I went to my forever home on April 6, 2019!

Age:

1 year old

Birthday:

July 16, 2017

What am I?

Neutered male Siberian Husky

Colors:

Black & white, blue eyes

Weight:

68 pounds (as of 3/9/19)

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 play with them & kiss them. I have calmed somewhat, but when I first got to Pet Harbor, I was a rambunctious puppy. So I knocked down little children, but after I knocked them down, I showered them with kisses.

Experience with Cats:

Pet Harbor does not know my history with cats. On 11/4/18, Pet Harbor performed a test for cat-friendliness. The result is the cats were more afraid of me & my energy level than I was of them. I was more interested in their canned cat food than them. On 11/23/18, Pet Harbor repeated testing. The cat smacked me and then ran. I did not react. My third cat test was similar, but then I went to a home with two kitties and after a few days, I became too focused on one of the kitties, to the point where the kitty’s humans became afraid. So Pet Harbor has decided in order to exercise an abundance of caution, I will only be placed in a cat-free home.

Experience with Dogs:

Pet Harbor does not know my history with dogs. I passed my dog-dog tests with female & male dogs. Since coming to Pet Harbor, I have met male & female dogs and play with them all. Zemis was my BFF, and we loved to play a lot! He got adopted. So now I play with several dogs at once.

Energy Level:

High

Owner Aptitude Level:

Young Northern breed experience preferred

Named for 9/11 Victim:

I was named for Joseph Jenkins, Jr.

History:

My former owners bought me from an Amish breeder. Nine months later, they put me in an animal shelter, indicating they do not have the “time or resources needed to care for” me. From there, I came to Pet Harbor Rescue.

Movies:

12/8/18 – Oh, to be Close to You!
11/3/18 – Scavenger
9/16/18 – A little kindergarten rough-housing!
9/16/18 – Running and exploring the yard.

More About Me: I’m uber friendly and playful, ready to be putty in your hands. I’m what my foster home calls a plug-and-play dog. I can fit in almost any home environment. I’m a lover, not a fighter. If you know Siberians, you know me. All those traits that describe a Siberian describe me. Siberians are friendly and loving. Yep, that’s me. I’m a total sweetheart. Happy as can be. Yep, that’s me. Sing the song of my people? Yep, I do. I’m not quiet. Well, I’m not quiet when my human(s) leave me alone. I have quite a lot to say in protest. If you know & love Siberians, you will know that song is melodious & enjoy it, but if you live in an apartment or in close quarters, your neighbors may not. I’m much happier when my people are home where they can pet me or fix me food or let me kiss them. Fun-loving & people-loving. Yep. That’s me! So the bottom line is if you are a Siberian person, I’m the perfect dog for you!

I went to my forever home on November 23, 2018!

What am I?

Spayed female Siberian Husky

Colors:

Black & white, blue eyes

Weight:

45 pounds (as of 10/20/18)

Experience with Children:

Pet Harbor does not know my history with children. Since coming to Pet Harbor, I have met children of all ages. All of my interactions with them have been positive. I sleep with children in my foster home. The 5-year-old walks me by my collar & has taken food from me, both without incident.

Experience with Cats:

Pet Harbor does not know my history with cats. On 9/14/18, Pet Harbor performed a test for cat-friendliness. I showed no interest in the cats, but I was focused on removing myself from the environment. So the test results are inconclusive. On 10/18/18, Pet Harbor repeated the cat-friendliness test. I showed no interest in kitties. Pet Harbor is comfortable placing me in a home with cats.

Experience with Dogs:

Pet Harbor does not know my history with dogs. I passed my dog-dog test with a female dog. I have interacted with dogs my size of both genders since coming to Pet Harbor. I can take them or leave them. I have had no negative interactions with them, but I haven’t played with them either.

Energy Level:

Medium

Owner Aptitude Level:

Novice

Named for 9/11 Victim:

I was named for Christopher M. Traina.

History:

For the crime of running at large, I landed in an animal shelter. From there, I came to Pet Harbor Rescue.

Movies:

11/3/18 – Run, Be Happy!
10/20/18 – Short Run
9/15/18 – So much to do and see!

More About Me: All you need to know is I’m about the sweetest dog who ever lived. I’m great with toddlers. I don’t run through or over them. I take treats from them quietly & easily. I have the cutest, most feminine play bow in the world. I have a soft woo that is rarely heard. I have an adorable smile. I’m well-behaved. I’m not a kissy Siberian, but I will push into you to be petted if you are so inclined to pet me. I don’t even mind going to the veterinarian, getting shots, or being brushed. I am perfection. Really, I am. I’m healthy, too. I’m one of those no-issue dogs who makes people scratch their heads trying to figure out how I got homeless & was not reclaimed. Oh, well. Hopefully my next people will be my last people & will love me the way I deserve to be loved. There are two things I do not like. One is hardwood floors, the other having my picture taken. Other than that, I’m a doll baby.

