SLED DOG RESCUE

Madison, a husky who is about 1 year old, loves to cuddle, gets along well with other dogs and kids, but may knock over small children. (Best with no cats or small dogs). Coming to rescue, she was quite thin, and her hair a bit scraggly from poor nutrition. With a little added weight and healthy diet, her coat will improve. She hasn't had much training, but does well on leash; is smart and will learn quickly. She's a little jumpy, strong, with lots of prey drive. She is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped and negative for heartworms. Email rescue@norsled.or or call 1-800-471-5822.
