About Minnow

Meet Minnow! Minnow is a massive, walrus-shaped Husky who brings pure goofball energy wherever he goes. Nearly 115lbs at intake, he's that big fluffy clown who might look like he skips leg day, but it doesn’t stop him from trying to play every chance he gets. His long tongue is dotted with black spots, and he’ll happily flop down for a brushing or just to keep you company. Minnow is thrilled by the simple things—your presence, a good meal, or a car ride with his head out the window in classic Husky style. He’s about 2 years old, born on April 13th, which makes him a determined Aries at heart. Minnow has lived with kids of all ages and would shine as a family dog or with anyone who appreciates a big, moderate-energy companion—and isn’t afraid of a heavy-duty shedding situation. You’ll find fur everywhere, so consider yourself warned. Minnow is house trained and loves to chat, especially when he wants your attention. He enjoys brief bursts of play with other dogs, but after five minutes or so, he’s ready for a drink and a nap. He’s not a friend to cats—chasing them is one of his favorite guilty pleasures—so a cat-free home is best. He’s up to date on vaccinations and already neutered. Ready to meet your new best friend?