Experience with Cats:

Pet Harbor does not know my history with cats. Pet Harbor performed a brief initial evaluation for cat-friendliness, and I didn’t show aggression. On 8/26/18, I was given a more in-depth evaluation for cat-friendliness and did not respond well. I cannot live with cats.

Experience with Dogs:

Pet Harbor does not know my history with dogs. I showed no aggression during my dog-friendliness evaluation. Since coming to Pet Harbor, I have gotten along fabulously with all the dogs I have met. There is one grumpy old female who always tries to pick fights with me. I run from her.

Named for 9/11 Victim:

I was named for Shelley A. Marshall.

History:

For the crime of running at large, I landed in an animal shelter. From there, I came to Pet Harbor Rescue.

Movies:

9/15/18 – Lap Dog!
9/3/18 – I give infinite toddler kisses!

More About Me: Sweetness. I am a cutie patootie. There are two things I need in my new house: (a) a place to plant kisses & (b) groceries. I don’t eat much, and I burn it off faster than I take it in! And I am a doll who loves to kiss. My foster mom thinks the most beautiful sight in the world is me running, “Run, Shelley, run!” Breathtaking. Of course, those times are rare because I spend most of my time kissing and expressing my love for all mankind.

Age:

Birthday:

December 25, 2013

What am I?

Neutered male Siberian Husky

Colors:

White, blue eyes

Weight:

57 pounds (as of 8/9/18)

Experience with Children:

Pet Harbor was told I lived with children of all ages & had only positive interactions with them, that, in fact, I “enjoyed being with” them. Since coming to Pet Harbor, I have met children up to age 5. I am unsure why I’m being shuffled around at this point. I’ve only been with Pet Harbor since 8/9/18. So I haven’t quite relaxed yet, but when the children allowed me to come to them, I gave them soft, easy kisses. When they rushed me, however, I tried to back away. Once I settle in, things may be different.

Experience with Cats:

I am homeless because of my negative interaction with a kitty. I cannot live with kitties.

Experience with Dogs:

Pet Harbor was told I lived with dogs of all sizes & only had negative reactions to intact ones. (I was also intact.) I showed no aggression during my dog-friendliness evaluations with both male & female dogs. I am brand new to Pet Harbor and have no negative interactions with the dogs I have met so far, though I have mostly ignored them.

Named for 9/11 Victim:

I was named for Bella J. Bhukhan.

History:

Because I rid the world of a feral cat, I landed in an animal shelter. From there, I came to Pet Harbor Rescue.

Movies:

9/3/18 – I give the best toddler kisses!
8/11/18 – Even dogs can take selfies!
8/11/18 – What, pray tell, are you?
8/11/18 – Oh, how I love to run, run, run!
8/10/18 – Short & Sweet!
8/08/18 – Dogs are okay, but people are better!

What am I?

Neutered male Siberian Husky

Colors:

Black & white, blue eyes

Weight:

57 pounds (as of 10/20/18)

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 show exuberant adoration toward them. I do express displeasure when children or dogs come near my food or water while I’m partaking.

Experience with Cats:

Pet Harbor was told I chased cats, horses, and chickens in my most recent home. Therefore, it is assumed I cannot live with cats. Since Pet Harbor won’t let me live with kitties anyway, they have not performed an evaluation for cat-friendliness.

Experience with Dogs:

Pet Harbor was told I lived with small dogs in my most recent home (less than a week) but that I played rough with them. I showed no aggression during my dog-friendliness evaluations. Since coming to Pet Harbor, I have mostly ignored other dogs, but I did have playmates at my foster home, both neutered males & spayed females, with energy levels similar to mine. I now am fostered with Stacey, also available for adoption. I tried to court her for the longest time. She was a tough cookie. She played hard to get as if she invented that game. My suaveness broke her. She and I are now “in a relationship,” and it no longer is complicated.

Named for 9/11 Victim:

I was named for Benjamin Walker.

History:

For the crime of running at large, I landed in an animal shelter. I then got adopted. After scaling a 5′ fence, I was returned to the shelter. From there, I came to Pet Harbor Rescue.

