My mix breed, I got him as a pup from a close family friend that started having pretty bad back problems and wouldn't be able to care for him properly. Even after a few surgeries, they're still mostly immobile, so anytime I head to their place to help out with something (mostly splitting wood for winter) I bring their not so smol boi over to visit while I do work. He was an outside dog until I got my own place. He adjusted quite well to the indoor life and pretty much claimed the sofa.
House felt a bit empty, so I checked out craigslist for a few weeks before an ad about a couple looking for a new home for their husky popped up. He was apparently too rowdy and they didn't have the time to even properly walk him daily due to their jobs. I was primarily looking for a female dog, but I had always wanted a husky, so I hit them up and decided to get him. He was thin and needed a good brushing, but other than that, he was completely healthy. A guy I worked with jokingly said for me to not get killed by the big dog. Sure enough, he got the zooms in the front seat and started swinging paws at me. I took a few to the face and damn near went off the road. It's a good thing he settled down and became a big part to my family here.
There's also my other 2 dogs I never talk about. Got them both from the same backyard breeder.
