More About Me: You are welcome to call me Little Red Riding Hood if you want, but you won’t find a Big Bad Wolf in my story. I’m so tolerant that I’d play even with a Big Bad Wolf or an annoying little wolf or a high-energy rough player like Ronnie, who since I practice unconditional love is my BFF. Ronnie is also available for adoption. Prior to Ronnie, I had other BFFs. So after Ronnie, I’ll find new ones. Just as long as there is a dog who will play with me, it’s all good. My story can end happily ever after. In my case, that happiness was acquired. Because of how my story started, I’m a tad hesitant with people but just a tad. I’m learning how to be normal or should I say just how to be. The circle on my back where hair is missing was where a cyst like a large pimple was removed. It’s nothing, and it’s gone. So if you can help me find my lost mittens . . . oh, wait. That’s a different nursery rhyme. Forget the three kittens and help me find some playmates or maybe just the picnic basket.

More About Me: Hi. Please sit down next to me. Thank you so much. Don’t mind me. I just have to kiss you and then kiss you some more and more and more and more. That’s my job. I’m the manager of the Kissing Department. I do have a part-time job. It’s as a substitute mother. You see, other dogs take comfort in my “mothering” skills. There is an elderly female Dachshund in my foster home. She can be a pistol. She’s also a toy thief. But she seeks me out for my advice and mothering love. I even groom her so she feels content. Nova, another Pet Harbor dog available for adoption, has to be close to me so he feels content. And that’s my job, to make sure everyone (other dogs, humans, you) feels mothered. We’re not sure of my age. It’s just a guess. My foster mom thinks I’m probably 3 or 4. Sometimes I am calm & relaxed. Sometimes I’m energetic & playful. Given my beginnings, it’s no surprise that I’m having to learn what “normal” is. For example, my foster mom is teaching me the pile of toys should be the target of my chewing and the door trim should not. So if you are ready for lots of kissing, I’m the gal for you if (big “if”) you can get me away from my foster mom.

More About Me: Guess what my foster parents recently learned about me. I love car rides! Unfortunately, they don’t let me drive, but I’ll settle for riding. So are you someone who likes Sunday driving? Got treats? Got another dog? Have patience & love? The one major thing to learn about me is my shyness. My history taught me to be cautious of humans. I will stand next to people and am learning to allow them to pet me. Sometimes I run from them. They have to come to me to pet me, but each day I get more & more comfortable. Because my foster mom spends more time at home than my foster dad, I come to her more often. My foster mom describes my shyness like this. “He is still willing to come up and sniff/lick but he doesn’t like you to move while he’s sniffing. It seems as if he really wants attention, but he doesn’t know how to receive it.” See my video above from May 6. It is there to show you just how shy I am to make sure my adopters will understand. Heck, I’m even afraid of puddles of water. The pandemic may have closed schools, but it sure didn’t stop my learning. Not only am I learning to be a dog, but I’m also learning basic life. If your life began as mine did, you’d be the same way. I am learning a lot and continue to progress. Also, I’m very much bonded to other dogs, all sizes, both genders. Since I am happiest around them, I’m learning a great deal from them. As my foster mom puts it, I thrive around other dogs and have a puppy-like desire to play with them. Treats also help. After all, in my former life, I was deprived of food. At the time of my rescue, I weighed only 23 pounds. So treats are a good reward for me. The more distance I put between the situation from which I came and me, the more things improve for me. I didn’t understand how to be normal, how to walk on a leash, how to do most things that come naturally to the majority of dogs. I’m learning. In my foster home, I now easily walk outside on a leash. I’m learning the things with which I’m allowed to play (toys) and things with which I’m not allowed to play. I’ve decided furniture makes for good napping spots and the floor is for regular dogs. I’m a puppy thief. No, I don’t steal puppies. I am like a puppy, and I steal. Steal what you ask? Well, I love my toys. I will steal non-toy things, such as slippers and towels, and designate them as toys. Some usual Siberian traits (prey drive, escapism) don’t fit on my resume. Others . . . well, I have to be a Siberian sometime. I’m so cute, though. You can’t help but laugh at me, and my foster parents say I’m really funny. Maybe standup will be my goal. Progress is progress, but it takes baby steps to get there. The rewards to humans are immense when a shy dog trusts. The journey to that point is taken by people who are kind, patient, knowledgeable, and understanding. Is that you?

