About Twix

Meet Twix, a husky who came to us after being abandoned at a park. Despite her rough start, she’s embracing life again with the kind of sweetness you only find in a survivor. When she arrived, Twix was underweight and clearly in need of steady meals, but she turned out to be incredibly affectionate and eager for all the attention she can get. Twix shows all the classic husky traits—sharp mind, a streak of independence, and a lot of energy to burn. She needs regular exercise, structure, and someone who knows what it takes to keep a husky happy. Swimming is her newest passion, and seeing her in the water is a treat. So far, Twix has shown real interest in playing with other dogs at the shelter, although her full preferences are still being learned as she settles in. Because she has a high prey drive, she can’t live with cats. Her resilience and affectionate nature stand out—her past hasn’t dulled her spirit one bit. Twix needs a home with stability and commitment, where she feels safe and truly wanted. She’s looking for an adopter with patience, dedication, and an understanding of the husky lifestyle. Twix is waiting for someone ready to offer her that second chance. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
