What am I?

Neutered male Siberian Husky

Colors:

Red & white, blue eyes

Weight:

9 pounds (as of 3/17/20)

Experience with Children:

I’m a puppy. Great with everything, subject to change as I get older.

Experience with Cats:

Pet Harbor does not place puppies to live with cats because Siberian Huskies commonly are not cat-friendly as they age. Pet Harbor only places adult Siberian Huskies who have tested cat-friendly to live with cats.

Experience with Dogs:

I’m a puppy. Great with everything, subject to change as I get older. Finnegan is my litter mate.

Energy Level:

High

Owner Aptitude Level:

Young Northern breed experience required

Named for 9/11 Victim:

I was named for Felix (Bobby) Calixte.

History:

Along with several others available for adoption, we came from a horrible beginning, yet are amazingly grateful for love. Thankfully, we were seized by the authorities. Our humans were put in jail. We went to the shelter, then the SPCA, and then came to Pet Harbor, each an important piece of our journey to safety. Read more about our beginning, including watching a video, at https://www.wcnc.com/article/life/animals/25-huskies-recovering-after-living-in-awful-conditions/275-0ff0da89-97fb-472e-a7be-afc6d28b58bc.

Movies:

4/22/20 – Three-ring circus!
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! 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. 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 greenish, blueish, goldish color.

What am I?

Spayed female Siberian Husky

Colors:

Red & white, blue eyes

Weight:

19 pounds (as of 3/20/20)

Experience with Children:

Because I am a puppy and use my mouth in play, which can easily tear fragile skin, like young skin or old skin, small children would not be a good idea for my home.

Experience with Cats:

I was introduced to cats before coming to Pet Harbor and was fine with them. However, please see Pet Harbor’s puppy policy. Since puppies can change their reactions to cats, adult Siberians who have been introduced to cats and shown no negative response are the best Siberians for homes with cats.

Experience with Dogs:

My best friend is Pena, also available for adoption. We play all day every day except when we’re refueling (sleeping). My new home will have at least one dog with a similar energy level to mine.

Energy Level:

High

Owner Aptitude Level:

Young Northern breed experience required

Named for 9/11 Victim:

I was named for Lt. Ronnie E. Gies.

History:

First, running at large, I landed in a Virginia animal shelter. Then I was transferred to another Virginia shelter. From there, I came to Pet Harbor.

Movies:

4/14/20 – Rough or Ruff, just the way I like it!

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!

I went to my forever home on May 13, 2020!

What am I?

Spayed female Siberian Husky

Colors:

Red & white, blue eyes

Weight:

57 pounds (as of 3/26/2020)

Experience with Children:

Pet Harbor was told I am great with children. I haven’t been around children yet since being returned to Pet Harbor.

Experience with Cats:

Pet Harbor was told I am not good with cats.

Experience with Dogs:

I’m great with the dogs in my foster home, small & large, both genders. Oddly, I seem to prefer the company of the small female dog.

Energy Level:

Medium-Low

Owner Aptitude Level:

Novice

Named for 9/11 Victim:

I was named for Dorota Kopiczko.

History:

Originally I was given up because I dig. Imagine that, a Siberian Husky who digs. I was adopted and returned 1.5 years later because “can no longer care for her,” whatever that means. Hope they kept their human children. Then I found another home. Well, 4.5 years later, my dad got an incurable cancer and left this Earth, leaving me homeless once again.

4/12/2020 – This Way & That Way

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.

What am I?

Neutered male Husky mix

Colors:

Black & white, parti-eyed (both blue & brown in each eye)

Weight:

95 pounds (as of 2/19/2020)

Experience with Children:

Pet Harbor was told I lived with children and am gentle with even young children. Since coming to Pet Harbor, I have met children of all ages. I romp and play with them like I’m one of them, but I’ve been surprisingly gentle with them. I’m just a big goofball. I did knock down a 6yo child because I’m just so big and clumsy and full of love. The child wasn’t very happy about that but forgave me when I batted my eyelashes.

