Ice is a 7-year-old Husky weighing 47 pounds, and this sweet girl is ready to find her forever adventure buddy! She has a calm, steady personality with an independent, easygoing side. Ice enjoys exploring her surroundings, taking in all the interesting smells, and checking out the world at her own pace. She also loves spending time with her people and soaking up the good stuff life has to offer.

Ice is very food motivated, so treats are definitely the way to her heart! They are a great tool for building a bond, encouraging positive interactions, and showing her that new experiences can be fun. She walks well on leash, enjoys relaxed outings, and loves her toys. When it comes to affection, Ice likes to do things on her own terms, but during calm, low-pressure interactions, she often shows her sweet and affectionate side.

Ice gets along well with other dogs and enjoys having canine company. She does, however, prefer to keep her toys to herself and isn't interested in sharing her treasures. Her future family will need to provide appropriate management around toys and other high-value items, giving her space to enjoy her belongings separately from other dogs.

Because Ice enjoys her space and has specific preferences around her belongings, she will do best in a home without cats or other small animals. A secure, fenced-in yard is also required so Ice has a safe space to enjoy outdoor time, sniff around, and explore at her own pace.

Ice is currently undergoing heartworm treatment and will need ongoing care, including return visits to the NMDR clinic. Her future family will need to be committed to continuing her recommended treatment and veterinary care.

If you're looking for a sweet Husky with a calm personality, an independent streak, and a serious appreciation for snacks, Ice may be your girl! She'll do best with a patient family who will give her time to settle in, respect her boundaries, and let her show her personality at her own pace. With consistency, tasty treats, and a little patience, Ice is sure to make a wonderful companion.

A required in-person meet and greet at our shelter is part of the adoption process to help ensure a good fit for Ice, any resident dogs, and her potential adopters.

Many NMDR dogs have had limited prior socialization and may need time, patience, and support as they adjust to home life. Skills such as house training, leash walking, and handling may require continued practice. Progress will vary by individual dog. Homes with older children are often a good fit, depending on temperament. To learn more about NMDR and our adoption process, please visit our website.
