Bonded pair of cuddly huskies looking for forever home. Foxy and Tango are 4 years old, 60 #, fixed, vaccinated, insured, and full of love.
Tango slightly prefers women and children and is an unintentionally selfish diva, but incredibly affectionate and sensitive at the same time. He's the more silly one, and the slightly more cuddly one. Sassy, will howl at you for love. He spends most nights on my lap. He never met anyone who wasn't his best friend.
Foxy is smart as a whip, anxious, and motherly. She takes a little longer to decide a new situation isn't going to be the end of her, but in general is still pliable with some kind words and a tasty treat. Usually the things she decides are scary are inoculous like a new hard floor she's not walked on 😂 She loves to give kisses and they're some of cleanest, slobber free kisses ever. She slightly prefers men and adults. Sassy, will howl at you for her breakfast. She is the one who would need a little time to trust that new people/children won't violate her boundaries and become comfortable.
They're both husky mixes. Vocal like huskies but not the type to stand outside and be loud either (unless the neighborhood cat is teasing them from outside the fence). They have low exercise needs, we walk them maybe 5 days a week for 15-20min. They're both far more affectionate than most husky types but are still the independent and unlikely to be considered obedient by most standards. They follow our daily routine without issues at all, and are very good at going where we want them to. They currently don't have problems with separation anxiety but I do believe they would struggle with it for a period of time settling in to a new place- this includes noise making and if left in a crate- the death of the bed in that crate. They do well in crates at night. They prefer a yard to lounge in, and will spend a good part of the day outside. I recommend a secure yard or kennel for daytime keeping them. They were STARTING to trial free house time during the day and night with their original owners when they had to give them up, it was going well, so in their permanent house I could see that being an eventuality. They don't need a high fence. I leave them in my fenced yard, instead of the outdoor kennel when I'm gone without issues. They LOVE car rides, a ride in the back seat of my truck is beloved more than a walk. They were raised with kids from baby to toddler to teen. Generally dog friendly, but can be overwhelming to the other dog in their exuberance.
The bad-
Bad prey drive- towards cats, opossum, racoons, rabbits, etc.
Excitement- Tango will "punch" when he's excited or wants something. It's adorable but can hurt when he gets you in the knee.
Walks - they're pullers. Not out of control but not great either.
Health- Tango has had one hip surgery and there's no guarantee that he won't need the other. They both have health insurance that I can transfer to a new parent, but for Tango at least, it's likely his hips will not be covered as a pre existing condition. The surgery was done before they were given up.
Food- Foxy is a counter surfer when not kept track of. They both have less than stellar food manners, from their previous human siblings giving them a lot of snacks, that we've been working on.
