. I didn’t really understand the details, but I could sense the love they had for me. They wanted me to have a better life, where I could get the care and exercise I need. While I do miss my humans, I appreciate that they had my best interest in mind. You can tell when you meet me I was so taken care of and loved.

I had a new family for a short time after that, but they returned me to the shelter after they got a new puppy. So here I am, a 6 1/2 year old, 65 pound ball of Husky love, ready to bring joy and comfort to a new home. My silver and white fur might have a few extra stories to tell now, but my blue eyes are still as bright and eager as ever.

Got Kids? Oh, they’re the best! I absolutely adore them. Their giggles and playfulness light up my world. I’m like a fluffy big sister, always ready for games and cuddles. Patience? Well, that’s my middle name – Denali “Patience” Husky, at your service!

As for those feline friends, well, let’s just say I’m more of a “dogs-only” kind of gal. Cats and I might not be the best of buddies, but I’m all about forming strong connections with my human pals. Besides, huskies are known to prefer cat-free homes.

I do have a “dainty” play style, so I would appreciate a playmate who isn’t rude or pushy. I may have to activate my “momma dog mode” and help them learn boundaries and respect for their elders if they are naughty youngins!

I might not understand everything that’s happened, but I know there’s a special family out there looking for a furry friend to share their love and warmth. If you’re ready for a loving companion who understands the language of tail wags and cozy snuggles, then I’m your girl. Let’s create a new chapter of adventures together!

Oh, and health-wise, I’ve got it covered. I’ve been spayed and fully vetted!  No worries there; I’m fit, healthy, and ready for some serious tail-wagging adventures.

I’d love for you to come to the shelter and meet me. I’m a wonderful girl who would make an excellent companion for someone who loves huskies but not all the husky drama. The shelter people say I’m the un-huskiest husky ever!
