I went to my forever home on May 20, 2017!

4/2/17 Elizabeth

Status:

***IN HEARTWORM TREATMENT*** Tentatively available to go to my forever home in mid-May

Age (approx):

2 years old

Birthday (approx):

March 10, 2015

What am I?

Spayed female Siberian Husky

Colors:

Black & white, blue eyes

Weight:

50 pounds (as of 4/10/17)

Experience with Children:

My history with children is unknown. Since coming to Pet Harbor, I have interacted with children ages 0-18 and have displayed only positive reactions to them.

Experience with Cats:

My history with cats is unknown. So far, Pet Harbor has only done a preliminary cat test. During that test, I glanced at the kitties and lost interest. That is not yet a definitive test. An outside cat ran into my foster home. Like a good Siberian Husky, I grabbed it. Outside cats are prey, and I was protecting my foster home from that rodent! After heartworm treatment, I will be re-tested and the results will be posted here.

Experience with Dogs:

My history with dogs is unknown. I have met small dogs and play with them. I have met dogs my size and play with them. I have met larger dogs and play with them. I am, though, what one could consider a typical dominant female Siberian. Women rule!

Energy Level:

Medium

Owner Aptitude Level:

Northern breed experience preferred

Named for 9/11 Victim:

I was named for Elizabeth (Lisa) Martin Gregg.

History:

For the crime of running at large, I landed myself in the pokey and came to Pet Harbor from there.

Movies:

I am everybody’s girl!
Mini play bud

Dream Home Minimum Requirements: Do you think you have a couch? Forget about it! It’s mine. Do you think you have a bed? Forget about it! It’s mine. Do you think you can ignore me? Forget about it! I have plenty to say about that. My voice is melodious, though. So basically I do whatever is in my repertoire to get your attention. I go belly-up for tummy scratches. I look into your eyes and woo if you attempt to do something other than give me attention. I give you soft “Pick me!” kisses to raise my hand (paw). Lots of soft, fluffy fur that would love to sit with you while you brush it! Full of love. Just looking for a place to plant it (and a couch to plant my hiney). I did test positive for heartworm disease. So while you can certainly adopt me on paper, I cannot be considered fully adopted until my treatment has finished, which should be by the middle of May.

I went to my forever home on June 10, 2017!

Age (approx):

Birthday (approx):

What am I?

Neutered male Siberian Husky

Colors:

Black & white, blue eyes

Weight:

56 pounds (as of 3/22/17)

Experience with Children:

My history with children is unknown. Since coming to Pet Harbor, I have interacted with multiple children ages 0 to 18, and have displayed only positive reactions to them.

Experience with Cats:

My history with cats is unknown. I quickly failed Pet Harbor’s cat test. I focused intently on the cats and tried incessantly to get to them, not in a good way. For example, hear what I do when I see a cat on the other side of the door.

Experience with Dogs:

My history with dogs is unknown. I passed the initial dog test without issue. In foster care, I have mostly ignored other dogs because my desire is to spend 100% of my time with humans. However, I have expressed dislike of dominant male dogs. With the females and non-dominant males, though, I have had only positive interactions. All the dogs in foster care are 40 pounds and up.

Energy Level:

Medium-High

Owner Aptitude Level:

Northern breed experience required

Named for 9/11 Victim:

I was named for Sebastian Gorki.

History:

I landed myself in a rural shelter because I killed a goat. Instead of paying my bail, my owner chose to sign me over to the shelter. I was hungry. Isn’t there a legitimate Meals on Hooves program?

Movies:

Coming soon!

Dream Home Minimum Requirements: My foster mom can’t understand why my former humans abandoned me. After all, is it my fault I escaped? Perhaps had I been neutered, I might not have escaped. Perhaps had goats not lived down the road, I might not have escaped. Perhaps if I were not a Siberian Husky, I might not have escaped. Really, my foster mom doesn’t understand. She says I must have been left outside and tried to get inside because all I want to do is curl up next to my humans. I want to play with them, be with them, let them pet me, give them kisses. The only time I even want to be outside is when that is where my humans are. My foster mom says I’m just about the sweetest dog in the world. If you are lucky enough to become my humans, there is no way you will ever feel unloved.

I went to my forever home on March 18, 2017!

3/4/17 Alex & Moss

Age (approx):

1 year old

Birthday (approx):

February 26, 2016

What am I?

