What am I?

Spayed female Siberian Husky

CKC Information:

CKC # 2150776-8
PARENTS:
– Sire: Finn-FN2187
– Dam: Persephone Angel in the Dark

Colors:

Black & white, blue eyes

Weight:

38 pounds (as of 3/10/20)

Experience with Children:

Pet Harbor was told I am good with children. Since coming to Pet Harbor, I have met a 2yo child. I let her give me treats. I even gave her a couple of kisses, and I’m not big on kissing!

Experience with Cats:

I met cats in my foster home & ignored them. Even when a cat ran, I ignored. Pet Harbor was told I did not react negatively, even to outside cats. 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:

I have been fine with the dogs I have met in foster care with the exception of mini dogs.

Energy Level:

Medium

Owner Aptitude Level:

Novice

Named for 9/11 Victim:

I was named for Lyudmila Ksido.

History:

For just a year old, I have a lengthy history. I was purchased from a backyard breeder in Virginia. My owners had 2 Siberians & decided they bit off more than they could chew and put us in a rescue organization’s program. I got adopted. Three months later, my adopter decided because they live in an apartment, they should take me to an animal shelter. From there, I ended up in Pet Harbor’s program.

Movies:

Coming soon!

More About Me: So, first, I am a doll. Well, I am still a female Siberian. So I will tell the males what for & they will obey. 🙂 We rule, don’t we, ladies? But I think there’s a misconception I want to correct. Seeing a CKC# in my bio & the names of my parents means zilch as far as pedigree. Let’s be clear. I came from a backyard breeder, not a show breeder. The only reason Pet Harbor puts that information there is in case folks want to research & try to find out any medical history that might run in my biological family. That’s it. Please don’t think my having a CKC number makes me special. Exactly the opposite. I am special because I am me, not because I have a CKC #. Now on to business. I’ve been through so much in my short life. If you are willing to work through whatever problems come up in your life or whatever you decide you don’t like, then I’m ready to go home! If you’re not, please don’t adopt. So I’m a super good girl. Seriously, how many Siberians do you know who IGNORE the kitties? I have just a smidgen of timidity, really just a smidgen, when I first meet folks. If you were tossed around like I have been, wouldn’t you, too? It just occurred to me that since I’m a special lady & I rule, I should consider myself golden. The golden child. There. So who is ready to bring home a golden child? Let me brush off my tiara, and I’ll be ready!

What am I?

Spayed female Siberian Husky

Colors:

Grey & white, blue eyes

Weight:

32 pounds (as of 3/3/2020)

Experience with Children:

I am new to Pet Harbor. Once this information is known, it will be posted here.

Experience with Cats:

Pet Harbor has not yet introduced me to cats. Once more information is known, it will be posted here. However, when I saw a veterinarian before coming to Pet Harbor, I was fixated on a cat there. When they tried to break my focus from the cat, I grumbled. 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:

Since coming to Pet Harbor, I have met quite a few dogs. I really don’t care about them. Remember, I’m a female Siberian. That means HSIC (Head Siberian in Charge).

Energy Level:

High

Owner Aptitude Level:

Northern breed experience preferred

Named for 9/11 Victim:

I was named for Vincenzo "Vincent" Gallucci.

History:

Running at large, I landed in an animal shelter. From there, I came to Pet Harbor.

Movies:

Coming soon!

More About Me:Please note, while I am not available now to adopt, I will be available to physically go to an adoptive home after my treatment for heartworm disease is finished. If my new family is found, they can foster me until I am finished with treatment and then adopt me if they can get me to my doctor appointments. One important thing I need is groceries. I came to Pet Harbor paper thin. Hopefully that explains why I tend to be grumbly and food-fixated. Well, it could be that and/or that I was in heat at the time. Let’s give me a chance to settle in and get through heartworm treatment & hopefully I’ll adjust.

What am I?

Neutered male Siberian Husky

Colors:

Red & white, blue eyes

Weight:

42 pounds (as of 2/19/20)

Experience with Children:

Pet Harbor was told I lived with children and am fine with them. Since coming to Pet Harbor, I have met children of all ages. They might not like me so much because I constantly feel a need to give them soft, wet kisses (They use that word “Yuck!” quite a bit.), but I sure adore them!

Experience with Cats:

Experience with Dogs:

Pet Harbor was told I am great with dogs. When introduced to a male dog at the shelter, I was playful. However, since coming to Pet Harbor, I have been bossy with others & tend to not interact with the other dogs much, just people.

