Age:

Birthday:

What am I?
Neutered male Pomsky
Colors:
White, blue eyes
Weight:
15 pounds (as of 5/11/18)
Experience with Children:
Though unverifiable, Pet Harbor was told I was raised in a home with children. Since coming to Pet Harbor, I have met two children: an infant and a preschooler. Except when I am crated, my experiences with them have all been positive. They’re a lot like me: puppies. So we have fun together!
Experience with Cats:
Pet Harbor does not know my history with cats, but as a young pup, I probably had no issues with cats. On 6/12/18, Pet Harbor performed a test for cat-friendliness, which I passed with flying colors. I see cats as I see dogs: friends and playmates.
Experience with Dogs:
Pet Harbor was told I came from a house with several dogs. I passed my dog-dog tests. Since coming to Pet Harbor, my interactions with other dogs have been all positive; in fact, so positive, Pet Harbor will only let me go to live in a home with at least one other dog for me to have a playmate. In fact, if you want to adopt a pair of dogs, the best companion for me would be my mother, Favuzza, also available for adoption.
Energy Level:
High
Owner Aptitude Level:
Experience required with dogs who have behavior differences
Named for 9/11 Victim:
I was named for Patrice Paz. Also, my name originates in Latin, meaning peaceful, quiet, and tranquil. Though my history wasn’t peaceful, my name reflects a hope that my future will be.
History:
Several dogs, myself included, were taken from our home and held by animal control at an animal shelter. When we were able to be released, two of us, my mother, Favuzza, also available for adoption; and I, came to Pet Harbor.
Movies:
  1. 5/26/18 – Ball, ball, ball!
  2. 5/26/18 – I’m so polite, even with a bone.
  3. 5/26/18 – I passed my food guarding test!

More About Me: Everyone really wishes they knew my history so they could figure out why I have such a split personality. I am a normal, happy, playful, bubbly, kissy puppy, but if I am crated or cornered, I become defensive. That’s why I need a family who will understand and work with me. Food-motivated, I am easy to train. Check out my videos. You’ll see how happy and peppy I am. Did I mention kissy? Oh, so kissy I am! Filled to the brim with love. My favorite toy is — well, I love them all: toys, dogs, children, adults. They’re all my favorite toys.

Named for 9/11 Victim:
I was named for Lisa Kearney-Griffin.
History:
I spent the first 3 years of my life living at the end of a heavy rope chain. A lady tried to help me, but she had no funds to care for me. Luckily for me, she knew an Alaskan Malamute rescuer. That rescuer saved my life and called Pet Harbor. Then I got adopted. I was in my new home 4 years. I thought I had found my forever home and family. Unfortunately, they had a baby and decided they didn’t want me anymore. So here I am: homeless again.
Movies:
  1. With Macie, I co-star in Black & White Dogs Can Jump.
  2. People! People! I Love People!
  3. I have a bit part in More People.
  4. I’m very photogenic. See my Beauty.

More About Me: My 2018 bio: Pretty much the same as my 2014 bio except I have a bit less energy now, which is a good thing! Unfortunately, partly, that is because I have gained too much weight. So hopefully my new family will help me find my lost figure.

My 2014 bio: Most dogs who share my history aren’t like me. I am extremely happy, sweet, loving, and friendly. I submit to bossy dogs unless they get too bossy and gang up on me. Then I find my chutzpah. I adore children. Well, heck, I adore all people. I give gentle kisses and take food gently. And you can take whatever you want from me. Don’t I sound like the perfect dog? I’m so different from other chained dogs. Maybe it’s because my chain was a heavy rope. And can you believe I never even tried to chew my way off the rope. I do have some pretty badly fly-bitten ears, but they’re healing. Now that I’m in foster care, I spent all my time playing with other dogs. I adore them. Of course, when people walk in the room, I forget about the dogs. People are the cat’s meow. And when toys are around, I also forget about the dogs. Toys rank right up there, too. And, of course, if you have treats, they’re all that and a bag of chips for me. I am extremely food-motivated. One thing you will notice about my happiness in these videos is I NEVER stop wagging. People could learn the lessons of gratitude from me. I do believe counters are made for walking and feasts can be made from garbage pails. I’m gentle and not one to barrel through others. So I’m a great dog for even the smallest of children. And I’m small built compared to big brutes. So your children will pick me anyway! Oh, one more thing. I never stop smiling.

