Markus

Description

Successfully rehomed by BrightSide Animal Center (Formerly Humane Society of Redmond)

Handsome, sweet, healthy and athletic Husky mix boy!Markus came to us as a 58 pound owner surrender -- his family had him most of his 4 years of age and reported that Markus became very depressed when their other dog died. They said he's a little scared of men, but watch the video because Randy was doing pretty well with him -- and he's a big, low voiced guy. Markus lived with small children and did well -- really young children. They described Markus as getting along well with dogs and cats. Best yet -- we placed Markus with a husky saavy foster family and this is their 24-hour initial report:"Markus (we changed his name from Jericho) seems to have some abandonment issues and is very skittish and insecure in the house, especially towards my husband.

he will need a home that is patient and consistent with him, especially inside the house(no family, boyfriend drama).
