A big-hearted Husky ready to find his person.
Max is a 6-year-old Siberian Husky with striking blue eyes, a wonderfully goofy personality, and a surprisingly gentle way about him. At around 64 pounds, he may be a big guy, but much of what Max wants is pretty simple: people he can be close to, a comfortable place to settle in, and someone willing to include him in the adventure.
Max came to Wild Heart alongside his brother, Leo, after the two had spent their lives together. While that relationship will always be part of Max's story, we've gotten the opportunity to know Max as an individual—and we've learned that he has plenty of personality, confidence, and affection all his own.
Max is affectionate without needing to be the center of attention every second. He's curious, playful and occasionally mischievous in that unmistakably Husky way. He enjoys being near his people, likes getting out and exploring, and is equally capable of settling down when the adventure is over.
Max has also shown us something important: he doesn't need his brother beside him to be Max. He's capable of building his own relationships, enjoying his own experiences, and forming a strong connection with the people around him.
We think there's a family out there who isn't looking for one half of a pair. They're looking for Max.
A Home for Max — With or Without Leo
Max and Leo have shared much of their lives together, and their relationship will always be part of their story. While they are now available for adoption individually, Wild Heart Haven is also happy to consider a home interested in welcoming both brothers.
Our priority is finding the right home for each dog. Whether Max's next chapter begins on his own or alongside Leo, we'll work with potential adopters to determine the best fit for everyone involved.
Meet Leo

Age: 6yrs
Sex: Male
Breed: Siberian Husky
Weight: 65lbs

Clever, affectionate, curious, and full of personality, Leo is a six-year-old Siberian Husky who has a wonderful way of making himself part of whatever is happening around him.
At about 65 pounds, Leo is an engaging companion who enjoys his people, appreciates attention, and still has plenty of enthusiasm for getting out and experiencing the world. He's playful and adventurous, but he's also perfectly capable of settling in and enjoying the quieter side of life. Give him something interesting to investigate, somewhere new to explore, or people to spend time with, and Leo is happy to be involved.
There's an intelligence behind those blue eyes, too. Leo is observant, confident, and curious about his surroundings—the kind of dog who seems to be taking things in and figuring them out as he goes. He has that unmistakable Husky personality: independent enough to have opinions of his own, social enough to want to be part of the action, and charming enough to make you laugh when those two qualities collide.
A Future with Leo
Leo's next home should be one that wants to enjoy life with him. Walks, adventures, time outside, enrichment, play, and simply hanging out with his people can all be part of his world. He doesn't need constant excitement; he needs people willing to give his active mind and curious nature appropriate ways to stay engaged.
Like many Huskies, Leo is talented at finding opportunities to explore, so a secure home and attentive handling are important. He also has a strong prey drive and should not live with cats or or other animals. Those are important parts of finding Leo the right environment, but they aren't what define him.
What defines Leo is the affectionate, playful, intelligent dog we have gotten to know, the dog who enjoys his people, embraces an adventure, knows how to settle down when it's over, and still approaches life with plenty of curiosity.
Meet Milo
Quick Fact Box
Neutered: Yes
Microchipped: Yes
Dog Friendly: Yes
Cat Friendly: Yes
Kid Friendly: Yes
House Trained: Yes
Kennel Trained: Yes
Energy Level: High
Milo is the kind of dog who doesn’t simply ask for affection, he throws his whole heart into it.
Young, playful, and almost comically loving, Milo is known for his full-body hugs, enthusiastic greetings, and ability to make nearly everyone he meets feel like his favorite person. He has a big personality, an even bigger heart, and an infectious excitement for whatever the day brings next.
Milo is approximately eight months old and appears to be a Shepherd/Pitbull mix, with the possibility of some Doberman in his family tree. Whatever combination created him, it produced one remarkably handsome, intelligent, and affectionate dog.
He is house trained, kennel trained, and friendly with dogs, cats, and children. Milo is energetic, curious, and eager to learn. He will thrive with a family prepared to give a young dog the exercise, structure, continued training, and connection he needs.
More than anything, Milo loves his people. He is joyful, deeply affectionate, and ready to make someone’s life considerably less boring.
Milo’s Recovery: Back on His Paws!
Milo has officially made his comeback, and this spirited little guy hasn't wasted a moment getting back to what he loves most!
After a difficult beginning that included being kept chained and suffering an injury to his back leg, Milo faced another challenge when he fractured his leg and required surgery through the University of Florida's veterinary team.
With dedicated medical care, plenty of patience, and a whole lot of determination, Milo has made a full recovery! His broken leg has healed, and he's back to his happy, energetic, affectionate self.
Today, Milo is enjoying life without missing a beat. He's curious, enthusiastic, loves to play, and approaches each day with the kind of excitement that makes everyone around him smile.
His recovery is no longer a story about what he can't do. It's a celebration of everything he can.
And now that this chapter is behind him, Milo is ready for the next big adventure: finding a family to call his own.
Meet Ember

House Trained: Yes
Kennel Trained: Yes
Energy Level: Low
No collar, no microchip, and not a clue about where he came from. Ember arrived with a mystery, but his personality has been a pleasant surprise!
This handsome, approximately 7-year-old Belgian Malinois was found wandering the streets of St. Cloud, Florida. Despite having no identification, his well-groomed appearance and surprisingly good manners suggested he'd once known the comforts of a home.
Rather than the nonstop energy often associated with his breed, Ember revealed himself to be a mellow, gentle gentleman who enjoys companionship and gets along with other dogs.
Ember's journey hasn't been without challenges, including some painful paw injuries that have needed attention. But with patience, kindness, and a safe place to rest, this distinguished boy is getting the care he deserves.
We may never know every chapter of Ember's past, but we're determined to make sure the chapters ahead are filled with comfort, companionship, and love
