Description

Mowgli is a big blocky-headed goofball with a personality that keeps everyone smiling. Most of the time he’s a pretty quiet guy, but every now and then he blesses us with some dramatic little howly moments that are impossible not to laugh at. Something we’d expect coming from a husky! He’s the kind of dog who just rolls with whatever life throws his way — happy to be included in the adventure no matter where the road leads. With shelter staff, Mowgli is playful, affectionate, and full of fun energy, so we were surprised to learn that he can be a little shy and standoffish with new people at first. Mowgli is the type of dog whose trust is earned through patience, kind introductions, tasty treats, and shared fun moments. Once you’re in his circle though, you’re really in it — and we know he’ll become an incredibly loyal companion. Mowgli came to us as a stray, so his history is largely unknown. Whatever his past may have looked like, he has proven himself to be a very well-mannered boy. He walks nicely on leash despite his excitement to get outside and explore the world. He also appears to be potty trained and may even be crate trained, as he enjoys having his own cozy space to relax in. This smart boy already knows “sit” and “lay down,” and when asked to do something he doesn’t understand, he responds with the funniest little confusion dance and dramatic huff. It’s honestly one of his best quirks! We think Mowgli would really enjoy continued training. When Mowgli first arrived, we expected him to have a more dominant personality with other dogs, but he’s surprised us once again with his friendly and fairly independent demeanor. He tends to do his own thing and coexist well. We are happy to arrange a dog meet-and-greet prior to adoption if needed! Mowgli is truly one of those dogs who keeps unfolding into something even more wonderful the more you get to know him. If you’re looking for a goofy, loyal, well-mannered best friend with a blocky head and an even bigger heart, Mowgli might just be your guy.
