Adopt James

Husky · Male · Adult · 6 years

James is a 6-year-old Siberian Husky who is initially shy but becomes affectionate with time. He loves playing with other dogs but lacks social cues and can be boisterous when meeting new dogs. James enjoys both indoor relaxation (considers himself a lap dog) and outdoor activities. He's good with children 9+ and other similar-sized dogs. He can be left alone for 3-4 hours maximum, up to 3 times weekly. James needs an experienced family with large breed experience who can provide mental and physical stimulation and help with his training needs.

James is a very sweet boy although he can be a little withdrawn in places he is unfamiliar with. He will therefore need some time and space in his new home to settle, adjust and get used to his new surroundings. James can live in a household with other dogs of a similar size and children as young as 9-years-old. James loves to play and interact with other dogs, but he isn’t great with social cues and tends to ‘rush in’; he can also be a bit boisterous and over-excited when meeting dogs for the first time. With some time and additional training, however, this is something that can definitely be worked on. James would thrive with a family that can dedicate the time and energy to ensuring his needs are fully met and helping him become the very best version of himself. * This dog is currently being rehomed under our Homestay scheme. Under this scheme, the dog stays with their current owner until the point of adoption, when ownership transfers briefly to Dogs Trust and then to the new adopters. The benefits of Homestay for a dog are that it minimises disruption and prevents the dog having to come into kennels, however there is the potential the owner may pull out of the scheme prior to adoption. We understand the upset this may cause to potential adopters, and we work closely with owners to minimise the likelihood of this. However, it remains a possibility, and should this occur, Dogs Trust will prioritise finding adopters an alternative suitable dog. Meet James, a 6-year, 2-month-old Siberian Husky! This gorgeous boy is a little shy and aloof when you first meet him but give him some time and you will soon learn he is an affectionate, well-behaved lad in need of a new family to give him the love and attention he deserves. James is generally a very happy chappy, and loves curling up on the sofa at home (he likes to think of himself as a bit of a lap dog), but he is just as content out on the lead or running around in a nearby field. This loveable lad interacts wel
