What am I?
Neutered male Siberian husky
Colors:
Black & white, blue eyes
Weight:
41 pounds (as of 12/11/2022)
Experience with Children:
Pet Harbor does not know my history with children. I am brand new to Pet Harbor. But since coming to Pet Harbor, I have met children up to age 9 and have been great with them. I give them gentle kisses.
Experience with Cats:
Pet Harbor does not know my history with cats. On October 15, 2022, Pet Harbor briefly introduced me to cats. I was focused on them but was also easily distracted. On October 24, I was reintroduced, and it didn’t go so well. I ignored the kitties until they got close to me. Then I snapped at them. So for their safety, I cannot live with kitties.
Experience with Dogs:
All Pet Harbor knows of my history with dogs is I was left alongside the road with Karol, who already found her home. When evaluated at the shelter before coming to Pet Harbor, I was playful with other dogs. I am brand new to Pet Harbor. When more information is learned, it will be posted here.
Energy Level:
High
Owner Aptitude Level:

Named for 9/11 Victim:
History:
Along with Karol, who found a home already, I was found alongside the road with a “Free” sign. After waiting out the required time in an animal shelter, we came to Pet Harbor.

More About Me: What does a puppy do? Puts everything in his mouth. That’s how you know I’m all puppy. I chew! Toys, lots of toys, are the solution. I love them! Also, like Mary’s lamb, I follow you to school one day or wherever you go. At least that’s what i do with my foster mom. It’s pretty cool when she stops her chores and things because then I get cuddles, and I do love cuddles!

Experience with Children:
Pet Harbor does not know my history with children. Since coming to Pet Harbor, I have met children up to age 9 and have been great with them.
Experience with Cats:
Pet Harbor does not know my history with cats. On 9/14/2022, I was briefly introduced to cats. Because of my extreme energy level, the cats weren’t fans, but I did not try to hurt them. On 10/30/2022, I was reintroduced to them. This time, all bets were off. I went after them with a vengeance. No kitties for my home.
Experience with Dogs:
Pet Harbor does not know my history with dogs. When evaluated at the shelter before coming to Pet Harbor, I was fine with other dogs except my energy level was too much for a small dog. Since coming to Pet Harbor, I have met male & female dogs of all sizes and have been great with all of them. My energy level has not been an issue with them. Christine, who found her home already, was my foster sister and my BFF. We played a lot.
Energy Level:
High
Owner Aptitude Level:
Young Northern breed experience required
Named for 9/11 Victim:

Running at large, I landed in a county shelter. My owner did not reclaim me. From there, I came to Pet Harbor.

  4. 11/5/2022 – Crisscross

More About Me: Oh, I know all of those other dogs will tell you they’re the sweetest dogs in the world, but that’s not true. I am. And I’m the happiest. And I’m the cutest. And I’m the most lovable. I’m so cute, little, loving, and adorable that it’s like I’m Charmin. You just wanna squeeze. And it’s okay with me. Nothing bothers me. Everything is roses for me.

More About Me: Siberian huskies are working dogs. I’m a working dog. My title is that of bedwarmer. I take my job seriously, though I have been caught sleeping on the job.

I’m a pretty calm dog, calmer than my age would suggest. Lest you think I am a lazy dog with no energy, let me tell you about the rabbit who lives in my neighborhood. The race is on! And playing with other dogs, of course, I have that Siberian energy level.

Another thing I do really well is hugs. I stand up with my paws placed gently on someone’s chest and let them put their arms around me. No chance of being sad around me. I can easily fix that problem.

Oh, one more secret I can tell you. The way to my heart. Food. What is my favorite? A good, juicy slab of steak with a side of bacon. Yum!

More About Me: In my foster home, I have been super sweet and happy. I give my foster family kisses, but they are soft kisses. I have been so gentle, the children I’ve met in the foster home love me. When they have stopped giving me attention, I have gently pawed at them until they focus on me. So c’mon. Let’s run, jump, and play and then take some snuggle/belly scratch breaks!

More About Me: If you would be so kind as to allow me to interrupt your activities for just a moment, kind sirs and ma’ams? Perhaps I went to charm school in my early years because my foster parents say I’m a polite gal. After all, I am a lady. Why, if you look closely enough, you might even see me curtsy! Well, at least you might believe I’ll sit pretty and give paw. In foster care, I’ve enjoyed going on walks, at least until we see some wildlife, at which point I enjoy taking my humans for rides! Now that you know my basics, perhaps you will allow me to show you my manners.

More About Me: Are you my lullaby person? What is that, you ask? It’s my claim to fame or claim to cuteness, to be more precise. My claim to fame is when I am restless, all it takes is one soft “Time for sleep” from my foster mom in her sweet, lullaby voice, and I immediately start yawning and put my head on my furry arm pillow. Do you think my claim to fame is as adorable as I think it is? While I am shy, I have definitely been coming to my foster mom now that I have been with her a bit. So I’m not as shy as I was at first. I also love to be carried and sitting in laps. Though shy, my tail is always wagging. Another cute thing about me, I clumsily run and fall around the house, entertaining for sure! Oh, and, boy, do I love to talk. Not only when I am ready to start my days but also interacting with other dogs, I am the loudest! I mean, don’t I have to be sure my voice is heard? I sing well, too. Can you keep a secret? I’m practicing for fame! I want my pawprint at Grauman’s! Oh, and did you know Siberians need an occupation? I have one! Don’t tell anyone because I fear they might try to stop me from doing my job. My occupation is that of a flip flop exterminator. And I do it well. Very well. My foster mom has held funerals for six pairs so far. But who is counting?
