About Kit

Start your journey together! Apply now. Kit is a charming young Siberian Husky/German Shepherd mix who has proven to be a delight when out in the yard, showing off his playful side and love for people. He is a sweet, energetic puppy who thrives when playing and interacting with others. Kit does wonderfully with other dogs, especially those who match his high energy level, making him a fantastic companion for active pets. While he's extremely friendly towards people, his enthusiastic personality may be a bit much for very young children, but he should do well with older kids who can keep up with his zest for life. Kit has not yet been around cats, so this is an unknown. His behavior outside the kennel is a stark contrast to his discomfort with returning to confinement, which is not uncommon for energetic and smart breeds like him. Born on September 30, Kit is a Libra, a sign known for charm and affection, and he brings those Libra qualities to every interaction. A full behavioral bio will be shared soon to provide even more insight into Kit's personality. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
