What am I?

Spayed female Siberian Husky

Colors:

Black & white, brown eyes

Weight:

43 pounds (as of 2/16/18)

Experience with Children:

Pet Harbor does not know my history with children. Since coming to Pet Harbor, I have met children of all ages. All interactions have been positive. Of course, I knocked the wee ones over when I tried to jump up to give them kisses. I didn’t realize I didn’t have to actually jump to reach them. It doesn’t matter. Whether they were up or down, I was able to shower them with kisses!

Experience with Cats:

Pet Harbor does not know my history with cats. On 2/24/18, I was cat-tested. I completely ignored the cats. Seriously, I had no interest in them at all.

Experience with Dogs:

Pet Harbor was told I lived with a 2-year-old male Siberian Husky before being dumped in a shelter. Pet Harbor performed my dog-dog test with a female dog in heat and I passed with lots of wagging. Since coming to Pet Harbor, I have met multiple dogs & had all positive interactions with them. I even tried to play with Mr. Grumpy Dog. And, yes, as you may have guessed, I never stopped wagging. Completely out of my character, though, I did not like the male Lab mix in a different foster home.

Energy Level:

High

Owner Aptitude Level:

Novice

Named for 9/11 Victim:

I was named for Lorraine Lisi.

History:

My former humans put me in an animal shelter with the excuse that they no longer had time for me. From there, I came to Pet Harbor.

Movies:

Coming soon!

Dream Home Minimum Requirements: Cute as a button or, since Easter is around the corner, a little bunny rabbit with soft chocolate eyes. Wags. That’s my nickname and claim to fame. I NEVER stop wagging. I’m a doll, a sweetheart, an easy keeper. I’ve been tossed around to so many homes recently that I pace a bit on unsure feet when I first get to a home. Noises from things like dishwashers or vacuums, those things scare me. So if you don’t want to clean house, you will have an excuse if you adopt me! I love to play – with kids and most dogs. I am a tiny girl who could easily curl up in your lap and shower you with kisses.

Valentine’s Day isn’t just for lovers. It’s for expressing love to everyone: family, friends, neighbors, strangers, pets. It’s about having love in your heart. So there’s no need for loneliness on Feb. 14. Here sisters Mya & Delilah (formerly Pet Harbor’s Elli & Nelli) show love & wish you a happy Valentine’s Day & lifetime of love!

Experience with Children:

Pet Harbor does not know my history with children. Since coming to Pet Harbor, I have met children ages 1-4. I can live with them or not. Either way is fine with me. When I met the 4yo, I gave him a kiss and let him hug me. When I met the 1yo, I let her pet me for a while, but I really spent most of my time trying to get her to open the front door.

Pet Harbor does not know my history with cats. I am new to Pet Harbor. 2/19/18, I failed my cat test and, therefore, cannot live in a home with cats.

Experience with Dogs:

Pet Harbor does not know my history with dogs. I passed my dog-dog test. Since coming to Pet Harbor, I have met multiple dogs my size of both genders and have had all positive interactions with them, though I mostly ignore them. I can live with them or without them. It makes no difference to me either way.

More About Me: I’ll keep you laughing, but my antics are continuous. I’m not a dog for the faint of heart. My humans will need to be very sharp, Johnny on the Spot. However, I will give you lots and lots of sweet kisses and continuously wag. I am absolutely the most loving dog in the entire universe. I am also the most puppified dog in the universe, far too young to be a mom. What does that mean? It means I will chew everything. All good puppies do just that! Food motivates me. So I can be easily trained using food rewards! I love children. They love me. I came to Pet Harbor pregnant. On February 20, 2018, I had 2 puppies. My baby boys have gone to new homes. My turn! My boys are cute, but I’m the whole package. Very loving, sweet as pie, waggy, comical, animated, and gorgeous.

Age (approx):

4 years old

Birthday (approx):

January 26, 2014

What am I?

Neutered male Siberian Husky

Colors:

Black & white, blue eyes

Weight:

47 pounds (as of 2/1/18)

Experience with Children:

Pet Harbor does not know my history with children. Since coming to Pet Harbor, I have met children ages newborn to 15. I have had all positive interactions with them. I sniffed and then mostly ignored the newborn.

Experience with Cats:

Pet Harbor does not know my history with cats. I do have a prey drive because, along with my brother, Brue, also available for adoption, I participated in eliminating the world of a pesky goat. On 2/7/18, Pet Harbor performed a cat test. The result is, in a word, FAIL. I cannot share my home with kitties.

Experience with Dogs:

I lived with Brue, my brother, also available for adoption. When Pet Harbor performed the first dog-dog test with another male dog, I expressed dominance behaviors. During the second dog-dog test, the interaction was issue-free. I just had my neuter surgery. Sometimes after neuter, dog-dog behaviors change. Now that I am in a foster home, Pet Harbor doesn’t understand how I ever showed dominance. I am a mush. I have been fine with other dogs in my foster home, including a 10# one. I did get in some fights with Brue over toys. He started them, but I didn’t run away. I guarded those toys like they were precious metals. With the other dogs in my foster home, there are no issues with toys. I even let my foster siblings steal my toys.

Energy Level:

Medium

Owner Aptitude Level:

Northern breed experience preferred

Named for 9/11 Victim:

I was named for Fernando Jiminez-Molina.

History:

Pet Harbor was told Brue and I were put into a shelter because our owners decided they were unable to care for us. From there, we came to Pet Harbor.

Movies:

2/6/18 – Playing and exploring my foster home with my brother Brue.

Dream Home Minimum Requirements: Secret time! My smile is my claim to fame. I approach everybody with my pearly whites and a twinkle in my eye. Who could resist? Shhh. Don’t tell anyone! Let me spring it on the unsuspecting so before they know it, I can wrap them around my paws. I’m super sweet & love to give easy kisses. I cry over squeaky toys. I have to worry about them, after all, and protect them from harm. I have a lot to learn, but I am a willing student & my foster family has taught me quite a bit, such as climbing stairs. Are you my new teacher? I hope so because it’s making me smile!
