About Minion

This could be the start of something paw-some. Meet Minion! He is a 5-year-old Husky with a striking long black and white coat and a distinctive pink nose. Minion is all about people—his sweet, mellow personality shines when he's soaking up attention, whether it's cuddles, pets, or just companionship. Known for being tidy and quite chatty, Minion is also a quick learner who is eager to please. An active, outdoorsy family will be a perfect match for him, especially with a secure fenced yard to safely explore. Minion loves water, going for walks, and is happy to join you for car rides or to lounge and patiently wait for your return. He is very affectionate and has shown he enjoys time with kind, dog-savvy children aged 13 and up. While Minion previously lived with a senior female Husky, he is food possessive and can be aggressive toward other dogs, so he must be placed in a home where he is the only dog. His compatibility with cats or small animals has not been determined, so supervision and slow introductions are a must if such pets are in the home. Minion is not a jumper or climber, but a secure fenced yard is required to keep him safe and happy. All vaccinations are up to date, and he is already neutered and microchipped. As a Capricorn, Minion is destined to be loyal and steadfast—a wonderful family companion for adopters ready to match his devotion. They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