Experience with Cats:

On 3/15/20, Pet Harbor introduced me to cats. I ignored them. Siberian Huskies, which is 50% of me, 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:

Pet Harbor was told I lived with other dogs & was fine with them. I am all about play. I play all day long. If there are other dogs, I will play with them all day long. If not, I’ll still find play. Boy dogs don’t understand me because I am big and clumsy, and I get right in their faces & don’t back down. But the ladies! That’s a different story altogether. If there are girl dogs around, you’ll find me always right in their midst. And the more, the merrier. Shai, also available for adoption, is my very best friend, but don’t for one second think I’m monogamous. Pet Harbor has no clue how I am with small dogs. The best home for me will have a medium or larger female dog.

Energy Level:

Medium-High

Owner Aptitude Level:

Young Northern breed experience required

Named for 9/11 Victim:

I was named for A. Todd Rancke.

History:

The story was I was put into a county animal shelter because my family moved into a townhouse and decided I was too noisy to take since my prior neighbors complained about my voice. However, Pet Harbor uncovered more to the story. From the shelter, I came to Pet Harbor.

Movies:

Coming soon!

More About Me: Pet Harbor does not take mixed breeds but was told I am a Siberian Husky. Then when I came to Pet Harbor, they found out I am something for sure but not a purebred Siberian Husky. I am a big galoot, as goofy as they come, for sure, an overgrown puppy who likes bending down to kiss little children. For those of you who remember Marmaduke, I certainly am not a Great Dane, like Marmaduke was, but I have the goofiness and the long legs! I’m really funny. Like an innocent child, I haven’t a concern in the world. I’m really all about fun and games. I bounce around, galloping, as it were. I’ll pick up a big ball, toss it in the air, turn on a dime, and go off in another direction towards other play. I really am such fun. I don’t really understand boy dogs. If they have something to say to me (like a growl or a snarl), I go right up in their faces and loudly ask, “Are you talking to me?” See? I’m all puppy, big puppy but puppy nonetheless. If you are interested in adopting me, understand additional qualifications and circumstances apply.

What am I?

Neutered male Siberian Husky

Colors:

Grey & white, brown eyes

Weight:

37 pounds (as of 3/10/2020)

Experience with Children:

Information coming soon.

Experience with Cats:

In my foster home, I chase the kitties. One kitty wants nothing to do with me, so I play with the other kitty. 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:

Pet Harbor does not know my history with dogs. Since coming to Pet Harbor and meeting other dogs, I play nonstop with them. I love them!

Energy Level:

High

Owner Aptitude Level:

Named for 9/11 Victim:

I was named for Joseph Piskadlo.

History:

I was signed over to a veterinary clinic by my former owner. From there, I came to Pet Harbor.

Movies:

Coming soon!

More About Me: I’m 100% puppy in behavior. If you read above, you will see a theme: play. I play all the time. Let me repeat – all the time. That means I’ll steal & chew whatever I can reach with my paws. There is some question about my age. According to my former owner, my birthday would be November 11, 2019, but my vet thinks I’m about a year old. So Pet Harbor split the difference.

What am I?

Spayed female Siberian Husky

Colors:

Black & white, bi-eyed (one blue eye, one brown eye)

Weight:

45 pounds (as of 3/26/2020)

Experience with Children:

Since coming to Pet Harbor, I have met children up to age 6. All interactions have been positive.

Experience with Cats:

On 3/12/20, Pet Harbor introduced me to cats. I showed entirely too much interest in them. The best home for me will be cat-free.

Experience with Dogs:

Since coming to Pet Harbor, I have met several other dogs, around my size or larger. My interactions with most of them have been positive. Shai, another female available for adoption, is my BFF, and I play with Todd, also available for adoption, and Shai all the time, but together Shai and I occasionally have been antagonistic to submissive females.
I play the field, though. I have an alternate BFF now: Darya.

