What am I?
Spayed female Siberian Husky
Colors:
Red & white, blue eyes
Weight:
37 pounds (as of 5/11/18)
Experience with Children:
Though unverifiable, Pet Harbor was told I was raised in a home with children. Since coming to Pet Harbor, I have met two children: an infant and a preschooler. My interactions with them have all been positive.
Experience with Cats:
Pet Harbor does not know my history with cats. On 6/15, Pet Harbor cat-tested me. I sniffed the kitty. Kitty swatted me. I backed away but maintained a focus. Yet, I was able to be distracted from kitty easily. So Pet Harbor would say I passed the preliminary cat test.
Experience with Dogs:
Pet Harbor was told I came from a house with several dogs, where I was used as a breeding machine. I passed my dog-dog tests. Since coming to Pet Harbor, my interactions with other dogs have been all positive. At first, I ignored them. After a few days, I started playing with them. Now I play continuously. River and Ann, also available for adoption, are my BFFs.
Energy Level:
Medium-High
Owner Aptitude Level:
Northern breed experience preferred
Named for 9/11 Victim:
I was named for Bernard D. Favuzza.
History:
Several dogs, myself included, were taken from our home and held by animal control at an animal shelter. When we were able to be released, two of us, my son Paz, also available for adoption; and I, came to Pet Harbor.
Movies:
  1. 5/26/18 – Meeting a new dog, outside.
  2. 5/26/18 – Meeting a new dog, inside.
  3. 5/26/18 – Possession guarding test.
  4. 5/26/18 – I passed my food guarding test, too.

More About Me: Please vote for me! I’m the best politician there is. I’m also a great orator, albeit a melodious one. I have a beautiful singing voice, and I love to release it! I kiss all the babies, and wag at all the grownups. Isn’t that what all good politicians do? I’ve never met a stranger and have no enemies. There’s not a lot more to say. I am all-around great! I have this cute little wigglebutt thing going on to get your attention. Oh, I guess I should tell you that, true to my breed, my favorite pastime is digging. And if you want to adopt two, Paz and I would be fabulous together! We do not HAVE to go together, but it will benefit everybody if we do.

What am I?
Neutered male Pomsky
Colors:
White, blue eyes
Weight:
15 pounds (as of 5/11/18)
Experience with Children:
Though unverifiable, Pet Harbor was told I was raised in a home with children. Since coming to Pet Harbor, I have met two children: an infant and a preschooler. Except when I am crated, my experiences with them have all been positive. They’re a lot like me: puppies. So we have fun together!
Experience with Cats:
Pet Harbor does not know my history with cats, but as a young pup, I probably had no issues with cats. On 6/12/18, Pet Harbor performed a test for cat-friendliness, which I passed with flying colors. I see cats as I see dogs: friends and playmates.
Experience with Dogs:
Pet Harbor was told I came from a house with several dogs. I passed my dog-dog tests. Since coming to Pet Harbor, my interactions with other dogs have been all positive; in fact, so positive, Pet Harbor will only let me go to live in a home with at least one other dog for me to have a playmate. In fact, if you want to adopt a pair of dogs, the best companion for me would be my mother, Favuzza, also available for adoption.
Energy Level:
High
Owner Aptitude Level:
Experience required with dogs who have behavior differences
Named for 9/11 Victim:
I was named for Patrice Paz. Also, my name originates in Latin, meaning peaceful, quiet, and tranquil. Though my history wasn’t peaceful, my name reflects a hope that my future will be.
History:
Several dogs, myself included, were taken from our home and held by animal control at an animal shelter. When we were able to be released, two of us, my mother, Favuzza, also available for adoption; and I, came to Pet Harbor.
Movies:
  1. 5/26/18 – Ball, ball, ball!
  2. 5/26/18 – I’m so polite, even with a bone.
  3. 5/26/18 – I passed my food guarding test!

More About Me: Everyone really wishes they knew my history so they could figure out why I have such a split personality. I am a normal, happy, playful, bubbly, kissy puppy, but if I am crated or cornered, I become defensive. That’s why I need a family who will understand and work with me. Food-motivated, I am easy to train. Check out my videos. You’ll see how happy and peppy I am. Did I mention kissy? Oh, so kissy I am! Filled to the brim with love. My favorite toy is — well, I love them all: toys, dogs, children, adults. They’re all my favorite toys.
