What am I?
Neutered male Siberian husky
Colors:
Red & white, blue eyes
Weight:
55.8 pounds (as of 1/12/22)
Experience with Children:
Since coming to Pet Harbor, I have met children of many ages. I’ve been great with all of them, easy, gentle, and as sweet as I can possibly be.
Experience with Cats:
Initially, when I was introduced to cats, I ignored them. On 1/12/2022, I met 3 cats at different times. I ignored them all. Since then I’ve interacted with kitties almost every day and have been fine with them. There is one kitty who holds my interest. I have not tried to harm him, but Pet Harbor has not left me alone with him. Fast forward to April. My interest in cats, not surprisingly, has intensified. In fact, my foster mom has me now completely separated from them because, although I have not harmed them (and have not been left alone with them), I am showing an unbreakable focus on and interest in them. So to prevent potential harm, Pet Harbor has now separated me from them. On 5/7/2022, I was reintroduced to kitties and was totally fine. In fact, a video was taken of the experience. Siberian huskies tend to have a strong prey instinct and often show extreme, even fatal, aggression towards cats. Even if our evaluation is favorable, it may not translate to all cats under all circumstances.
Experience with Dogs:
When introduced to dogs at the shelter, my interaction was playful. Since coming to Pet Harbor, I have been fine with all dogs I’ve met. All the dogs I’ve met have been Siberian husky sized. While running at large, I was with Robin, also available for adoption. She likely is my sister. Before Robin’s eye surgery, she depended on me to guide her. I was happiest when with her. I was her seeing-eye dog. We make a fantastic pair. We would like to be placed with a family together, but it is more important that we get families than that we get a family together. We were much more bonded before I had my surgery because Robin depended on me more.

More About Me: Super sweet, I’m a teddy bear. Fifty-five pounds of melt-in-your-arms fur. My foster mom is madly in love with me because she says I’m a happy and handsome teddy with the biggest heart in the universe. Isn’t how I took care of my little sister adorable? Doesn’t everybody want a big brother like me? My sister met with her ophthalmologist February 7 and had surgeries. We are ready to find homes. While we would love to find our family together, it’s more important that we find families than that we find one together. We are a super wonderful pair. The one thing everybody notices about me after they see what a wonderful brother I am is how I have this cute “squeak and wag” thing going on. While I’m playing with my squeaky toys, I simultaneously am wagging. In fact, Robin & I never stop wagging.
