Lupo

Description

Meet Lupo Lupo is an 8 month-old Husky mix who came to H-E-A-R-T from a local cruelty case, rescued alongside his mom, Jetta, and two of his siblings. With the help of his foster family — especially his foster Husky siblings — Lupo is doing incredibly well. He’s learning that houses aren't so scary, people can be trusted, and being part of a family is actually pretty great. Lupo is a high-energy, vocal young guy who loves other dogs, toys, tug-of-war and, perhaps more than anything else, WATER. Pools, swimming, splashing — if there’s water involved, Lupo would like to participate. At home, Lupo is: Mostly housebroken High-energy and vocal Good with other young, playful dogs Good on leash, although he can still pull Still learning bite inhibition and appropriate puppy play Wary of strangers and sudden movements... But is making daily progress  Lupo is still very much a puppy. He can be mouthy when playing and is an enthusiastic chewer, so continued redirection, crate training, and plenty of appropriate chew toys will help him mature. Because of his energy and play style, he’s best suited for families with children 10+. Lupo must have another energetic, tolerant dog — he gains confidence from canine companions and has made huge progress with his foster siblings. He needs an active family committed to regular walks, exercise, and patient introductions to new people. A fenced yard isn’t required as long as his family provides consistent leash walks and leashed potty breaks. And if Lupo could add one special request? A pool or a place to swim. Water is his absolute joy. Lupo started life learning reasons to be cautious. Now he needs a family — and a canine best friend — who will keep showing him all the reasons he doesn't have to be. Lupo is being fostered in Virginia and is adoptable from NJ - NC.  For more photos please visit www.huskyrescueteam.org/lupo
