What am I?

Spayed female Siberian husky

Colors:

Black & white, brown eyes

Weight:

51 pounds (as of 12/4/2024)

Experience with Children:

Pet Harbor does not know my history with children. Since coming to Pet Harbor, I have been very gentle with and loving towards the children I have met.

Experience with Cats:

Pet Harbor does not know my history with cats. On 12/15/2024, Pet Harbor introduced me to cats. I barked at the cats and showed more interest than the volunteers hoped to see. So it’s probably best I have a cat-free home.

Experience with Dogs:

Pet Harbor does not know my history with dogs except that I was found stray with Kevi, also available for adoption, who perhaps is my littermate, and that I was great with other dogs when evaluated in a shelter before coming to Pet Harbor. Since coming to Pet Harbor, I have been great with all dogs I’ve met. They’ve all been around my size.

Running at large with Kevi, also available for adoption, I landed in an animal shelter. From there, I came to Pet Harbor.

More About Me: Picture a cute little flower girl walking down the aisle tossing flowers left and right. That’s me. Just as sweet as I can be, easy, gentle, soft, quiet. All I really need is someone to catch the beautiful flowers I toss. Are you that person for me? Oh, maybe there’s one more thing you should know. I love to have my belly scratched. I will unexpectedly slink into position.

I went to my forever home on November 9, 2024!

More About Me: Easy keeper. I’m not a big fan of crates, but I really don’t need them. I do nothing wrong when left alone in my foster home. I’m a snuggler, a cuddler, a lover. I play well with dogs and people. Male Siberian huskies are supposed to be between 45 and 60. Many in shelters and rescue are really big. I’m on the small side of that scale, which is just perfect my foster mom says. Actually, she says I’m perfect in all ways.

Fundraising goal has been met!!!

Rocha needs your help. Rocha came to Pet Harbor from a suburban animal shelter on the day she was scheduled to be euthanized. After she came to us, we discovered she had a tumor. On September 10th, Rocha visited her veterinarian, who recommended the tumor be removed and biopsied. An estimate was provided of $1,384.

Pet Harbor is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) animal rescue organization. We are a breed-specific rescue organization for Siberian huskies. We are volunteer-based and run by donation. We have a network of foster homes throughout Virginia and the surrounding area. Since the COVID pandemic, adoptions have decreased and donations have dwindled. Frankly, Pet Harbor cannot afford Rocha’s surgery, which is why she needs your help. We saved her from death. Now we need your help to get her healthy.

Rocha is expected to be at our September 14 adoption event if you want to stop by and meet her!

To donate, please click the button below, or mail a check to:

and indicate it is for the Rocha-Raiser.

What am I?

Neutered male Siberian husky

Colors:

Weight:

66 pounds (as of 3/15/2025)

Experience with Children:

Pet Harbor does not know my history with children. Since coming to Pet Harbor, I have met children of all ages and have been great with them.

Experience with Cats:

Pet Harbor does not know my history with cats. On 8/11/2024, Pet Harbor introduced me to cats. It was a pretty swift verdict. I cannot live with cats and keep cats safe.

Experience with Dogs:

Pet Harbor does not know my history with dogs except that I was great with them when evaluated in a shelter before coming to Pet Harbor. When I first got to Pet Harbor, I ruffled my feathers with dogs. Now sometimes, I play well with them, but most of the time I feel the need to ruffle my feathers. All of those dogs are around my size. I have not reacted well to small dogs.

More About Me: I’m a head scratcher for sure. My foster dad simply cannot understand how I am homeless. He says I’m an awesome dog, an easy, issue-free keeper. So who knows why I am homeless? I’m big on snuggling & cuddling. I don’t want much. A warm bed, someone to love me, a bit of food, and snuggle time. That’s not really asking for much, is it? Oh, about my age, when stray dogs go to animal shelters, they or their veterinarians make a guesstimate of dogs’ ages. There is no way to know for sure. The age listed here is what the shelter guessed. My current veterinarian thinks I’m a year or two older than that. But whatever age I am, I certainly want birthday snuggles every year! I truly am fabulous with people. If you are looking for perfection, there’s no reason for you to look further.

I went to my forever home on October 13, 2024!

What am I?

Neutered male Siberian husky

Colors:

Black & white wooly, blue eyes

Weight:

64 pounds (as of 8/27/2024)

Experience with Children:

Pet Harbor does not know my history with children. Since coming to Pet Harbor, I have been great with all children I’ve met.

Experience with Cats:

Pet Harbor does not know my history with cats. On 8/27/2024, Pet Harbor briefly introduced me to cats. I sniffed and went on my merry way. A bit later, I seemed more interested but also was easily distracted. Bottom line: Pet Harbor cannot say definitively I am good with cats, but there is hope. On 10/12/2024, Pet Harbor introduced me again to a kitty. I sniffed ktity. Kitty swatted me. I charged kitty. So probably it’s not a good idea for me to live with kitties.

Experience with Dogs:

Pet Harbor does not know my history with dogs except that I was great with them when evaluated in a shelter before coming to Pet Harbor. Since coming to Pet Harbor, I’ve been great with the dogs I’ve met. I’ve immediately engaged in play with all of them. They are all around my size. There is a male in my foster home who ruffles his feathers. I won’t engage. I walk away from him. Wouldn’t it be great if humans would learn that trick?

Named for 9/11 Victim:

History:

Running at large, I landed in an animal shelter. The shelter found my owner, who did not retrieve me. From there, I came to Pet Harbor.

More About Me: So before I say what I have to say, I need to explain what I mean by it. Does that even make sense? I am kind and polite. I in the Siberian husky world could be considered boring. That’s the part I need to explain. I’m not boring. I enjoy having fun like the rest of them. I just am polite and kind about it. That makes me more easily adoptable than the others, don’t you think? I guess when my coat comes back in, I’ll be a handsome guy as well – not that I’m not handsome now, but then I’ll be the cat’s meow. Do you youngsters know what that means? If not, go visit the Googlictionary. Then come back and pet me. I’ll be politely waiting.

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.

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.
