Adopt Harlem

Husky · Male · Senior · 11 years

Don't let his almost 12 years fool you: Harlem is a husky-siberian mix who still brims with energy and personality! A true sportsman at heart, he loves to move, explore, and sometimes lets loose with frenzied runs in all directions, to the great joy of those around him. Expressive and endearing, he lets himself be petted when the mood strikes him, on his terms… and it's precisely this well-defined character that makes him so unique. A lively, independent companion full of surprises! Arrived from the pound, Harlem needs a present and dynamic family who can offer him rhythmic days and active outings. He vocalizes when he gets bored or feels frustrated, and doesn't appreciate being handled, like during grooming or vet visits. He cannot live with cats, and cohabitation with other dogs will depend on their affinities. Harlem is a grandpa with plenty left to give!

Ne vous fiez pas à ses presque 12 ans : Harlem est un croisé husky sibérien qui déborde encore d'énergie et de personnalité ! Véritable sportif dans l'âme, il adore bouger, explorer, et s'offre parfois des crises de folie où il court dans tous les sens, pour le plus grand bonheur de ceux qui l'entourent. Expressif et attachant, il se laisse caresser quand l'envie lui prend, à ses conditions… et c'est justement ce caractère bien trempé qui le rend si unique. Un compagnon vif, indépendant et encore plein de surprises ! Arrivé de fourrière, Harlem a besoin d'une famille présente et dynamique, capable de lui offrir des journées rythmées et des sorties actives. Il vocalise lorsqu'il s'ennuie ou se sent frustré, et n'apprécie pas les manipulations comme le toilettage ou les visites chez le vétérinaire. Il ne pourra pas vivre avec des chats, et la cohabitation avec d'autres chiens se fera au cas par cas selon les affinités. Harlem est un papy qui en a encore sous le capot !

About Harlem

What life with Harlem looks like

Harlem is a large senior husky dog waiting at Le Bois Pinson) in Bois Pinson.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

Note from the shelter: Vocalizes when bored or frustrated, dislikes grooming and vet visits
