About Nanook

Nanook is a 9-year-old husky, shepherd, and lab mix looking for a loving retirement home where he can relax on a comfy couch. Having arrived from an uncertain background, he has quickly shown himself to be sweet and calm. While his eye area is still healing from a past injury, he walks wonderfully on a leash and travels well in the car. At home, Nanook is well-mannered and doesn’t cause any trouble when left loose, having initially been placed in a kennel. He seems indifferent to his foster brother, focusing more on getting equal attention. His initial excitement around new dogs shows his playful side, but he takes it in stride, calming down once acquainted. Nanook is gentle with children, enjoying cuddles and showing no signs of food aggression at feeding time. He does need a family that understands husky behavior, including the occasional grumble and adorable mini-howls when he wants something. As a unique blend of a senior dog and a spirited companion, he’s truly delightful. Contact HumaneCNY if you're interested in giving Nanook the loving home he deserves. What are you waiting for?
