Meet Mega: A Sweet Soul Searching for His Forever Home Mega is a handsome 8-year-old, 60-pound, tri-color Husky with a heart as big as his gentle spirit. This sweet boy was surrendered to the shelter by his previous owner and appears to have spent most of his life outdoors. He came to us underweight and with signs of neglect, including severe fly-strike on his ears. Despite everything, Mega’s resilience shines through, and he’s ready to start a new chapter with a family who will give him the love and care he deserves.
At first, Mega can be timid and a little shy, but after moving into his foster home, he has made remarkable progress in a short amount of time. While still timid around some new experiences, Mega has never shown a hint of aggression. Instead, he approaches the world with sweetness and curiosity, needing a little extra time and patience to feel secure. Once you can his trust, it’s such a privilege to see Mega’s silly personality come through.
Mega will thrive in a quiet, loving home with an adopter who understands that he needs time to warm up. He may not be snuggly right away, but once he bonds with his human, he’ll become a loyal shadow, following you wherever you go. After being in foster care, Mega is already proving how much love he has to give—he just needs the right person to help him blossom.
Mega’s Highlights - House-trained: Mega is fully house-trained and can be left home alone without a crate. He’s non-destructive and well-behaved. - Cat-friendly: He’s incredibly gentle with the resident “mean” cat in his foster home, earning points for patience and good manners! He would do best with cats who are dog-savvy. - Dog-friendly vibes: Mega is non-reactive on walks, even when other dogs bark at him, and he displays positive body language toward dogs of all sizes. He had a playdate with another dog his size and had a great time and was very friendly. - Quiet and calm: Mega rarely barks, but will let out a classic Husky howl if he hears firetruck sirens! - Great on the leash: He loves long, leisurely walks—especially in the cold—and enjoys exploring and sniffing everything along the way. - Gentle and sweet: Mega takes treats delicately. He’s learning what toys are and is figuring out how to make them squeak!
A Few Things to Note - Timid but adjusting: Mega is still shy with new people, but
