What am I?
Spayed female Siberian husky
Colors:
Black & white, blue eyes
Weight:
43 pounds (as of 9/10/2024)
Experience with Children:
Pet Harbor does not know my history with children. On 9/14/2024, I met children up to age 11. I was fine with them, and they enjoy me because I am super easy and gentle with them.
Experience with Cats:
Pet Harbor does not know my history with cats. On 9/14/2024, Pet Harbor introduced me to kitties. I had the best reaction Pet Harbor has ever seen to kitties. I am completely unfazed by them. Siberian huskies tend to have a strong prey instinct and often show extreme, even fatal, aggression towards cats. Even if Pet Harbor’s evaluation is favorable, it may not translate to all cats under all circumstances.
Experience with Dogs:
Pet Harbor was told I came from a home with a small dog and that I was not good with that small dog. When evaluated before coming to Pet Harbor, I was fine with my interactions with dogs except I growled when a dog was in my face. Pet Harbor learned I have a cataract in one eye, which likely contributed to the growling.
Energy Level:
Low
Owner Aptitude Level:
Novice
Named for 9/11 Victim:
I was named for Antonio A. Rocha.
History:
Running at large, I landed in an animal shelter. I was returned to my owners. This happened at least three times. Then my owners surrendered me because they said I had an issue with their small dog. We don’t know what the truth is. All we know is I was in the shelter multiple times. From there, I came to Pet Harbor.

More About Me: Bar none, the easiest Siberian ever. Seriously. Perfect for newbies, perfect for those who want a non-difficult Sibe. I think the takeaway word here is “perfect.” Besides being easy, I am super sweet. Also, I am a melodious talker. September 10, I visited the veterinarian. We learned I am about 6-8 years old. So Pet Harbor will split the difference and call me 7. Also, I have a mammary tumor that as soon as it is financially able to do so, Pet Harbor will have removed and biopsied. Rocha-raiser information coming soon if you would like to donate! As for my vision, I have a cataract in one eye. It isn’t bad and will per veterinary advice be left alone at this time. If you are looking for an easy Siberian, which isn’t a common thing, I’m your gal! See? Perfect.
