About Despin

Despin is a striking young Siberian Husky mix with a bold black and white coat and the energy to match his size. At just 7 months old, he's already quite large and could have some Malamute in him. He came up from a New Mexico shelter after being picked up as a stray, and he’s proven quick to pick up new skills—though he still needs consistency and ongoing training. Typical of the breed, Despin is sometimes aloof, but he always circles back to check in with his people. He does best with dogs his own size or a little smaller, especially if they can handle some rough play. Hiking, pulling a sled, or any job that gives Despin a sense of purpose really lights him up. He'd thrive with an active family, ideally with older children due to his strength and size, and he’ll need a minimum 5-foot fence for safety. Despin is house trained, vaccinated, neutered, and ready for his next adventure. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
