 Angel, the boy-ADOPTION PENDING
|
|
About Me :
|
Angel is a very well mannered young male 3 to 4 years old. His is calm and happy. He is a joy to have around with his soft expression and big brown eyes, and is very mellow. He is not as high energy as many huskies his age. Though he looks for his canine companionship, he is most happy with human attention. Being petted to include a belly rub seems to be one of his favorite things. He is fully housebroken. He is good in the crate but does not require one in his foster home. He is not able to be around cats or other small pets. Angel walks well on a leash and loves to go for walks, which will be very important in for him. Angel will require someone very focused on his health as he is currently at a very unhealthy weight and needs a home that will adhere to a healthy diet and a good exercise program. Angel was recently diagnosed with a thyroid condition which contributed to his weight gain. He has just started his daily medication, which is very inexpensive.

Bandit

About Me :
|
TO MEET ME IS TO WANT ME.
4 year old Banit is one of those dogs that you may just scroll past because he is not as "striking" as some of the others. That would be a huge mistake. Read on:
Some say Siberian Huskies are like snowflakes with no two being alike. Wooley Bandit is one of the most fun dogs to enter our program.
Bandit was recently returned after being in a adoptive home for two years. One of his owners had to leave town for long lengths of time and Bandit was having stress and seperation anxiety bathroom problems. Lovable Bandit has adjusted immediately in foster care. He is very trusting and has an "innocent until proven guilty" theme with both dogs and humans.
We have two requirements for Bandit.
1. He needs a canine playmate since he has never been totally alone.
2. He can not be alone for more than 5-6 hours at a time on a consistent basis.
This large playful boy is comfortable around children of all ages. He is a big boy so toddlers should never be left alone with him.
Big Bandit is very obedient. When being corrected he listens well but the attention span is short. Already the foster home has seen improvement. Bandit is completely housetrained however, he needs to be crated when left alone due to the seperation anxiety. Bandit comes when he is called. Click on "read more about me" and see how many boxes are checked in the column of positive traits.
Because of his size, the family should be careful when they get Bandit all riled up. Also, this lad thinks he is a 20pd dog and tries to get into impossible places. Watching his effort will make you giggle.
Bandit will want to be with the family. He will follow you around but not be a pain. Plus he is not destructive so he can get free roam of the house when you are home. He is crated when the family is out.
You can burn off some of his energy by playing fetch. He retrieves and gives it back to you. Bandit will also entertain himself with any toy that squeaks.
Bandit could be a second or third dog in a home depending on the other dogs. He does get jealous when the other dog gets attention. He will stop whatever he is doing and come over. Previously he did not have fence but he does in foster. A fenced yard will certainly help with the energy level which is about medium for the breed and age.
Ask us about our young, carefree boy Bandit.

Chief -- to be adopted with sister, Spirit
|
|
About Me :
|
(Bio is the same as Spirit’s except for some details about him.)
Twelve month old wooly Chief came to us with his sister, Spirit (also posted), from a good samaritan who rescued them from their original owner who was about to take them to a shelter. Just a couple of really sweet, fun-loving pups with lots of personality. If there was ever a case of a sum being greater than its parts, this is it! (Not that the "parts" aren’t great too.) They’re so cute together it’s hard to talk about one without thinking of them together. Equal parts "lovey" with each other (Spirit "spooned" still-groggy Chief in the car on the way back from his neutering) as well as with everyone they’ve met, we would love to find a home where they could remain together--a plus for any Sibe lover without a furry friend who knows how much happier (& easier) these guys are when they have another as a companion.
Of the two, Chief is more dominant and has a tougher time restraining this with some male dogs (though this will likely change now that he’s been neutered). Together, though, Spirit rules the roost, often poking him with her muzzle, jumping him, or pouncing the ground with her paws to get him to play. The good brother he is, he always rises to the occasion and plays very nicely despite his powerhouse "fire-hydrant" build, which he demonstrated to his foster parent’s great surprise by easily scaling a 6 foot chain link fence and jumping another 5 foot wooden door. (A six foot palisade or comparable is a must for this guy.)
Chief does well in a crate so long as someone (or his sister) is around too. His foster parents are also happy to see that the two are getting much better with their house-breaking routine, though accidents still occasionally happen. (New owners will likely have to work on this in his new home.) And, for Sibes, the energy level of these two isn’t off the charts ... they’re very calm and laid back most of the time, perfectly happy to just chill on the floor near each other or at your feet.
Overcome the usual puppy challenges these two will present (a bone to chew to spare your furniture and house-breaking to spare your floors) and they’ll return joy and happiness a hundredfold.

Jakey
|
|
About Me :
|
Jakey recently turned 5yrs old. This sweet boy was raised by an elderly couple
who loved him dearly and treated him well. Sadly, Jakey's owners needed to
be placed in a nursing home and have both passed away. This handsome boy's affectionate
spirit is a testament to the TLC he received in his previous home. Unfortunately his previous
owners were not able to take him many places so Jakey has needed some time to gain
confidence meeting new people and being in unfamiliar surroundings. Jakey has made great progress
but his new home will still need to continue to work with him.
Jakey would do best in a quiet home as an only dog or with a mature female canine companion. We
recommend no kids under 10yrs as he tends to play rough. Jakey is house trained and good loose in the
house when no one is home.