Movies:

10/20/18 – Obedience
10/20/18 – Children in the Act
10/20/18 – My Buddy & Me
9/3/18 – Sweet Kisses
8/5/18 – Enjoying my people time!
8/11/18 – As Close to You as I can Possibly Get!
8/11/18 – C’mon! Let’s Go!

More About Me: Love to run. Love to snuggle. I’m a beautiful runner, with head held high; a big, beautiful smile on my face; and tall-stepping legs. The person at the end of my leash, however, needs to be strong enough to hold on tight or use the right kind of collar for me! Sporting a Herm Sprenger collar, I am easily walked. But about running, if you try playing Catch Me If You Can with me. I will win the race every time! Exuberant. That’s a word for me. I’m totally full of exuberance. When someone walks into the room, I will be extremely happy to see them! I will make them believe they are the love of my life. That brings me to my other love: snuggle. I love people. I must be close to you. I will lean into you or belly up for you or whatever it takes to get your attention. If you sit on a couch, I’ll sit on the couch looking for love. If you lie down, I will jump up on the bed with you to get close. If you’re standing at the stove cooking, I’ll lay down right behind you so I can be close. And if there is no person around, I will find some inanimate object and pretend it’s a person! I really love people, and I must make them know they are loved. So if you are ready for some snuggles & muscle-building, I’m ready for you!

I met children at the shelter and had no negative interactions. Since coming to Pet Harbor, I have met children ages 1 to 5 and have had only positive interactions with them. I do like to play, and I do play using my mouth. So little ones will need to understand that it is play.

Experience with Cats:

Pet Harbor does not know my history with cats. On 7/26/18, Pet Harbor performed a test for cat-friendliness. When kitty was in a carrier, I had some interest, but when kitty was walking all around me, I paid no attention to her. Though I saw her, I went about my own business.

Named for 9/11 Victim:

I was named for Laurence Christopher Abel.

History:

My former humans dumped me in an animal shelter. From there, I came to Pet Harbor Rescue.

Movies:

7/26/18 – I’m so laidback!

More About Me: Mostly laidback, I seem to adapt to most anything. I want to spend my time with people. If you are quiet & laidback, that’s what I’ll tend to be. If you are running and wanna play, I’ll be all about that, too. What does that tell you? It tells me I’m a pretty easy keeper. Do I have negatives? Well, when it comes to doing something I don’t want to do, you will need to be my leader because I will try get my way. That means getting a bath or vaccines, for example. So how about it? Can you be my leader? Wanna run & play with me or pet me and let me give you soft kisses? Either way, I’m down with that!

Weight:

44 pounds (as of 10/16/18)

Experience with Children:

Pet Harbor does not know my history with children. Since coming to Pet Harbor, I have met children of all ages. My interactions with them have all been very positive.

Experience with Cats:

Pet Harbor does not know my history with cats. On 7/23/18, Pet Harbor performed an evaluation for cat-friendliness. That day, I showed no interest in the kitties whatsoever. I did want to eat the cat food, but I didn’t try to eat the cats. I do, like most Siberians, have a high prey drive with small furry things that are outside. Bunnies & squirrels, for example, are not safe around me.

Experience with Dogs:

Pet Harbor does not know my history with dogs. I showed no aggression during my dog-friendliness evaluations. When I first got to Pet Harbor, I felt I had to let other dogs know I am the Queen Bee. As time passed, I learned to not only coexist with other dogs but to love them. I even enjoy small dogs! Then I got adopted. After two fights with the male Siberian who also lived there that resulted in stitches, I was returned to Pet Harbor.

Named for 9/11 Victim:

I was named for Stacey L. Peak.

History:

For the crime of running at large, I landed in an animal shelter. From there, I came to Pet Harbor Rescue. I was adopted and returned because I was fighting with the male Siberian in the home.

Movies:

10/20/18 – Pretty Lamb
9/15/18 – Love Magnet
7/29/18 – Will work for belly rubs!

More About Me: Adoration. I adore my people. If that means jumping a 6′ fence to be with them, then that’s what I’ll do. A girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do. I’m a sweetheart, a lover, a doll. Make love, not war. That’s my motto. I just wanna snuggle and cuddle and be petted & kiss you and then repeat that whole cycle over & over again. There is more to me than just love. I am also comical. So maybe you can call me a silly sweetie. You know how a Siberian jumping on a trampoline is? I do that same jump from a standing position. See? Comical. My mission in life is to make you happy. Lest you think I’m a giving soul, my real reward is I am loved. Are you looking for a silly sweetie who is also stunningly gorgeous?

Mind if I focus on you?
