Birthday (approx):

What am I?

Spayed female Siberian Husky

Colors:

Red & white, blue eyes

Weight:

31 pounds (as of 8/29/17)

Experience with Children:

My history with children is unknown. Since coming to Pet Harbor, I have interacted with children ages 4 and under. At first, I barked and backed away. Now that I have been with Pet Harbor a few days, I seem a bit more relaxed, and I keep kissing the children (and adults). I do need to learn manners because when I take food from their hands, I take their fingers with the food!

Experience with Cats:

My history with cats is unknown. Pet Harbor has performed two tests for cat-friendliness. I am curious about those strange creatures, but they don’t hold my focus and I have not tried to harm them.

Experience with Dogs:

Pet Harbor was told I am good with other dogs. Pet Harbor’s experience with me so far has been I pretty much ignore the other dogs and try to get as close as I can to the people.

Energy Level:

High

Owner Aptitude Level:

Young Northern breed experience preferred

Named for 9/11 Victim:

I was named for Michael G. Arczynski.

History:

Running at large, I landed in a shelter. That shelter transferred me to another shelter. The second shelter transferred me to Pet Harbor. It’s time for me to find my one last home and stop playing hopscotch with my life.

Movies:

Coming soon!

Dream Home Minimum Requirements: A quieter home would be the best for me. Perhaps I could live in a library. Learning to read might be a good thing for me. Groceries would be good, too. I’m unsure about things because I have been shuffled around so much. I need to get one place and stay there. I need one family, one home, and to stay put. Being shuffled around made me not want to eat and has made me apprehensive. Once I am sure of things, I love everybody. I literally speak, asking to be with my people. My favorite human is the man of the house, but I give soft kisses to the children. And they want to play with me because I am so little. So there you have it. Are you ready to let me have some time to settle in and be your mini teddy bear?

What am I?

Spayed female Siberian Husky

Colors:

Black & white, blue eyes

Weight:

48 pounds (as of 8/1/17)

Experience with Children:

My history with children is unknown. Since coming to Pet Harbor, I have met children of all ages. All interactions with them have been positive.

Experience with Cats:

My history with cats is unknown. On 9/5/17, Pet Harbor performed a test for cat-friendliness. I failed miserably. I am unable to live safely with cats or, to be more precise, cats are unable to live safely with me.

Experience with Dogs:

My history with dogs is unknown. Before coming to Pet Harbor, a dog-dog test was performed with another female dog. I initially wagged and showed attention, then ignored the other dog. Since coming to Pet Harbor, I have interacted with multiple dogs around my size. Sometimes I interact with them. Sometimes I ignore them and do my own thing. But then I found Wilder, also available for adoption. I decided he is my very best friend. So we play, play, play, and then play some more. Then Jason came. Oh, boy, earrings! We play so much, I can have one boy hanging from each ear like long earrings! It’s all good. It makes my foster mom laugh! Though I love to play, I can be a typical dominant female Siberian Husky. So you can call me the leader of the canine games!

Energy Level:

High

Owner Aptitude Level:

Novice

Named for 9/11 Victim:

I was named for Vita Marino.

History:

Some months ago, I was dumped in a shelter because my owner “didn’t have time for” me. I got adopted. Six months later, I was dumped again in the shelter because my owners were “moving.” This time I came to Pet Harbor Rescue.

Movies:

10/21/17 – Playtime!
10/28/17 – Jump, jump, jump!
10/28/17 – Sittin’ pretty.

Dream Home Minimum Requirements: Take time to stop and smell the roses. That’s what I do. I am a happy girl, and I like to take the time to stop and smell the roses. The first thing you will notice about me is how extremely happy I am! Happy, happy, happy! If I actually drew a salary, you could say I’d be a paid researcher. Since no paychecks come my way, you can say I am a volunteer researcher. I volunteer because that’s what I like to do: stop and research the roses and the grass and people and everything in between! All the while, I continue to smile. Seriously, I am a continuously happy girl. I’m a pretty easy keeper. I am pretty strong, but the right kind of collar makes the difference there. I have lots of love and soft kisses in me looking for someone to receive them. If you adopt Wilder or Jason or have a similar dog, that dog will be my very best friend. Otherwise I’ll be focused on the people. Either way is perfectly fine with me. In either case, I will never stop being happy. So how about it? Want to share your life with an easy and happy girl who likes to stop and smell the roses and will shower you with more love, kisses, and happiness than you ever thought possible? If so, let’s dance!

What am I?

Spayed female Siberian Husky

Colors:

Black & white, blue eyes

Weight:

40 pounds (as of 8/17/17)

Experience with Children:

Pet Harbor does not know my history with children. At Pet Harbor, I have met an infant and a toddler so far. I wag and try to play with them.

Experience with Cats:

My history with cats is unknown. Pet Harbor performed a test for cat-friendliness. I completely ignored the cats.

Experience with Dogs:

My history with dogs is unknown. When dog-dog tests were performed at the shelter with other dogs, I wagged and jumped to entice play. Since coming to Pet Harbor, I have been the center of the party. I play with all of the dogs (They’re my size or bigger.) all the time. I am having a blast!

Energy Level:

Owner Aptitude Level:

Northern breed experience preferred

Named for 9/11 Victim:

I was named for Brooke David Rosenbaum.

History:

Running at large, I landed in an animal shelter. No one claimed me. So I came to Pet Harbor.

Movies:

8/18/17 – Wiggle waggle! Let’s play!

