This is Pacer. He joined our little pack earlier tonight. Pacer is a husky mix who has been at our shelter for almost a year. He's very timid, but sweet and gentle. He was becoming depressed at the shelter. There are some volunteers who take the shelter dogs to a fenced area on the weekends, but they can't take Pacer as they can't catch him again. You can imagine how sad he was watching his buddies leave for a run. So now he's here where he can run in a huge fenced area to his little heart's content!

This is in my truck on the way home--actually the McDonald's drive thru. He had a happy meal for a special treat.

Hanging out in the kitchen. I'd imagine it's the first time he's been inside a house!

So far he's fitting in well--very busy running around.

Welcome to the chaos little fella!

Pacer is a beautiful boy! His story tugged at my heart--he looks so sweet lying in the kitchen. He is such a lucky boy to get to move to your home, and to get McDonalds! I'm sure he'll adjust to the good life in no time. Thanks for all you do!

I don't know, are you sure he's a foster? Or, are you going to fail Fostering 101 again? If you are, congratulations! That beautiful pup deserves a loving home like yours.:D He had enough loneliness in his life after such a long time at the shelter...

Pacer is a gorgeous doggy! :eek:
Does he have two different colored eyes? I can't quite tell if he does or if it's just the flash.
He's so lucky to have you :) and your new fenced doggy run!!!
Thanks for sharing your pictures of this handsome new foster!

Running a shelter is a very noble thing. Thanks for giving Pacer and the others a home. He looks like one happy pup.

What a cutie! I can't imagine that he would be in a shelter for a year already. I would have thought someone would have adopted Pacer right away :( I'm glad you took him home.

He's so beautiful! I'm glad he has you. He will be a lot happier, now. Once when I was at SPCA walking dogs, I practically had to shove one back in it's pen. It broke my heart.

He's an alaskan husky. He actually bears a strong resemblence to most of the sled dogs around here....which I call "skinny little white dogs". I am sure he is from a mushing line. Soon as he settles in I am putting him in a harness.
