Age:

1-1/2 years old

Birthday:

July 6, 2018

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:

Medium-High

Owner Aptitude Level:

other

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?

Age:

Birthday:

October 28, 2017

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:

Medium-High

Owner Aptitude Level:

Northern breed experience preferred

Named for 9/11 Victim:

I was named for Marcus R. Neblett.

History:

My former “owners” surrendered me to a county animal shelter. The reason they listed was “No time.”

Movies:

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.

52 pounds (as of 1/3/20)

Experience with Children:

In my foster home, I have met children of various ages and have interacted perfectly with them.

Experience with Cats:

Pet Harbor was told I participated in ending a cat’s life. Erring on the side of caution, Pet Harbor will not place me in a home where a kitty or kitties reside.

Experience with Dogs:

Pet Harbor was told I am great with other dogs. In my foster home, being with the other dogs (except the males who act like roosters) is fine, but being with humans is what I really want.

Named for 9/11 Victim:

More About Me: As good as I am handsome. In the Goldilocks story, I’d be the one who is just right. Just the right level of playfulness, just the right amount of soft kisses, just the perfect energy level. Everything. Not too hard, not too soft, not too energetic, not too lazy. Just right. Ready for a Siberian pup who is just right? Have a cat-free home? I’m ready to go with you! Please don’t forget the porridge!

1/11/2020 Saada Cuddles

Age:

1 year old

Birthday:

November 3, 2018

What am I?

Spayed female Siberian Husky

Colors:

Red & white, blue eyes

Weight:

45 pounds (as of 11/23/19)

Experience with Children:

Pet Harbor was told in my former home, I lived with children of various ages and, although great with them, had an energy level too high for them. In my foster home, I have met children of all ages and have interacted perfectly with them. Yes, my energy level is high, exactly what would be expected of a Siberian my age.

Experience with Cats:

On 12/13/19, Pet Harbor introduced me to a cat. I was friendly with the kitty until she ran. Then all bets were off & I went after her as a Grinch. My home, therefore, must be cat-free.

Experience with Dogs:

In my first foster home, I played with other Siberians for hours daily and cried when separated from them. The best home for me likely has another dog of similar energy and playfulness levels.

Energy Level:

High

Owner Aptitude Level:

Young Northern breed experience required

Named for 9/11 Victim:

I was named for Thierry Saada.

History:

I was surrendered to an animal shelter “Because she is too wild/too much energy for young children.” In other words, I was surrendered because I am a young Siberian, as simple as that. From there, I came to Pet Harbor.

Movies:

11/23/19 – Hi, I’m Saada!
1/11/20 – Toy, toy, toy!
1/11/20 – I’m so cuddly

More About Me: Bubbling over with kisses I am. I have lots of love to give. I also have loads of energy. I can fly around a room with the greatest of ease. Hopefully there is no speed limit. When I land, it is likely to be in your lap! Cuddling is my favorite activity. Sweet, playful, full of fun and love. What more could you possibly want? So do you have another pup to be my companion? I need plenty of exercise. So are you ready to provide that? Can you handle all of my love, kisses, & energy? If so, let’s go home!

What am I?

Spayed female Siberian Husky

Colors:

Black & white, blue eyes

Weight:

38 pounds (as of 10/30/19)

Experience with Children:

At this time, Pet Harbor’s experience with me is sudden movements & noises frighten me. I am progressing in my foster parents’ attempt to combat my shyness.
Rowdy children might reverse that trend.

Experience with Cats:

Information coming soon.

Experience with Dogs:

Since Pet Harbor has known of my existence, all of my interactions with other dogs have been positive. Life prior to that is unknown. Fergus, the other dog in my foster home, also available for adoption, and I have bonded pretty quickly. We do not have to be adopted together, but my home should have at least one other dog around my size from whom I can continue learning how to overcome my shyness.

Energy Level:

High

Owner Aptitude Level:

Shy dog experience required

Named for 9/11 Victim:

I was named for Giovanna ("Gennie") Gambale.

History:

Running at large, I was trapped and brought to an animal shelter. From there, I came to Pet Harbor.

Movies:

Coming soon!

More About Me: The one major thing to learn about me is my shyness. Rewards are immense when a shy dog trusts, but the journey to that point is taken by people who are kind, patient, knowledgeable, and understanding. More info coming soon.

I went to my forever home on March 13, 2020!

Age (approx):

1 year old

Birthday (approx):

November 15, 2018

What am I?

Neutered male Siberian Husky

Colors:

Red & white, blue eyes

Weight:

47 pounds (as of 12/9/19)

Experience with Children:

At my foster home, I have met children of all ages and have been great with them. In fact, I have lots of kisses for the 3yo. You can call it cleaning her face of the food all over it if you want. I prefer to call it love.

Experience with Cats:

Pet Harbor was told I was okay with cats but chased them. Then when I left the shelter, I spent the night with a family with kitties before I was transported to my foster home. They introduced me to the kitties, and I was fine with them. Then on 12/13/19, Pet Harbor introduced me to a kitty. I mostly ignored kitty. I had other things on my mind. While the kitty did catch some of my attention, it wasn’t predatory attention. On 12/28/19, Pet Harbor introduced me to more kitties. I completely ignored them. I was more interested in the kitty litter. 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:

I can take them or leave them. When I first got to my foster home, I was in my element with other dogs, but the longer I’ve been here, I’ve decided while I really love playing with them, I also like to puff out my chest and ruffle my feathers. So I can be Barney Bad Boy with other dogs as well. So my home can have dogs or can be dog-free. Well, I mean, if I’m there, it won’t be totally dog-free. Anyway, either way works for me.

