About Arno

Meet Arno! Arno is 3 years old and came to us as an owner surrender after being found as a stray. He is a very sweet pup who loves attention once he is comfortable with you. He is higher energy and loves to play - but could benefit from continued positive reinforcement training in the home to help him with basic manners and loose leash walking. He could live with children 6 years or older as long as they are dog savvy and okay with a higher energy bigger pup. Arno could also live with feline friends and another dog pending a successful meet and greet. Are you interested in this sweet boy? Fill out an application -> thinkingoutsidethecage.org All of our animals are altered, microchipped and up to date on vaccines before being made available for adoption.

About Husky Dogs

Huskies are athletic, free-spirited sled dogs known for their striking appearance, endurance, and love of running. Their wolf-like features, blue or multi-colored eyes, and thick double coat make them one of the most visually stunning breeds. They are social, playful, and have a mischievous sense of humor.

Adopting a Husky means embracing an active, vocal companion who sees life as one big adventure. They are friendly with everyone, love other dogs, and bring endless entertainment to their families. Their independent nature and escape artist tendencies keep their owners on their toes.

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

20°F to 38°F

Dec – Feb

Cold, overcast skies and regular snowfall are the norm in Pittsburgh winters. Road salt is heavily used on the hilly streets, so rinse your pet’s paws after every walk. Short-haired breeds need insulated coats, and the frequent cloud cover means reflective gear is useful even during daytime walks.

Spring

35°F to 65°F

Mar – May

Rainy and gradually warming conditions bring the city back to life. Frick Park trails can be muddy through April, so plan for messy paws. As temperatures stabilize in the 60s, the riverfront trails become excellent for longer walks and outdoor training sessions.

Summer

60°F to 84°F

Jun – Aug

Warm and humid with frequent rain showers throughout the summer. The three rivers and hillside parks provide some relief, but schedule intensive activity for morning hours. Thunderstorms are common, so have indoor enrichment activities ready for your pet on stormy days.