Named for 9/11 Victim:

More About Me: Pink Panther. That’s what my foster mom calls me. She says it’s because I’m so pretty. My mission in life is to love. My occupation is as a kiss gardener. If I can’t reach your face to plant my kisses, I will stand on my hind legs and rest my paws on your arm to be sure I can reach you. If you are seated and ignore me so that I can’t do my planting, I will sort of roll into you so you can’t ignore me. I take my job seriously. Kissing you is my paycheck. I enjoy it as much as you do! When I’m not kissing, I am playing. My BFFs, other Siberian Huskies, and I are a three- to four-ring circus. Did you know Pink Panther is a circus clown? So if you are looking for a beautiful gal who loves gardening (planting kisses), you found her!

What am I?
Spayed female Siberian Husky
Colors:
Red & white, blue eyes
Weight:
44 pounds (as of 4/16/19)
Experience with Children:
Pet Harbor does not know my history with children. I was adopted & lived with 2 young boys. Elementary-aged children live in my foster home. I am rambunctious & strong. So I will knock down little children. Rough & tumble children are my favorite, but I do things on my terms.  When I don’t want to be bothered, I’ll let you know.
Experience with Cats:
Pet Harbor does not know my history with cats. A cat test has not yet been performed. It is assumed I cannot live with kitties. Once this information is known, it will be posted here.
Experience with Dogs:
Pet Harbor was told I previously lived with both male and female dogs. That information is unverifiable. Before coming to Pet Harbor, I passed my dog-dog tests with both male and female dogs. In foster care, I had daily interactions with other Siberians, both male & female. Those interactions were all positive ones! Then I got adopted to a home with an elderly female dog. Things were fine at first.  After a young male Siberian was added to the pack, my pack mentality caused me to fight the elderly female. Sadly, I lost my home. 🙁 In foster care this time, I have not been very dog-friendly. I have picked out one male Siberian to befriend, but other males (and females) are not my friends.

Named for 9/11 Victim:
I was named for Jon A. Perconti, Jr.
History:
My former humans surrendered me to an animal shelter with the flimsy excuse “Not enough time.” From there, I came to Pet Harbor Rescue. I got adopted. I was returned because I was trying to cull my pack by going after its weakest member.
Movies:
  1. 5/20/18 – Will work for treats!

More About Me: Every Siberian has an occupation. Mine is esoteric, but if you promise to keep it under wraps, I’ll tell you. Promise? Raise your right paw and repeat after me. Okay. Okay. I know you don’t have a paw. Go under the cone of silence, then. My career is . . . I am a stuffie cleaner. You see, I have this thing about stuffed animals. I lick them until they’re soggy. If you tell anyone, I’ll plead the Fifth. I do have a reputation to maintain, after all.

My secondary occupation doesn’t pay very well and, in fact, might even cost me at some point. I am a daredevil, focusing on the first half of that word! My foster mom moved the water bucket up high while she was cleaning. I climbed to get that bucket. Maybe I should be a firefighter. I heard those dogs are Dalmatians, though, and I’m not.

If I end up unemployed, I can always resort to being an auctioneer. I do like to talk. I have whole conversations with people. It’s kind of funny when you add that to another trait I have, that of sleeping through fireworks.

I am quite a happy and affectionate gal. I’ve had some training at some point in my short life & even know some tricks. It’s pretty easy to train me because I am treat-motivated. My den (crate) time is great. Unlike some boisterous Siberians, I’m calm & content there.

I’m working on my leash skills. The right kind of collars work wonders because I am strong & energetic, ready to go, and need the right kind of collars to keep your arm in its socket. I totally enjoy outings. In fact, every open door is an invitation for an outing!

What am I?
Neutered male Siberian Husky
Colors:

Weight:

Experience with Children:
Pet Harbor does not know my history with children. Since coming to Pet Harbor, I have met children ages 1-4. New people & noises scare me but not for long. Within a couple of minutes, I was kissing the children. A rowdy household, however, is not for me. Bookworm children & I would get along famously!
Experience with Cats:
Pet Harbor does not know my history with cats. On 5/6/18, Pet Harbor tested me for cat-friendliness. They say I failed. I say I passed. I guess it depends on which side you are rooting! The bottom line is I cannot live with cats.
Experience with Dogs:
Pet Harbor does not know my history with dogs. I passed my dog-dog tests with both male & female dogs similar to my size. Since coming to Pet Harbor, I have met several dogs around my size. I have mostly ignored them, no negatives. There are 2 other dogs in my foster home, and we get along great!

