Meet Aspen!Aspen is a 1-year-old, 38-pound Husky girl who may be on the smaller side for her breed, but she has a big personality and an even bigger heart. She came to us as a stray after being found abandoned and tied outside, left alone to fend for herself. Despite the uncertainty she has experienced, Aspen is ready to discover what it feels like to have someone who will truly be there for her.Aspen absolutely loves being outdoors and going for walks. Like many Huskies, she is an active, intelligent girl who has plenty of drive and will need daily exercise, enrichment, and activities to keep her happy and fulfilled. She would love an adopter who enjoys an active lifestyle and is ready to make her part of their adventures.New environments can be a little overwhelming for Aspen, and she can be timid when faced with unfamiliar surroundings. She will need time, patience, and a predictable routine as she settles into her new home. Giving her the opportunity to decompress at her own pace will help her build confidence and learn that she is finally somewhere safe.Aspen is looking for someone who will see beyond her initial nervousness and give her the time she needs to blossom. In return, you may get to watch a once-overlooked dog discover the joy of being someone's beloved companion.Because Aspen's history is unknown, her compatibility with children, cats, and other dogs has not yet been determined. Proper introductions and slow, supervised interactions will be important when introducing her to any resident pets or children.If you're looking for a young Husky who is ready for a fresh start, an active lifestyle, and someone willing to be patient while she learns to trust her new world, Aspen may be the girl you've been waiting for.