Dream Home Minimum Requirements: Snuggle bunny is a good description of me. With people, I am a snuggler. With dogs, I am a player – the good kind of player! My favorite game to play with other dogs is the Deer Leap. If you are looking for a dog who likes to snuggle and play with other dogs, you have found her. Oh, also get this. Here is why I like to play Deer Leap. I actually am deer-friendly. There are photos to prove that deer don’t hold my attention. Who can imagine that? I am a good backseat driver, too. I actually sit quietly and watch out the window unless you want to let me drive, but you need to remember I do not have a driver’s license. It sounds like I’m a super easy dog, doesn’t it? So why does this say Northern breed experience is best for me? It is because some Siberians get fussy when you touch certain parts of us. Because I am one of those Siberians, an experienced human or humans would be best for me. Other than that, I am super easy. So how about it? Why don’t you pop some popcorn, put in a movie, and snuggle with me?

Movies:

7/19/17 – Wiggle waggle! Let’s play!

Dream Home Minimum Requirements: Oh, I’m like a soft downy chick. I cuddle and snuggle and am a fountain full of love. I’m puppyish in my innocent, playful, ever-positive view of the world. You won’t be able to cry or have sadness around me. I won’t let you. You’ll laugh and smile 24/7 if you belong to me. I’m soft and fluffy and easy. The one negative is you won’t want to go to work. You’ll want to stay home and cuddle with me. I’m like Charmin. You just can’t stop squeezing, and I can’t stop loving.

Age (approx):

1 year old

Birthday (approx):

June 23, 2016

What am I?

Neutered male Siberian Husky

Colors:

Grey & white, blue eyes

Weight:

43 pounds (as of 7/23/17)

Experience with Children:

Pet Harbor does not know my history with children. I am brand new to Pet Harbor. I have met an infant and a toddler so far. I pawed the air to be near them. When taken toward them, I gave soft kisses. I wag and attempt to get them to be interactive. When the infant puts her hands in my face, I do not react except to lick her. However, I am a strong and exuberant Siberian. So I could run laps over, under, and around young ones.

Experience with Cats:

My history with cats is unknown. Pet Harbor has performed a test for cat-friendliness. I sniffed and seemed interested but did nothing negative.

Experience with Dogs:

My history with dogs is unknown. When a dog-dog test was performed at the shelter with another male dog, I wagged to play. Since coming to Pet Harbor, I have met multiple dogs around my size. I am having fun playing with all of them.

Energy Level:

High

Owner Aptitude Level:

Young Northern breed experience is a plus!

Named for 9/11 Victim:

I was named for Howard Selwyn.

History:

Running at large, I landed in an animal shelter. This was not my first trip to jail. The other times, my owners retrieved me. Each time a dog runs at large, the fines increase. My “humans” chose this time not to retrieve me. So I came to Pet Harbor.

Movies:

7/15/17 – Watch me wait to give gentle kisses!

Dream Home Minimum Requirements: Because I am full of love and kisses, I am looking for a family full of people ready to receive love and kisses. Folks of all ages would be fine by me! I am soft and easy with young ones, and I love them. I love other dogs, too. I like to play a lot. So whether that’s with children or dogs or back and forth between them, it’s all good! I’m also pretty adaptable to whatever situation/environment I encounter. So if you are looking for a versatile sweetheart with loads of energy, look no further because you found him!

Age:

1 year old

Birthday:

April 25, 2016

What am I?

Neutered male Siberian Husky

Colors:

Black & white, blue eyes

Weight:

35 pounds (as of 7/10/17)

Experience with Children:

My history with children is unknown. Since coming to Pet Harbor, I have interacted with children of all ages and have displayed only positive reactions to them, but I am a young, energetic Siberian. So I will run laps over, under, and around young ones.

Experience with Cats:

My history with cats is unknown. Pet Harbor performed a preliminary cat test on 7/9. At first, I barked at the cats. When a cat came closer to me, I ran away from the cat and yelped. When I was taken near the cats the next time, I puffed my fur and barked again. On 8/24, I was tested further. I showed much more interest in the cats, barking continuously and fixating my eyes on them with my body frozen, trying to get closer. Pet Harbor will not allow me to live with cats as I may pose a danger to them.

Experience with Dogs:

My history with dogs is unknown. Since coming to foster care, I have incessantly played with all of the dogs (They’re around my size or bigger.) and have had only positive interactions. In fact, the best home for me will have at least one other dog around my size so we can wear out each other, rather than our humans.

Energy Level:

Owner Aptitude Level:

Named for 9/11 Victim:

I was named for Wilder Gomez.

History:

I was seized by animal control for “inadequate living conditions.” From there, I came to Pet Harbor.

Movies:

7/15/17 – Pearl and Wilder
7/15/17 – I’m so sweet and rambunctious!
7/15/17 – I love belly rubs!
10/21/17 – Playtime!
10/28/17 – The Runway!
10/28/17 – Exuberance!
11/25/17 – The next Roomba!

Dream Home Minimum Requirements: The best adopter for me is someone who knows how to speed-read because let me tell you, I am faster than the speed of light and have more energy than you could possibly imagine. I’m as affectionate and loving as you could ever want as well. I just don’t stand still long enough to give more than one kiss at a time! My foster mom calls me a jumping bean. She said she should get rid of her TV service and just watch me! I’m not only active and loving, but I am super full of personality. A Pet Harbor volunteer fell madly in love with me. I was her pick of the month! That thrills me! I’ve got to stop writing so I can go play with her. I am so full of life an active family would be my dream home. Although Vita, who already found her home, was my very best friend and we played, played, played, and then played some more, I did still play the field. All the rest of the dogs I’ve met are my deputy best friends. Now that Vita has been adopted, I have chosen Jason, also available for adoption, as my new best friend. So we play, play, play, and then play some more. Oh, I’m also supposed to tell you I can’t live in an apartment because, well, besides my energy level, I have lots to say! I pack lots of wallop in this tiny body. Maybe you want to do agility or backpacking? I’m ready! Let’s go!