CAN I LIVE WITH YOU?
First you should know that my medicines run approx 250 dollars a month. If you read that and did not blink then please keep reading.
I love to cuddle with people but be careful I am a bed hog.
I am currently living with two other Siberians and I love to play with them. Matter of fact I love all dogs...big dogs, little dogs, skinny dogs, fat dogs it just does not matter.
Cats- they are awesome too. I especially like to play chase with the 6 month old kitten in my foster home. I would never hurt him though!
Need a singing partner then I am your man! I can sing and talk and talk and then sing some more. You will never be lonely with me in the house.
My foster mom says that I should tell you that I do have a couple of unique issues:
I am a big boy- well make that HUGE boy. Ha Ha I say it is just more of me to love. My foster mom calls me T-Rex but that is ok she can call me anything as long as she calls me for dinner.
I am blind in my right eye. This eye also has Glaucoma. I take two different eye meds daily for it.
Don’t worry that does not stop me one bit. Though I do bump into things occasionally. Who keeps moving the walls around in this house?
And my most serious issue is my heart.
It’s like the grinch - two sizes too small.
I have Chronic Valvular Disease, Atrial premature contractions and early signs of congestive heart failure.
Currently I take 4 different medicines for my heart.
My med’s run about 250 dollars a month right now. I do seem to be doing well on them.
I just want a home to call my own so I can play and sing and sing some more.
Can I live with you?

Smokey
|
|
About Me :
|
Meet our newest 10 month old little girl. She is a gorgeous silver and white Siberian. She is crate trained and seems to enjoy lounging in her crate during down time.
Typical of the breed Smokey is a very high energy pup that would do best in a home with another canine companion.
Smokey likes to swim and often times can be found jumping into her foster parent’s pond.
Probably not one of her most endearing traits!
She has proven to be trustworthy in the house except for a few small nick nacks who can blame her they are so tempting.
Smokey is fully housetrained and will let you know if she needs to potty.
She is an extremely loving dog that is content to snuggle with people or play with other dogs.
She has been to doggie day care and is well adjusted around most dogs. Would not recommend her to be placed with small dogs.
Please check back for more updates as we get to know Smokey more.

Spirit -- to be adopted with brother, Chief

About Me :

(Bio is the same as Chief’s except for some details about her.)
Twelve month old Spirit came to us with her brother, Chief (also posted), from a good samaritan who rescued them from their original owner who was about to take them to a shelter. Just a couple of really sweet, fun-loving pups with lots of personality. If there was ever a case of a sum being greater than its parts, this is it! (Not that the "parts" aren’t great too.)

Spirit’s name suits her. Usually pretty calm and quiet, you’ll forget she’s there until she pops up from quiet repose, whirls in circles like a dervish, then goes slightly airborne before coming to rest in her new position on her bed. She’s also got a strange take on furniture jumping. She’ll make the usual leap then twist, midair, so that she arrives on her back to shoot you this look that says either "dare you to rub my belly!" or "let’s play!" Even though she’s the less mischievous of the two, she’s usually the one to instigate play or come to give you face licks and request attention.
Spirit does well in a crate so long as someone (or her brother) is around too. Her foster parents are also happy to see that the two are getting much better with their house-breaking routine, though accidents still occasionally happen. (New owners will likely have to work on this in her new home.) And for Sibes, the energy level of these two isn’t off the charts ... they’re relatively calm and laid back most of the time, perfectly happy to just chill on the floor near each other or at your feet.

TASHA
|
|
About Me :
|
Tasha our newest girl, is petite and lovable. In fact, Tasha is the sweetest, most affectionate little girl you could meet. Tasha loves people, and licks your face as soon as she knows you are a "dog person". Tasha also likes other dogs, and will play with any dog who is interested. True to her breed, she does play rough. Maybe too rough for a very small dog. Tasha is energetic and fit, and will enjoy a home where she will get regular exercise.
Tasha came to us because her owner died. She ended up living at the vet practice she attended. Tasha was there for three months, before we were contacted by the vet. The upside to being at the vet was that she met lots of dogs, and is up to date on all her shots. And, she got lots of attention from the staff.
Tasha should not be in a home with a cat or other small critters. This is something the vet found out.
Tasha must have lived in a one floor home, as she was very timid of stairs in her foster house. But, she showed that she was very treat motivated, and followed a trail of biscuit pieces up and down the steps. After that, no more fear of steps. She is eager to please and treat motivated, and that means she is trainable. Tasha does know "sit" and will come when called, but that seems to be the extent of her past training. Her foster family will be working on walking calmly on leash and other items. She does pull when out on her walk.
If you meet Tasha and look into her beautiful, soulful brown eyes, you will fall in love with her.
