About Apple Jacks

This could be the start of something paw-some. Meet Apple Jacks, a unique Siberian Husky mix currently looking for a loving home in Appleton, WI. Turning 8 months old on February 5th, this big-hearted boy already weighs about 62 pounds and is still growing! When he first arrived in Wisconsin at 5 months old, Apple Jacks was timid and overwhelmed, but with the gentle care and patience of his fosters, he has blossomed. Now, he enjoys asking for pets, loves to snuggle, and is happy to play or curl up for a nap. Inside the house is where he feels most comfortable and confident—he'll sit by the door when he needs to go out and is slowly learning recall, especially when beef liver treats are involved. Apple Jacks shares his foster home with three teenagers and two female dogs, thriving best with older kids or an adults-only home. He’s not fond of kennels as they make him anxious; instead, he prefers to find his own safe spot to decompress, sleeping near his foster dog sisters or humans at night. Outdoors is still daunting for him, especially with daytime noises and new sights, but he’s making progress thanks to slow, positive experiences with leash, collar, and car rides. He needs a patient and understanding adopter who will let him set the pace and offer plenty of encouragement. In return, you’ll have a loyal, loving companion for life. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started. Shelter: White Paws German Shepherd Dog Rescue Inc. Fun fact: Born June 4—Apple Jacks is a Gemini, which means he might surprise you with his playful and curious personality!
