What am I?
Spayed female Siberian husky
Colors:
Grey & white, blue eyes
Weight:
36 pounds (as of 8/16/2023)
Experience with Children:
Pet Harbor does not know my history with children prior to coming to Pet Harbor. Since I’ve been with Pet Harbor, all people I’ve met, I’ve loved. In fact, my love is so deep I don’t want them to leave me!
Experience with Cats:
Pet Harbor does not know my history with cats prior to coming to Pet Harbor. 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.
Experience with Dogs:
Pet Harbor does not know my history with dogs prior to coming to Pet Harbor. Since I’ve been with Pet Harbor, all dogs I’ve met, I’ve loved. In fact, the best home for me will have at least one other dog.
Energy Level:

Named for 9/11 Victim:

History:
After my human passed away, I ended up in a county shelter. From there, I came to Pet Harbor.

More About Me: Beautiful, right? Guess what. I also have an amazing personality. I am super sweet & love everybody I meet, at least everybody I’ve met so far, including dogs. My favorite pastime, in fact, is meeting new people. Getting belly rubs is a close second. My foster parents laugh at me a lot because I throw my toys up into the air and catch them on their way back down. Teaching me tricks is probably an easy thing to do because I am food-motivated. Well, there is that little thing called stubbornness, but I guess you already realize Siberians are stubborn or you wouldn’t be on this page. A secret thing about me is I like chasing butterflies, kind of like the beautiful song by Frankly Speaking about his dog (tissue warning) except please don’t have a Siberian attached to a retractable leash. My energy levels are chill at one end of the spectrum and turbo at the other. So how about it? Ready to take me on a butterfly chase?

More About Me: I’m kind of like a college grraduate who asks, “Now what?” I came to Pet Harbor pregnant. I had my six puppies. An outstanding mom, I raised them and sent them on their way to new families. Now I have become a puppy myself. Happiness, playfulness, and love. I snuggle up to my foster mom, play with dogs, people, toys, whatever, whoever will play. I’m sweet, a food critic, smarter than you are (Try giving me meds or a bath.), and like a brand new puppy myself. So since my puppies all found homes, isn’t it my turn? Why is mama always last? Maybe I’m waiting for you?

More About Me: Siberians are working dogs. Every working dog needs an occupation. I have a few. My main one is as a guide. When the grass is cut at my foster home, I walk beside the mower and guide it. My second important job is as a babysitter. My foster brother needs a babysitter. Well, not really. He’s not bad, but he gets afraid when there are storms and things. So I keep him distracted by playing with him incessantly. It’s a tough job, but somebody’s got to do it. My third occupation is quality control. When the refrigerator is open, I check out its contents to be sure there are no issues. I may randomly taste test, but good luck getting me to admit it (burp). My final job is that of a lover. It is my job to give you hugs and kisses. Well, at least that’s the experience in my foster home. Hopefully, I will be the same with you. I’m told dogs act differently in different environments, but the way I see things, if you have a lawnmower and a refrigerator, the environments are equivalent.

Weight:

Experience with Children:
I’m a puppy. Great with everything, subject to change as I get older.
Experience with Cats:
The best choice for a home with cats is an adult Siberian husky who has been introduced to cats and shown a positive reaction to them. All Siberian husky puppies are cat-friendly, but they often are not when they are a few months old.
Experience with Dogs:
I’m a puppy. Great with everything, subject to change as I get older.

Named for 9/11 Victim:
I was named for Tatiana Ryjova.
History:
Running at large, I landed in a county shelter. My humans did not come to look for me. I was adopted to someone who was unfamiliar with my breed. For those who love Siberian huskies, Siberian huskies are perfect, but not everyone loves us. Four days later, I was homeless again. So then I came to Pet Harbor.

More About Me: Pet Harbor volunteers always scratch their heads, trying to figure out why dogs are homeless. Here I am a puppy, sweet as can be. My foster mom describes me as about as perfect as a pup can be. I’m a cuddly little girlie. Yet, I was running at large and not reclaimed. Nobody knows why. All they know for sure is it wasn’t my fault. Let me give you a couple of examples. I was so absolutely fantastic at the vet’s office that they covered my ears and told people not to let me know I am a Siberian husky. They wanted me to continue to be angelic. Secondly, I love water. I am SO good that I will just stand there while you bathe me. See what I mean? Perfection. Hopefully my next home is my last and where I am wanted. Is that your home? Are you my new family?

Thank you for the adoption of Clare! We were happy to sponsor her adoption donation in memory of our Siberian Husky Kaya.

Kaya first came into our lives in the beginning of 2013 as a very young (newborn) puppy. From the get- go she was mischievous, stubborn, and in complete control of us! Always a social butterfly, she thought everyone wanted to be her best friend, and never failed to forget what a beauty (read: diva) she was. She never passed up the opportunity to stop in front of a mirror and stare at herself. To say she was the life of the party doesn’t begin to do her personality justice!

As she got older, we cherished her desire to snuggle every night, and her willingness to find new adventures everywhere we went. She was a traveler with us, living in Texas, California, Hawaii, and Virginia. If given the choice, you would find her outside sunbathing or basking in the fresh air on a long walk.

Over the years her nicknames changed constantly, and the last few years we had with her she was more likely to respond to “Fluff” or “Fluffy-Butt” than she was her own name. To us, she will always be our ‘Sunshine” because of her constant smiles and love for life.

We hope Clare’s adopters will cherish the new memories they will make with Clare and find as much joy with her as we did with our sweet Kaya.
