I'm Yukon, Adopt Me!
Siberian Husky / German Shepherd Dog | Adult | Male

Three-year-old Yukon is a smart, athletic guy! If you are looking for a fetcher, this is your guy. Yukon would enjoy having access to an outdoor space where he can romp, train, and play with his adopters. Besides retrieving balls, he also likes to chase and tug on his flirt pole. And he is learning how to crawl through tunnels and navigate obstacles on our agility course. Yukon is always ready to join his peeps for some fun but he also appreciates pets and belly rubs at the end of a long day! We recommend he does not go into a home that has cats or small animals. Yukon prefers a home without children younger than 12 years old. He currently weighs 60 pounds.Yukon's adoption fee has been prepaid by a generous donor.

Yukon's adopter must be at least 18 years old with valid state-issued identification. ARF encourages family members to participate in the adoption process, especially children and family dogs. Please visit ARF's web site for information on adoption and to view more cute canines.
