About Kingston

Meet Kingston, a playful and lively one-year-old with a blend of German Shepherd and Husky in his genes. Kingston’s energy is boundless, and he thrives in a home that understands the unique needs of huskies. Although he can be a bit of a handful, especially when he gets excited, he brings joy and laughter wherever he goes. He has experience living with young children and was good with them, but potential adopters should know he may accidentally knock little ones down during his zoomies. In the shelter, Kingston has shown a disinterest in cats, though he has barked at them. It's wise to approach introducing him to feline friends with caution due to his playful nature. He has a dominant personality, making him more suited to a home without other dogs, but he might be okay with a submissive dog under the right circumstances. He will need some crate training at first to help him feel secure. Kingston’s ideal family will offer lots of positive reinforcement to help him understand that their departures don't mean he’s alone for long. If you’re ready for a loyal and energetic companion, Kingston might just be your perfect match! Click apply to start the adoption process.
