About Artemis

Artemis stands out as a husky/German Shepherd mix with a gentle spirit and striking looks. She’s housebroken, food motivated, and naturally bonds to people and other dogs once she warms up. Shy at first, Artemis has a deep need to be close to her humans and thrives when surrounded by other playful dogs. She settles in best when she has a calm, patient owner who understands her breed and can set clear expectations. Artemis loves being part of a pack and follows the lead of those around her, both canine and human. She sleeps comfortably in a crate at night and quickly learns new routines when positive reinforcement is used. If you have husky experience (or are ready to learn) and want to add a loyal companion to your family, Artemis could be the right fit. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
