About Steel

Steel is a friendly adult Husky looking for a new home. This large, intelligent dog thrives with companions—he gets along great with both dogs and cats, as well as children aged 11 and older. Steel is housebroken and enjoys being both indoors and outdoors, especially if he has a cool place to chill. He loves to sample table scraps over traditional dog food, which can lead to a little resource guarding. For this reason, meals should be supervised and away from other pets. Steel needs daily exercise with several walks a day to keep him happy. Though he sometimes plays a little rough, he's quick to offer a cuddle as an apology. He prefers not to be left alone, so having another dog or pet around would be beneficial, especially without toys or food to guard. If you're interested in adding Steel to your family, please reach out directly to his guardian at 812-360-8674. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let's get started.
