This is Chum. He's a young husky mix, very sweet. Just a big ball of kisses. He just came out here tonight. He's been at our local shelter for a few months and actually was almost euthanized at first. He was quite aggressive, although he never actually bit anyone. For that reason, we decided to give him some time to adjust and he spent a long time in the isolation unit. It slowly became apparent that Chum had never known a human who was kind to him. He wasn't aggressive by nature, he was simply fending off the attack he expected. Now he's relaxed and just a great dog. Unfortunately, someone claiming to be his former owner has been calling the shelter and saying they want him back. They haven't shown up yet, but rather than take a chance, Chum is in hiding for now.
My friend who's dog was killed earlier this week might be interested in him. She's going to come meet him on Saturday. Her remaining dog is very lonely.
