About Tundra

Tundra is a large, smart, and affectionate mix of Siberian Husky and German Shepherd who thrives on curiosity and interaction. Every day she explores with her nose, seeming to savor every scent and new experience. Petting is always welcome—she loves belly rubs and never shies away from human touch, happily accepting gentle handling of her ears, mouth, and paws. Playtime is a highlight; she’ll bring toys over, but she leans towards tug-of-war rather than fetch. Her gentle nature shows—when she found a chicken egg in the yard, she delivered it without a crack. She’s curious about other dogs and sometimes reacts on leash, barking or watching intently. This seems manageable with redirection and likely just needs training. With children or active folks, she'll fit right in, given her eagerness to please and treat motivation. Tundra greets people enthusiastically, sometimes jumping up, but quickly settles when corrected and just wants attention. She likes to stay near her people, lying down wherever you are. She travels calmly by car and adapts easily to routines at home—house-trained and content when left alone for a few hours, with no signs of destructive behavior or accidents. She’s ready for a home where her energy and affectionate nature are both welcomed and channeled. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
