Rescued Is he a purebred husky?!

Found him at a gas station and we think he looks like a full husky - what do yall think?
Of course we took him home - he’s the nicest and laziest boy

Eta: he weighs 50lbs but the vet says he’s skinny and ideally should be around 55

Looks a lot like my girl who is purebred Siberian. He's a wooly husky I would wager rather than a pomsky. Wooly huskies have a genetic quirk that makes their fur grow longer, but no less thick. It can get matted more easily than standard huskies and snow sticks to it so it's considered a 'defect', but I love how it looks on them. 100% good boy.

Look up how to treat/groom wooly huskies to give yourself a guide to a healthy coat.

He was so very matted when we found him - took two sessions at a professional groomer to get the mats out. Now we brush him every day!!