More About Me: What an ideal time for me to be looking for a home. They tell me I can’t go to school with children, something about only lambs can go to Mary’s school. Since I can’t go to school with them, what a wonderful thing schools are closed! I adore children. I don’t go up to grownups for love, but I let them come to me with love. If you read about my beginnings, you will understand why. Children, however, steal my heart. I do go to them, seeking out love from them. The other leftover from my beginnings is sometimes I spin, chasing my tail. Well, living in a crate, one has to learn to creative ways to pass the time. That crate life is probably why I love the great outdoors as well. Like most of the dogs Pet Harbor has from the same beginning, I find solace with other dogs. I’m not a fan of bones, balls, or toys. Cheap date, huh? So if you have a bit of patience, one or more child(ren), one or more dog(s), maybe a dog bed, and some good walking/running shoes, let’s go home.

More About Me: Information coming soon.

More About Me: Wanted: A family and a home. Must include at least one lap my family doesn’t mind sharing. I hope my home has at least one dog, but if it doesn’t, I will entertain myself. If there is a dog in my home, it should be a dog who doesn’t mind my rough play style. Other Siberians understand and enjoy that style. My family should enjoy cuddles & kisses because I’ve got plenty to share. By day, I play. All day. By night, I snuggle on laps. It seems the only lasting effect of my bad beginnings is I can’t get enough love & attention. Hey, a gal can make up for lost time, can’t she?

- 4/22/20 – Where did they go?!
More About Me: Of course, I am like all the rest of the puppies in the universe. Cute. Cuddly. Untrained. Full of sharp teeth and nails. Lots of pottying everywhere. Puppy breath. Cute little “woos.” Mischievous. Sleepy. Playful. Not a care in the world. Clay to mold. But guess what. We do grow up! Felix is my litter mate. I am more mischievous than he is. I will find trouble. Maybe I am trouble. I have a magnetic attraction to whatever is in the room that’s supposed to be off limits to me. I don’t dart out doors, though. So that means my brother is the bad one. I’m the good one. At the time this bio is being written, I am anatomically not ready to be neutered. As soon as I am, I will be neutered. I can be adopted now, but I cannot go to my new home until after I am neutered. Pet Harbor has very strict policies with regard to puppy adoptions to ensure that we have forever homes. Oh, and my eyes are subject to change, too, but right now, they are sort of a bluish, grayish, goldish color.

Cute little “woos.” Mischievous. Sleepy. Playful. Not a care in the world. Clay to mold. But guess what. We do grow up! Finnegan is my litter mate. I am more curious than he is. If there is an open door, I need to go through it to find out what is on the other side. How else could I really know? Curiosity may have killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back. Plus, I’m not a cat. So that means my brother is the bad one. I’m the good one. At the time this bio is being written, I am anatomically not ready to be neutered. As soon as I am, I will be neutered.

Oh, and my eyes are subject to change, too, but right now, they are sort of a greenish, blueish, goldish color.

More About Me: Put in a bowl sweetness, love, all things puppy, energy, playfulness, quietness when crated, another dog or two. Mix it all up. What do you have? Ronnie. Something else you should know about me, I might just curl up in your lap and not move. So whether you wanted to do some gardening or walking or, well, pretty much anything else, you can forget it. My gardening is planting myself on your lap, and that’s that. I’m such a happy, energetic gal & already had surgery for laryngeal paralysis. Since it happened to me at such a young age, it was probably inherited. I’m fine, though. If you want to know what it was I had, I heard there’s this thing called Google. I think that’s a funny word. Maybe I can eat it right off the page!

More About Me: MY 2014 BIO: Sweet as I can be and bear cub-like in looks. Tail or no tail, I am a true Siberian Husky. I am a beautiful lady. Fantastic dog for a family with children. Gentle, sweet, and loving.
MY 2020 BIO: My occupation is that of a cheerleader because I have a built-in pompom and because I am a Chatty Cathy. If you are too young to know what a Chatty Cathy is, check it out on Google. The vet said I was likely born with my pompom tail. Nobody knows why, but it’s as cute as can be, isn’t it? For exercise, we can go swimming. I love swimming or taking long walks! I love naptime, too, but before I nap, I might put on my scientist hat and dissect some dog toys. And where it said in 2014 I was gentle, sweet, and loving, those are still good descriptors for me. I’m confused because I finally had what I thought was my forever dad & home. Then he went away to a different world, and I don’t understand. Please let my next home be my last one.
