Huskies are the life of the party! They're super friendly, very silly, and love to 'talk' to you with howls and woofs. They have TONS of energy and love to be part of a team. They're like that friend who never gets tired and always has something to say! 🗣️

These athletes need the best food to keep their motors running! They don't actually need as much food as some other big dogs because they're very efficient. Keep their meals healthy and their water fresh as can be! 🍗

🎾 Play & Activities

Favorite Games & Activities:

  • Hiking and running

Huskies need LOTS of move-move-movement! They love running for miles, hiking in the woods, and playing in the snow. They're happiest when they're active and bored easily without it! They're like the marathon runners of the dog world! 🏃‍♀️

🏡 Living Environment

Huskies need a very secure yard with a high fence! They love to explore and can be little escape artists. They prefer cooler weather and love having lots of company. They're definitely not solo apartment dogs! 🏡