Energy Level:

High

Owner Aptitude Level:

Novice

Named for 9/11 Victim:

I was named for Frederic Kim Han.

History:

I don’t know why, but my people put me in an animal shelter. From there, I came to Pet Harbor.

Movies:

2/20/20 – If you met me be the boss, buddy boy, we’ll be just fine!
2/20/20 – A cheap date, I’m full of entertainment!
2/28/20 – As I said, I’m the Kiss King!

More About Me:Seriously, I give the best kisses. I am kinda bossy to the other dogs. First, that may change, but, secondly and more importantly, who cares? What I love is humans. So why do other dogs matter? I am more dog than you could possibly want. And I’ll seal that with a kiss or two or three. I know commands and most of the time will obey them. I’m really cute, and I’m really playful. One of my favorite toys is ice cubes. Toss an ice cube on the floor & watch me bat it around without a hockey stick. Wanted: One or more people who will accept the best kisses in the world from the best kisser in the world. Smooches!

What am I?

Spayed female Siberian Husky

Colors:

Grey & white, blue eyes

Weight:

44 pounds (as of 3/14/20)

Experience with Children:

My experience at Pet Harbor is I love children, but they sometimes aren’t such big fans of mine. You see, I jump right into their faces and give them kisses, which knocks them over if they are little. Toddlers don’t like that so much. All I need is some training & growing up.

Experience with Cats:

On 2/24/20, Pet Harbor introduced me to cats. I completely ignored them, though I did not ignore their litter boxes. 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 I first came to Pet Harbor, I ignored the other dogs. Boy, has that changed. Now I play with them 24/7. My very best friend in the whole world is Todd, and he got adopted. I play with others, too, but he was my favorite. In typical female Siberian fashion, I am sometimes antagonistic towards submissive female dogs. Brandy, another female who was adopted, was my partner in crime. With Todd, we made a three-ring circus. Then we added Darya, also adopted, to our play circle.

Energy Level:

Owner Aptitude Level:

Young Northern breed experience preferred

Named for 9/11 Victim:

I was named for Shai Levinhar.

History:

Originally I was put into a county animal shelter because my elderly owner felt she could not handle me. I was adopted and returned to the shelter a week later and from there came to Pet Harbor. This is what happens when people don’t research the breed. I really don’t want to bounce around anymore. If you plan to adopt a Siberian Husky, please make sure you do your research and understand my kinfolk & me before you do. It will make your lives & my life so much better. Thank you.

Movies:

3/14/2020 – Spring Hugs!
3/28/2020 – Holding Down the Couch

More About Me: My energy level is super high. So, too, is my level of happiness. I am filled to the brim with love, joy, & spirit, & I spread it all everywhere. I’m Mikey’s polar opposite. You know how Mikey hates everything (“Let’s let Mikey eat it. He won’t eat it. He hates everything.”)? I love everything. And I have to get up close & personal. I love children so much if I hear a small voice, I will fly out of nowhere to come to that child and knock them over just showing them lots of love. Sometimes they cry & run away from me, which makes me sad because I don’t understand my own energy level. I’m not a gearshift. I don’t have a number of gears. I have sleep (not often), which is recharging, and I have full throttle. I don’t have any in-between gears. I am calming a little, but it’s because I’m given hours every day to run & play with other dogs. So if you are looking for a full-energy dog who is beautiful & has immense love to share, you found her! Oh, wait. Before I forget, let me tell you about my toe. I had to have a toe amputated. If you want to know why, maybe you can translate my veterinarian’s records. I can’t read it. Let’s be honest. I can’t read at all, not because I don’t know how but because that means sitting still, and I’m not going to do that. It’s kind of funny that every video Pet Harbor has of me shows me calmer than I am, but that’s because it’s tough to take a video when I’m on the move!

What am I?

Neutered male Siberian Husky

Colors:

Red & white, blue eyes

Weight:

65 pounds

Experience with Children:

Pet Harbor does not know my history with children. Since coming to Pet Harbor, I have met children of various ages. I enjoy being with them, but I leaned into the toddler for hugs and accidentally knocked her over. I’m big & lanky. Think of Marmaduke. I let the toddler walk me by holding the leash.

Experience with Cats:

Information coming soon.