Named for 9/11 Victim:

I was named for David Reed Gamboa Brandhorst.

History:

Running at large, I landed in an animal shelter. My owners were located & chose not to retrieve me. After serving my time at the shelter, I came to Pet Harbor.

Movies:

3/12/20 – The art or the science of the chase!

More About Me: I’m an amazing gal. Even I will tell you that! I am also cute & goofy & playful. I am so cute you won’t care if I have selective hearing. Watching me play is loads of fun. I’m a doll. No, not like Barbie. I like to snuggle and spend time with dogs or people and play and have fun and play some more. Funny thing is Pet Harbor was initially told I was a boy. Not that it matters, but I’m not a boy. I am 100% Siberian girl puppy. That’s what I am!

What am I?

Neutered male Siberian Husky

Colors:

Black & white, brown eyes

Weight:

42 pounds (as of 3/10/20)

Experience with Children:

Pet Harbor was told I lived with small children in my last home and was great with them. Since coming to Pet Harbor, I have met children of all ages. I adore them, and they adore me. They seem to like how sweet & gentle I am.

Experience with Cats:

On 3/14/20, Pet Harbor introduced me to cats. I barked incessantly, wagging my tail, and pawed at them to invite play. The cats wanted no parts of my exuberance. So the introduction was pretty short. 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:

Pet Harbor was told I am great with other dogs. Since coming to Pet Harbor, I have met several dogs around my size or larger. I have been great with the lady canines. In fact, I’m more at ease when there’s at least one other dog nearby, not that I’m uncomfortable alone. It’s just I love playing so very much with those of like body, it seems to be an added relaxant, kind of like Calgon in the bathwater. . . . or so I’m told. So yes, I love to play with the ladies a lot. I’m a Casanova. Boys, well, some are okay, some are not.

Named for 9/11 Victim:

I was named for Sergeant Rodney C. Gillis, NYPD.

History:

I was running at large and landed in an animal shelter. I was adopted. Due to allergies, I was then placed in rescue.

Movies:

3/12/20 – The art or the science of the chase!

More About Me: OMG, I am so cute. How do I know that? My foster mom says that over & over again! She’s like a broken record. I’m one of those young pups everybody loves. I’m so squeezably cute and soft and cuddly and easy and gentle and quiet and happy and full of life and love. There’s just really nothing to dislike. What more can I possibly say? The very best home for me either has a female dog around my size living in it or at least one I will get to see frequently. Pretty much anything else goes. And did I tell you I’m cute? Another thing my foster mom says is my soft kisses are to die for.

Neutered male Siberian Husky

Colors:

Weight:

48 pounds (as of 2/27/20)

Experience with Children:

Since coming to Pet Harbor, I’ve met several children of all ages. I’ve been great with all of them.

Experience with Cats:

Pet Harbor has not introduced me to cats yet. When they do, the information will be posted here.

Experience with Dogs:

When introduced to dogs in the shelter, I had all positive reactions. Since coming to Pet Harbor, I haven’t met a dog I haven’t loved.

Named for 9/11 Victim:

I was named for Robert L. Cruikshank.

History:

Tied to a tree by a leash, I chewed through the leash. From there, I went to an animal shelter. They located my owners. My owners did not fetch me. So, from there, I came to Pet Harbor.

Movies:

3/7/20 – Darya on the left, Hank on the right!
3/8/20 – Someone, anyone, please play with me!
3/8/20 – A broken leg can’t keep me down
3/10/20 – Come on! Somebody Wake Up and play with Hank!
3/10/20 – Sweet music by Hank & the Quartet!

