Notes from Northern California Sled Dog Rescue

The Gentle, Easygoing Husky With a Heart of Gold

Wes is a mellow, sweet‑natured 3‑year‑old Husky who wandered into a cul‑de‑sac in Land Park—and straight into the hearts of the family who found him. Named after their street, he’s a calm, affectionate boy who would make an excellent first‑time husky for someone wanting the beauty of the breed without the chaos.

He’s crate trained, potty trained, and walks nicely on leash; a properly fitted prong collar helps him stay focused and comfortable on outings. In the car, he’s a dream—quiet, relaxed, and happy to ride along.

Wes is wonderful with other dogs, including small ones, and loves playful romps with bigger dogs. His gentle demeanor suggests he’d likely do well with respectful children, though formal testing hasn’t been done.

Important Notes

No cats — he’s far too interested.

Resource guarding — he must be fed separately from other dogs, and humans should use common sense around his food and high‑value items.

Leash manners — walks well; prong collar recommended for best control.

If you’re looking for a calm, loving companion who brings all the husky charm with none of the mayhem, Wes is ready to be your steady, loyal partner.
