Say hello to big, beautiful Zara! She is a 1 1/2yr old Husky who is always happy to meet new people and do new things. Zara is a young, active, and playful dog in need of an active family with Husky experience. She is smart and knows a few basic commands but still needs obedience training and leash work. Zara has tested well with other dogs so far and will continue to be tested. She would do best in a home with kids over 10. If you have Husky experience, lots of love, & can give her the training she needs we know Zara can make a great four-legged companion. “Must Love Ball!”- Zara.