More About Me: All I really want is to be loved and feel safe. I am super sweet, with a bit of shyness. I warm up quickly, but I will revert if there are loud noises, such as thunderstorms, or changes happen too quickly. As you can see in the photos, my tail likes to live under me. I’m so afraid someone is going to hurt me. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to know what happened to me in my past to make me this way? Yes, my tail does come out from under me. The more time you spend with me, the more I trust you, at least until the next time I am frightened. I’m the type of dog who makes your heart skip a beat. My success is your reward. I give the softest kisses, and I love to kiss. All you need to bring to the table is a bit of patience and understanding. I’m not the type of dog you can put in the backyard and expect me to stay there. Other dogs are okay, but I don’t have to live with other dogs. Children are great, the quieter the better. No kitties for my home, though. I’m just looking for a family who wants a handsome boy who gives soft kisses and rides really well in the car to show me love and understanding and let me be their reward.

Cute little “woos.” Mischievous. Sleepy. Playful. Not a care in the world. Clay to mold. But guess what. We do grow up! Pet Harbor has very strict policies with regard to puppy adoptions to ensure that we have forever homes.

What am I?

Colors:
Red & white, bi-eyed (one blue eye, one brown eye)
Weight:
35 pounds (as of 2/22/18)
Experience with Children:
Pet Harbor does not know my history with children. I am young, strong, and energetic Siberian. So I will run laps over, under, and around young ones and barrel through them. I also use my mouth in play, and it hurts. So if the children are rough & tumble, then that’s perfect, but if they are more reserved, I might be too much dog for them.
Experience with Cats:
Pet Harbor does not know my history with cats. On 3/30/18, Pet Harbor performed a cat test. I failed the test. For the safety of cats, I cannot share my home with them.

Pet Harbor does not know my history with dogs. I passed my dog-dog tests with both male and female dogs. My interactions so far in my foster home have all been positive except with one dog who bullies me.

Experience with Children:
Pet Harbor does not know my history with children. Not only have I had positive interactions with all of the children I’ve met since coming to Pet Harbor, but I put on my best dancing shoes & imitations and flirtatious nature to entice them. I absolutely adore children of all ages and give it my best shot to get as close to them as I can get. They make me happy.

Pet Harbor does not know my history with cats. On 3/30/18, Pet Harbor performed a cat test. I failed the test. For the safety of cats, I cannot share my home with them.
Experience with Dogs:
Pet Harbor does not know my history with dogs. I passed my dog-dog tests with both male and female dogs. In my first foster home, there were 2 other dogs: a large male and a small female. All of my interactions with them were positive. I just wanna play! In my 2nd foster home, I attempt to play 24/7. Ann, also available for adoption, is my bestest friend and we play, play, play, play.

More About Me: Really, all you need to know about me is I am ALL Puppy! I’m happy, playful, mischievous, and loving. Pretty much the same as most Siberian Huskies. Great with kids. Great with dogs. Good for what ails you. What more could you possibly want? The best home for me has children and dogs. The second best has children or dogs. There is no third best. I like to play with dogs by day and snuggle with people by night. There is no dog happier than I am, but if you want me to be ecstatic, have children & dogs.

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 interactions have been positive. Of course, I knocked the wee ones over when I tried to jump up to give them kisses. I didn’t realize I didn’t have to actually jump to reach them. It doesn’t matter. Whether they were up or down, I was able to shower them with kisses!
Experience with Cats:
Pet Harbor does not know my history with cats. On 2/24/18, I was cat-tested. I completely ignored the cats. Seriously, I had no interest in them at all.
Experience with Dogs:
Pet Harbor was told I lived with a 2-year-old male Siberian Husky before being dumped in a shelter. Pet Harbor performed my dog-dog test with a female dog in heat and I passed with lots of wagging. Since coming to Pet Harbor, I have met multiple dogs & had all positive interactions with them. I even tried to play with Mr. Grumpy Dog. And, yes, as you may have guessed, I never stopped wagging. Completely out of my character, though, I did not like the male Lab mix in a different foster home.

Dream Home Minimum Requirements: Cute as a button or, since Easter is around the corner, a little bunny rabbit with soft chocolate eyes. Wags. That’s my nickname and claim to fame. I NEVER stop wagging. I’m a doll, a sweetheart, an easy keeper. I’ve been tossed around to so many homes recently that I pace a bit on unsure feet when I first get to a home. Noises from things like dishwashers or vacuums, those things scare me. So if you don’t want to clean house, you will have an excuse if you adopt me! I love to play – with kids and most dogs. I am a tiny girl who could easily curl up in your lap and shower you with kisses.
