Meet Sysco!
A spirited two-and-a-half-year-old Siberian Husky currently in Hamden, CT, whose essence is a whirlwind of energy wrapped in a striking red and white coat, with eyes that sparkle with curiosity and loyalty.
Built for movement and full of heart, Sysco is the definition of an adventure buddy! Whether he's darting across a yard in full sprint, diving into a game of fetch, or challenging you to an epic round of tug of war, this boy lives for activity. He’s also got a soft side, after a long day of play, he’s all about snuggling up with his favorite stuffed animal (or your arm, if you’ll allow it) for some well-earned cuddle time.
Smart and eager to please, Sysco knows several commands like sit, paw, boop, and lay down. He’s crate-trained, house-trained, neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, ready for his next chapter with a family who can provide structure, love, and lots of play. While he’s comfortable being alone for short periods, his true happiness shines brightest when he’s with people who make him feel safe.
Sysco is still working on his confidence and trust, especially with men, but he's made encouraging progress with patient, gentle guidance. He bonds quickly with women and thrives with consistency, positive reinforcement, and routines like his twice-daily meals and cozy kennel bedtime. Loud noises, sudden movements, and especially food are triggers for him, and he needs a compassionate home that understands these sensitivities. He can be protective of his food around unfamiliar people, especially men, so a home with adults or older teens who are experienced or willing to learn is ideal.
While he hasn’t had many opportunities to mingle with other dogs or cats he's shown some anxiety, but never aggression, around other pups. He’ll need continued socialization and confidence-building to help him flourish. With the right balance of patience, structure, and affection, Sysco’s loyalty knows no bounds!
