About Tug

Tug is an athletic mix of Carolina Dog and Husky, independent but always up for an adventure. At just over three years old, he’s got a playful streak and sharp mind. Tug thrives on exercise and pushes hard during play, so he’s best suited for an active adopter who can give him structure and outlets for his energy. He does get along with other dogs, but his rough play means he needs a tolerant, equally-sized female as a companion—or to be the only dog in the home. He’s not a fit for cats or young children. Tug’s curiosity and intelligence show up in everything he does—point him in the right direction, and he’ll figure things out from there. If you’re the adventurous type and want a companion who can keep up, Tug will match your pace and then some. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
