About Nanook

Nanook is a seven-and-a-half-month-old Siberian Husky mix in Yakima, WA, weighing about 41 pounds. The name fits—Nanook means "polar bear" in Inuit, and his big presence matches the title. Expect a bundle of adventure, confidence, and the classic Husky zest for life. He greets every new face with wagging enthusiasm and plenty to say, living up to the breed’s reputation for being both vocal and outgoing. Even as a young dog, Nanook brings a lot of energy and curiosity to the table. Every outing is an event, and he loves tagging along on hikes, walks, or errands. On leash he's surprisingly good, though as a typical Husky, he’ll thrive with someone who understands the breed’s cleverness and need for regular exercise. He came in as a stray, reportedly after chasing chickens, so it’s likely he’ll need some work around small animals. Nanook would do well with owners who have some experience with Huskies—or at least a willingness to keep up with his smart and spirited personality. If you want a social, outgoing, affectionate dog who keeps things interesting, Nanook is ready. Adoption includes spay/neuter, current vaccinations, and a microchip. Ready to fall in love?