Experience with Dogs:

Pet Harbor does not know my history with dogs. When introduced to a dog at the shelter, I was friendly and interested in him. Since coming to Pet Harbor, I have met several dogs. Though I play with them, if humans walk into the room, I will leave the other dogs in a New York minute. My new home can have dogs or no dogs. It doesn’t matter either way.

Energy Level:

Named for 9/11 Victim:

I was named for Thomas A. Hobbs.

History:

Running at large, I landed in a county animal shelter. I was adopted. I was returned because during the one day in my home, I absconded a short fence twice and was picked up by the dog police. I was adopted a second time and returned again, this time because the adopters felt my stubbornness was more than they wanted to handle. From there, I came to Pet Harbor.

Movies:

1/27/20 – Hooman, I think I like you

More About Me: Whatever else may happen, it is really important that this time, I find a family who wants to really integrate me into the family, not return me on a whim. It is important my new family set me up for success and keep me safe by not relying on a 4′ fence to contain me. If you understand Siberian Huskies, you will understand my quirks. I am super playful, an overgrown puppy, as it were, very loving and loads of fun. I will keep you laughing. But I also am true to my breed and suffer from Houdini-ism and Steve Jobs’ level of stubbornness. And, well, I’d say Steve’s worked out pretty well. So should mine!

What am I?

Spayed female Siberian Husky

Colors:

Black & white, blue eyes

Weight:

35 pounds (as of 9/2/19)

Experience with Children:

So far the children I have met have been my buddies, but loud noises and swift movements cause me hesitation. I am cautious around people, but it helps that children are closer to my height. It is also a tremendous help when there is another dog nearby.

Experience with Cats:

Info to come.

Experience with Dogs:

When introduced to other Siberians in my foster home, I couldn’t get enough of them. The best home for me will have at least one other dog around my size. The “shell” under which I hide tends to relax a bit when there is another dog. In them, I find comfort.

Energy Level:

Named for 9/11 Victim:

I was named for Claribel Villalobos Hernandez.

History:

I was put into a shelter by my owner, whose landlord/father booted us.

Movies:

Maybe I will and Maybe I won’t.

More About Me: The cutest tail wag in the universe. That’s what I have. It’s a good complement to my sweetness. Soft & sweet. I make you want to wrap me in a blanket to cuddle me like a baby. I have a shyness I need to overcome. Once I get into a stable home, that should be the place it starts. My beginnings have brought me to this place where I find trusting difficult. When people approach me, I turn and run. But if the people are accompanied by a dog, I will cautiously go towards them. Dogs are what will bring me out of my shell, which is why Pet Harbor believes the best home for me will be where at least one other dog around my size lives. As for house manners, if I know them, I have trouble using them. I have more important things on my mind. My focus is on trying to feel secure. Maybe you are the person who can help me?

Adoptions are still happening, but events are canceled for the foreseeable future. We will revisit this decision in the fall. Continue Reading…

What am I?

Neutered male Siberian Husky

Colors:

Black & white, blue eyes

Weight:

51 pounds (as of 12/13/19)

Experience with Children:

12/30/19, Pet Harbor introduced me to a 3yo child. I didn’t really interact with her, but I didn’t mind that she was there. She walked me from one room to the next using my collar. I didn’t mind.

Experience with Cats:

12/30/19, Pet Harbor introduced me to cats. I didn’t mind that they were there or when they ran. I paid no attention to them. Siberian Huskies tend to have a strong prey instinct and often show extreme, even fatal, aggression towards cats. While I did not display aggression towards the cats mentioned here, that may not translate to all cats under all circumstances.

Experience with Dogs:

When introduced to a dog at the shelter, I was friendly and relaxed with him. On 12/30/19, when Pet Harbor introduced me to a male Siberian, I played with him a lot. Wore me out, & I slept well. When introduced to a group of dogs, all Siberians, I played nonstop. I am in my element with other dogs. The best home for me will have another dog around my energy level & size.

Energy Level:

More About Me: Ever heard of a dogs’ dog or a people’s dog? Dogs that are “people’s dogs” focus on people and don’t care if other dogs are about or not. Dogs that are “dogs’ dogs” focus on other dogs and don’t care if people are about or not. When I’m where other dogs aren’t, I pace until I can be with them. Dogs. They’re the cat’s meow. Pun intended. Once I’m with them, it’s all roses. All Siberians need a job. Perhaps mine should be that of a minister. Leading a congregation of Siberians sounds like a dream come true to me.
