Koopa Troopa is a stunning, playful, and affectionate husky who is ready to find her forever home after being rescued in 2023 from a tragically abusive home. With her beautiful red and white coat and boundless love, she turns heads and doles out kisses wherever she goes. She loves adventures and thrives on activities that keep her active and engaged. Koopa is a water dog who loves to play in pools filled with ice and water or the sprinkler. She loves mud puddles when it rains, you've been warned LOL.
Koopa Troopa is equally happy to snuggle in bed all day- she especially loves Moana and might be the laziest husky ever honestly. She adores belly rubs, long walks, and tough chew toys. With her intelligence and eagerness to please, she’d excel in advanced training, with a job, or agility activities. We take her to several events as one of our ambassadors, she loves to meet people and is a fan favorite at our vet office and Geek and Grub Market.
Koopa Troopa’s Ideal Home
- Active Lifestyle: A family or individual who loves adventures or at least willing to go on daily long walks would be the perfect match for Koopa Troopa.
- Secure Yard: She’s a typical husky who loves to roam, so a secure yard is a must. She must be supervised at all times or leashed.
- No Small Animals: Like many huskies, she has a prey drive and would do best in a home without access to small pets.
- Companionship: She’s social and would love love a friend to play with OR absolutely eat up being the center of attention in her new home.
- Someone Knowledgeable or willing to learn about working dog breeds.
- MUST be vigilant and knowledgeable or willing to learn about PICA and Foreign bodies.
What You Need to Know:
- Koopa Troopa is spayed, fully vaccinated, UTD on FTHW prevention, HW- and microchipped. She is in good health and ready to start her new adventure.
- Koopa was extensively abused for over a year prior to coming to rescue. As a result, she had significant muscular, skeletal, and neurological damage we've worked to address.
- During her time with us it has been determined that Koopa has PICA and cannot be unsupervised out of the crate as she will put ANYTHING into her mouth and eat it- she is especially fond of fabric. As a result, she has a stainless steel crate bottom and can only have her stainless steel water bowl and LARGE nylabone or approved treat dispenser in it when unsupervised. No collars, toys, blankets, or ANYTHING in the crate and no movable objects within 3 feet.
- Koopa has received a scope and 2 foreign body surgeries in the last two years in addition to a spay. At her last foreign body surgery, the DVM discussed a serious concern for the scar tissue and integrity of her abdominal wall if she needs another FB surgery.
- Koopa is a great dog in public, she is comfortable at and attends many events with us as an ambassador. She loves all people and ignores most animals. However, at home she is dog selective.
- Koopa has sensitivity on her neck and hips from her prior abuse.
- Koopa has undergone fast kill heartworm treatment, received physical therapy, and dog ROLFing.
- Koopa eats Purina Sensitive Skin & Stomach food with eggs + shell and gets joint and skin supplements daily.
