About Ivy

Ivy lost her lifelong owner and her canine companion at the same time, so she was understandably shaken when she first arrived. She settled in well though, showing a quiet resilience beneath her initial shyness. Ivy is a mild-mannered Siberian Husky who opens up once she feels secure, especially if you're generous with butt scratches. She gets along with her current male dog roommate, but also seems content as a solo dog. While she enjoys dog toys, her current roommate doesn’t share well, so she hasn’t had much chance to play lately. Ivy thrives outdoors and needs a fenced yard for exercise and mental stimulation. A calm, adult-only home suits her best, as she’s used to peace and routine. She weighs around 50 pounds, is housetrained, and takes comfort in gentle company. Ready to meet your new best friend?