More About Me: Man, I need to be the poster child for champion. Don’t sweat the small stuff. That’s my motto. Loads & loads of fun, I am. Love. I love dogs. I love people. I’m all about having fun. For sure, there is no such thing as a bad day when Hank’s in town. Since all good Siberians need a job, mine is protection. Since idle paws are the devil’s workshop, I protect my fellow canines (and humans) from being afflicted with idle paws. You know that thing called sleep? That’s really just breeding ground for idle paws. So I’ll surely wake you. It’s in my job description. Also, I sometimes like to chew things. After consulting vets & knowing my puppylike personality & pearly white teeth, Pet Harbor thinks I’m around 1.5 years old. Do you have dogs who share my levels of energy & love who live with you or visit frequently who would love to play with me? If not, that’s okay, too, because I love humans just as much. I think I’m a lap dog, too. My left rear leg was fractured at some point in my past. On the X-ray, my leg looks awful. Check out my videos, though, & you’ll see it doesn’t faze me one iota. After consulting our vets, it was determined the best course of action is to do nothing. The fracture is not new. So surgery isn’t a good option. I do use the leg (left rear). So amputation is not a great idea. My leg & I, we get along just fine. It seems strange to Pet Harbor that nobody asks about me. I’m the best dog at Pet Harbor, most handsome to boot. Even though I am super fantastic, my leg seems to stop people. Seriously, my leg is nothing about which to be concerned. I really am the best.

Spayed female Siberian Husky

Colors:

Black & white, blue eyes

Weight:

35 pounds (as of 3/14/20)

Experience with Children:

Since coming to Pet Harbor, I have met children of all ages. I have been gentle and easy with all of those I have met. I have softly wagged my tail and asked them for kisses and petting. The very first day I came to Pet Harbor, I had a lot to say to them, but after that day, I’ve been very quiet. Even little children adore me and I them.

Experience with Cats:

Experience with Dogs:

When introduced to dogs in the shelter, I had all positive reactions. When I first came to Pet Harbor, I mostly ignored them. Now that I’ve been here a while, I’ve become more interactive & have joined the dog play circles. The bottom line is I can live with them or without them. Either way is fine. I have not knowingly had exposure to small dogs. Actually, most of Pet Harbor’s dogs have never seen small dogs.

Named for 9/11 Victim:

I was named for Darya Lin.

History:

Running lost down a highway in Hilton Head, South Carolina, I landed in an animal shelter. From there, I came to Pet Harbor.

Movies:

3/7/20 – Darya on the left, Hank on the right!

More About Me: Rock-a-bye, baby, in the treetop. Funny how we Siberian ladies can twist things around to get exactly what we want. If you want to be held, pretend to be sleepy. Of course, getting my way probably is spurred by my inquisitive nature. Is it wrong to want to know everything, every little detail? Well, if it’s wrong, I don’t want to be right. I’ll just keep on keeping on. Wait. Am I in the wrong line of work? Hmmm. Let me think about this a bit. Nah. I’ll keep being the chief manipulator to get petted and whatever it takes to soak up the lovin’. The best home for me will have at least one child. The more, the merrier. Now would be a good time for me to go home. I can go to school at home with the children. I do that in my foster home, and I love it so much!

Experience with Children:

Since coming to Pet Harbor, I have met children up to age 6. I’ve been gentle and sweet with them and romp & frolic with them when they romp & frolic.

Experience with Cats:

Pet Harbor has not introduced me to cats yet. When they do, the information will be posted here. 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 in the shelter, I had only positive reactions. I’m a total puppy. I love to play. If other dogs are playing, I bounce around right into the middle of it. I love playing with Todd & Shai, also available for adoption from Pet Harbor. Todd is really big. When he trots, I trot under him so that it looks like he’s wearing a white skirt. Pet Harbor has no clue how I am with small dogs.

More About Me: The first word that comes to mind in describing me is sweet. I am just a doll or a lambie. Lambie is a better description. A little white lambie pie. Dogs and children in my foster home all adore me and I them. If I carried daisies, I’d be one of those who hands out daisies to everyone in hopes of spreading peace, joy, and love. See? Told you I’m sweet.
