About Ted

Meet Ted, one of the rescue’s newest additions searching for his forever family in Monroe, NC. He’s a 2-year-old Husky mix, born at the end of May, which makes him a curious and energetic Gemini. Ted is a big, striking dog full of personality. He’s social and animated, with a goofy streak that makes people smile. Ted’s very friendly around other dogs and is especially fond of children, though due to his size and enthusiasm, a home with kids aged 7 or older is best. He already knows how to sit on command and listens well. Training comes easy for him since he’s food-motivated and eager to please. Unlike your typical Husky, Ted doesn’t seem set on escaping—the main thing he wants is to stick close to people. There’s a Labrador-like sweetness to him, always ready for play or affection. Ted would do best with an active family and a securely fenced yard so he can run and explore safely. If you’ve got space in your heart for a gentle, intelligent goofball with a lot of love to give, Ted fits the bill. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
