Plenty of Pets
Shepsky is a young German shepherd-husky mix who was pregnant when she was rescued. She spent much of her first few months tied to a step in Inuvik.
She’s a year old, and is now ready for a home of her own.
She’s full of energy and will need some obedience training. Her foster family finds she is motivated by treats.
Shepsky hates being crated, but if left loose when people aren’t home she will chew things.
Shepsky is an adoptable with Litters ‘n Critters Rescue Society.
