Meet Chaucer

ABOUT THIS ANIMAL:
Hi all! I’m Charming Chaucer — and yes, I live up to the name! I’m a handsome, smart, and energetic husky mix with a whole lot of personality and heart. I already know commands like sit, down, paw, and I’m working on mastering roll over — though I’ll happily roll over for belly rubs anytime!

I love playing fetch, then cooling off in a kiddie pool — it’s my idea of a perfect afternoon. And I have a very special hobby… turtle collecting! Don’t worry, I’m gentle — I just like carrying them around until someone offers me a fair trade. My preferred currency? Spray cheese. Only the good stuff.

While I can be a whirlwind of energy, I’m also deeply loyal and affectionate with the people I know and trust. I need a home that understands me — one without kids or cats — and with an experienced, patient owner who’s familiar with husky behavior. I thrive on slow introductions and consistency, and while I need time to build trust, I bond deeply once I do.

I’m so excited to meet my potential new family! To make sure we have the best first impression, I’d feel most comfortable meeting new people with one of my friends(a FOHA staff or volunteer) by my side. The best way to set up a successful meet-and-greet is by submitting an application first. Thanks for considering me!

HOW AM I WITH DOGS:
Dog-selective. I play well with dogs I already know and have enjoyed playgroups with other huskies. However, I can be a bit of a bully toward more submissive dogs and need careful management during introductions. A pre-adoption call is required to discuss what type of dog (if any) might be a fit.

HOW AM I WITH CATS:
No cats for me, please.

HOW AM I WITH KIDS:
I need an adult-only home.

I KNOW THE FOLLOWING COMMANDS:
Sit, down, paw, roll over (in progress)

MY HOUSEBREAKING AND/OR CRATING:
Not specified, but I do well on a routine. Staff can provide more details.

THINGS I LIKE:
Fetch, water play, belly rubs, turtle treasure hunts, spray cheese, treats, learning new tricks, and bonding with my people.

THINGS I DISLIKE:
Fast introductions, chaotic environments, and being touched around my stomach — please go slow and let me build trust at my pace.