Energy Level:

High

Owner Aptitude Level:

Young Northern breed experience required

Named for 9/11 Victim:

I was named for Daniel M. Coffey.

History:

The short version is I was surrendered to an animal shelter when my caretaker was evicted. From there, I came to Pet Harbor.

Movies:

11/15/19 – I mean, I guess we can share
11/15/19 – Meeting a kitty cat
12/14/19 – Belly rubs and hear me roar
1/11/20 – I like human more than toy
1/11/20 – Let’s go!
1/11/20 – I give the best kisses
1/11/20 – Will you be my friend?

More About Me: Really comical. I love to play. Toss a ball and let me prove it. Grab a toy and let’s play. Squeak a toy and watch me fly across the room to the direction of the squeak. I am so much fun and will keep you in stitches. In foster care, I’ve been good with kids, cats, and dogs most of the time. I’m polite & know commands. Why does Pet Harbor require I go to an experienced home, then, you ask? Some Siberians make sounds that can be interpreted as mean but aren’t. My adopters must understand that vocalization. Here is a video that captures exactly what I’m talking about because my family needs to understand this behavior displayed by an otherwise perfect me! More importantly, how much time do you have to toss me a ball?

What am I?

Neutered male Siberian Husky

Colors:

Black & white, blue eyes

Weight:

49 pounds (as of 11/6/19)

Experience with Children:

Pet Harbor was told I spent quite a bit of time with a toddler in my previous home and that I was great with the child. Since coming to Pet Harbor, I have met children up to age 6. My interactions with them have all been positive.

Experience with Cats:

Pet Harbor was told I previously lived with one cat and ignored said cat. While a Pet Harbor volunteer was walking me, we came upon an outside cat. The cat took off. Although the volunteer thwarted my efforts, I was interested in pursuing the cat. Siberian Huskies tend to have a strong prey instinct and often show extreme, even fatal, aggression towards cats. While I lived harmoniously with one cat, that may not translate to all cats under all circumstances.

Experience with Dogs:

Pet Harbor was told I got along fine with two dogs in my previous caretaker’s home. Since coming to Pet Harbor, I have met a few dogs. All my interactions with them have been positive, but I have had turmoil in my short life & am mainly focused on trying to figure out where I am and if I get to at some point have my own family and home.

Energy Level:

High

Owner Aptitude Level:

Young Northern breed experience required

Named for 9/11 Victim:

I was named for John M. Rigo.

History:

Due to a tragic event, through no fault of my own, I ended up with a wonderful caretaker temporarily, which became a permanent situation & an impossibility. So I ended up with Pet Harbor Rescue.

Movies:

Coming soon!

More About Me: Besides groceries, what I need is a family who does not mind getting kisses from me. All. The. Time. My foster mom thinks I’m a really good boy. Of course, she’s right except so far I have not seemed to enjoy car rides. Everybody who has met me talks about how sweet I am, though. So balance is everything.

I went to my forever home on January 11, 2020!

10/10/19 Morgan Obedience

Age (approx):

4 years old

Birthday (approx):

October 15, 2015

What am I?

Neutered male Siberian Husky

Colors:

Black & white, one blue eye, one parti eye (both blue & brown in the same eye)

Weight:

56 pounds (as of 11/27/19)

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 have been an easy dog & don’t try to barrel through them. Also, I give soft kisses. Even the youngest of children I’ve met have liked me.

Experience with Cats:

Pet Harbor does not know my history with cats. On 12/28/19, Pet Harbor introduced me to a cat. Although my handler did not allow me close enough to have an aggressive reaction, my reaction was pretty strong. So the best home for me would likely be without a cat. I barked at the kitties nonstop, but it could have been a play response. I sometime bark at dogs in play. I did maintain a focus on the cats that was not easily distracted.

Experience with Dogs:

Pet Harbor does not know my history with other dogs. During my evaluation, all reactions from me with other dogs were positive. Since coming to Pet Harbor, I have met several dogs. Most of my interactions with them have been positive. I play nonstop with other Siberians! When I meet a new intact male, though, I tend to puff up my chest, so to speak.

Energy Level:

Medium-Low

Owner Aptitude Level:

Novice

Named for 9/11 Victim:

I was named for Richard Morgan.

History:

A good Samaritan called animal control because I was in a backyard tied around a tree so tightly I could not move. I just sat there and whimpered. They rescued me and took me to the county animal shelter. From there, I came to Pet Harbor Rescue.

Movies:

10/10/19 – Look at me sit and lay down!
10/10/19 – A little meet and greet
10/10/19 – All explore and no play
10/10/19 – My food bowl test
10/26/19 – I like my toy
10/26/19 – Loving all the loving
10/26/19 – That feels so nice!

More About Me: Such an easy keeper. Really, I’m just about perfect. Well, if you lived the life I lived before, you’d be grateful, too! I have a tiny bit of trepidation, but while I cower slightly, I simultaneously wag my tail ever so gently. And I’ll give you soft kisses, too. I also sing and have a most beautiful voice! The thing I love to do the most is have my belly scratched. Try petting me. I will always slink down into a position where you can reach my belly. I really am a fabulous starter Siberian. I had a growth on my leg removed the day before Thanksgiving. That means my carving started early. The biopsy results show it was a soft tissue sarcoma. There is a possibility it will come back. There is an equal possibility it won’t. But I’m fine. And what we thought was hip dysplasia turns out not to be. Xrays show at some prior point, I had a fracture in a rear leg that has healed really well, likely with a cast, but it’s something that has to remain unknown because Pet Harbor has no way to find out my medical history. Nothing affects my awesome disposition. Even my vet, who is not a fan of Siberians, thinks I’m awesome! And my foster mom thinks I’m truly amazing. Don’t you feel the same way?
