• “Hi! I'm an energetic 2 year old husky mix. My momma rescued me from a shelter so I could rescue her everyday as a service dog! I love my job even though I'm still learning. I'm a good girl. I don't chase animals even though every thing in me tells me to run! I love other dogs and tend to get on their nerves. I don't know what boundaries are or what dog language is. I love to play with my momma but we don't have a big back yard and we've been attacked by dogs 3 times in our neighborhood and almost got the cops called on us while we were minding our own business. So momma wants to find a safe place to play. I am off leash trained as well!“
