Ready to start your family of furry, four-legged children?  How about brothers Trinidad and Havana? 

Trinidad is a smart, happy dog who has a ton of potential! This eight-month-old Chesapeake Bay Retriever/Siberian Husky mix is energetic and motivated. He loves to learn new things and especially loves to play ball.  If you’re looking for a running partner, fishing buddy or camping companion, Trinidad is your guy.  He’d be thrilled to take agility or tricks classes, too.  When you come to meet him at the Wisconsin Humane Society, he’ll be excited to meet you!  Promise.
 
Both Trinidad and his brother (er, virtual twin), Havana, have perky ears, reddish coats and lean bodies, making them distinctive stand-outs.  Trinidad has unusually expressive features and makes all sorts of silly faces. His eyes light up when you bring out the leash and his head cocks to the side when he doesn’t recognize a sound.  He’s especially engaged with people and makes a lot of direct eye contact; he thrives on human interaction and will likely bond strongly with his new guardians.

So, start your fuzzy family.  The “work” is half-way done with this whole package.
