Weight:
40 pounds (as of 9/10/2023)
Experience with Children:
Pet Harbor does not know my history with children. When more information is learned, it will be posted here.
Experience with Cats:
Pet Harbor does not know my history with cats. Since coming to Pet Harbor, I have not yet been introduced to cats. When more information is learned, it will be posted here. 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.

Pet Harbor does not know my history with dogs. Since coming to Pet Harbor, I have been great with all the dogs I have met.
Energy Level:

More About Me: Probably the most important thing I have to tell you is I tell you & I tell you & I tell you. By that, I mean, I don’t stop talking. I have a lot to say, and it overfloweth continuously. Please don’t think you will sleep. Sleep, after all, is overrated. Besides, I have lots of affection to give, kisses, paws, closeness, in very dramatic fashion, so much so that it’s bound to overshadow the nonstop speaking. See, what happened was I heard someone say, “speakeasy,” and I misunderstood. So ready for lots of cuteness and discussions? Then I’m your boy!

More About Me: Ages can be deceiving. I mean, they’re only a guess anyway, but I act like a puppy. I have tons of energy. Well, I am a Siberian husky. I guess since you are on this page, you already know that means energy. When I came to rescue, I was, as you can see in the photos, very thin. Fortunately for me, I have been food-motivated, and my foster home has been able to put some meat on my bones. In my foster home, my two favorite things behind food have been cuddling with people and playing with dogs. I love both of those things equally. Probably one more thing I should mention. I guess you know Siberian huskies are not quiet dogs. Yeah, I’m definitely a Siberian. I would not be a good candidate for an apartment or a library. Two words I just don’t understand are “Shut up!”

What am I?
Neutered male Siberian husky
Colors:
Black & white, brown eyes
Weight:
58 pounds (as of 12/2/2023)
Experience with Children:
Pet Harbor was told I’ve always lived with children and have been great with them. Since coming to Pet Harbor, I have met children up to age 10. I’ve been great with them.
Experience with Cats:
Pet Harbor was told I have always lived with a cat and was great with that kitty. On 9/17, Pet Harbor introduced me to cats. All interactions were positive. On 9/18, however, I attempted to bite two cats and remained intently focused on them. For kitty safety, my home will need to be where I can be separated from cats if needed. 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:
On 9/17, Pet Harbor introduced me to dogs. My interactions with them have all been positive. I enjoy playing with them. Lucia, also available for adoption, and I enjoyed running through and jumping in the swimming pool when the weather was appropriate.

Owner Aptitude Level:

Named for 9/11 Victim:
I was named for Warren Grifka.
History:
My mom got a devastating medical diagnosis and was unable to care for me, and her medical specialist told her I was making her condition worse. I didn’t mean to do that. I miss my family but hope I soon find a new one.
Movies:
  1. 11/12/2023 – The Gang
  2. 11/12/2023 – Helene & Her Buds
  3. 11/12/2023 – Lucia & Her Buds

More About Me: Want to start your day off right? Kisses and happiness will bring you morning sunshine. Hey, that’s a good nickname for me: Morning Sunshine. I am a lover, a Casanova, if you will. I must get in my kisses! I do also enjoying playing with toys and in water. I am such a happy boy. My name was Griffith. Pet Harbor shortened it to Grif to honor a 9/11 victim. I was loved, but my mom ended up with a medical issue that meant she could not keep me. I am a good boy and have been really well-trained.

Weight:
53.4 pounds (as of 12/2/2023)
Experience with Children:
Pet Harbor does not know my history with children. Since coming to Pet Harbor, I have met children of all ages. I’ve been great with them.
Experience with Cats:
Pet Harbor does not know my history with cats. On 9/18/2023, Pet Harbor introduced me to cats. I ignored them. See video below from 11/22/2023 of me with cats. 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 two other dogs. When I was evaluated at the shelter before coming to Pet Harbor, I was great with all the dogs I met. Since coming to Pet Harbor, I have been great with all dogs I’ve met. (See videos.) For some reason, though, while at adoption events, I am not a fan of other dogs, but I have been at all other times.

More About Me: Pet Harbor will tell you I am one of the best dogs they’ve ever had the pleasure to meet. I am absolutely the happiest, most loving, sweetest girl in the universe. No one can say, “She likes ME!” because I like EVERYBODY! Correction. I LOVE everybody! I want to climb in everyone’s lap while smiling and wagging my tail at its fullest. I go from one lap to the next. Showers of kisses. People of all ages are just fine with me. And other than at adoption events, I’ve not shown any issues with dogs or cats. Rabbits, that’s a different story, but dogs and cats and people have all been just wonderful with me. And I’m not a pushy powerhouse. I’m a lady. Seriously, Pet Harbor calls me a “refreshing difference.” My name was Helena. Pet Harbor changed it to Helene to honor a 9/11 victim.
