Each week, the Independent highlights an animal available for adoption at Baypath Humane Society in Hopkinton. This week’s adoptable animal is 8-year-old Horton.

Here is Baypath’s description of Horton:

“Horton is a resilient and lovable husky mix who’s come a long way since being rescued from an overcrowded breeding operation last year. When he arrived at Baypath, he was underweight, battling pneumonia and suffering from a kidney infection. After nearly a year in limbo as part of an active cruelty case, Horton is finally ready for a home.

“This friendly boy is full of classic husky charm — playful, social and a little bit stubborn in the most endearing way. He’s great with other dogs and especially close with his best friend, Cleo. Horton loves toys (even if his version of fetch is hilariously imperfect) and greets everyone with a wag and a smile.

“Could you be the one to give this special guy the forever home he deserves?”
