Eska

My story

Eska is an 15-week-old, 22-lb. Malamute-Husky mix who is sweet and spunky! She is an independent, brave, easy-going, and somewhat aloof. And she loves to cuddle on her terms!She loves exploring the yard, watching her humans in the pool, playing with all the toys and joining in puppy wrestling matches—especially if it means a surprise tackle! While she's mild mannered, she is also a little stubborn, sneaky and very clever. The puppies adjusted relatively quickly to their new foster home. Eska is currently pen-trained and 95% potty trained. She’s used to being crated for car rides and goes in and out of open crates at home. She's generally peaceful, but she has found her voice and will use it for the occasional howl. Because of this, she cannot live in a home with shared walls (no apartments/townhomes).She’s playful with other dogs and enjoys the company of dog-savvy kids. She loves the company of her 2 foster siblings--one full size husky and one Eska-sized terrier. Eska would benefit from a calm, confident dog in her forever home to continue modeling good manners, including reducing mouthiness with humans. She does not have experience with cats.Eska is a little escape artist, but does not require a fenced yard as long as she is leashed and supervised in open spaces.If you’re looking for a smart, loving, snow-loving pup to share your adventures (and your shady spots), Eska might just be your perfect match.If you are interested in this dog, fill out an application at this link to get the ball rolling - https://pethavenmn.org/adopt/adoptable-dogs/dog-adoption-application/The adoption fee is $550.