Neutered male Siberian Husky

Colors:

Red & white, brown eyes

Weight:

32 pounds (as of 3/1/17)

Experience with Children:

Pet Harbor does not know my prior history with children. I am new to Pet Harbor. Since coming to foster care, I have met children ages 0 and 3. I love them, but I am very much an in-your-face pup. Also, I am all puppy. While I’m gentle and kind, I do use my mouth on arms in play and I am rambunctious. So if your children understand that, we’re great!

Experience with Cats:

Pet Harbor does not know my prior history with cats. My initial cat test at Pet Harbor showed I was a little intimidated by the cats, but I had just gotten to foster care. This test was repeated on 3/12/17. So cats swished in/around/under me. I completely ignored them. No negative reactions at all.

Experience with Dogs:

Before coming to Pet Harbor, I lived with Alex, also available for adoption; and a small dog. Alex and I get along great. At Pet Harbor, I have met dogs similar in size to me and larger. I get along famously with them all. As I am all puppy, I frequently entice them in play.

Energy Level:

High

Owner Aptitude Level:

Young Northern breed experience is a plus!

Named for 9/11 Victim:

I was named for Brian Anthony Moss.

History:

Alex, also available for adoption, and I were dumped in a shelter with the excuse that our humans no longer had time for us. Alex and I are not littermates, but we supposedly came from the same “breeder,” although other untruths were uncovered in our former people’s story. So who knows where the truth lies?

Movies:

Play with me! Play with me! Pretty please?

Dream Home Minimum Requirements: Must. Have. Oranges. My favorite toy is a good old Clementine rolling across the floor. I pounce, play bow, wag, pick it up in my mouth, and run with it. Truth be told, really, all things are my toys. I am especially fond of people and dogs, all people, all dogs. Yes, I mouth, meaning I will put your fingers, your arm, my leash, anything, everything, in my mouth. Just like any baby. My mind is focused on play 24/7/365. So are you ready for animation? If so, then you are ready for me! Oh, and if you have oranges!

What am I?

Neutered male Siberian Husky

Colors:

Black & white, brown eyes

Weight:

33 pounds (as of 3/1/17)

Experience with Children:

Pet Harbor does not know my prior history with children. I am new to Pet Harbor. So far since coming to rescue, I have met children ages 0 and 3. I am fine with them, but unless they purposely seek me out, I mostly ignore them.

Experience with Cats:

Pet Harbor does not know my prior history with cats. My initial cat test at Pet Harbor showed I was a little intimidated by the cats, but I had just gotten to foster care. This test was repeated on 3/12/17. I did not react negatively. I did show a little interest but nothing at all negative.

Experience with Dogs:

Before coming to Pet Harbor, I lived with Moss, also available for adoption, as well as a small dog. We get along great. At Pet Harbor, I have met dogs similar in size to me and larger. I get along famously with them all. I frequently entice them in play.

Named for 9/11 Victim:

I was named for Alexander Ortiz.

History:

Moss, also available for adoption, and I were dumped in a shelter with the excuse that our humans no longer had time for us. Moss and I are not littermates, but we supposedly came from the same “breeder,” although other untruths were uncovered in our former people’s story. So who knows where the truth lies?

Movies:

I’m a Snuggler.

Dream Home Minimum Requirements: I’m a money saver. I’m the perfect dog for the winter. I snuggle up to you, as close as I can get. So forget heating costs, blankets, firewood. All you need is me! I’m a complete love bug, sticking as close to my chosen human as I can get. Though my build is on the tiny side, I do need groceries! So hopefully my family will continue helping me get to an appropriate weight. Around 45 pounds is where I should be. I’m really the sweetest dog you’ll ever have a chance to meet.

I went to my forever home on April 22, 2017!

Age (approx):

6 years old

Birthday (approx):

September 4, 2010

What am I?

Neutered male Siberian Husky

Colors:

Black & white, blue eyes

Weight:

111 pounds 🙁 (as of 3/26/17)

Experience with Children:

I have lived with children, including one with special needs, since 2012 with all positive interactions.

Experience with Cats:

I was cat-tested by Pet Harbor in 2012 and failed miserably.

Experience with Dogs:

From 2012 to 2017, I lived with a male Pomeranian. My interactions with other dogs Pet Harbor has witnessed have all been positive, including dogs of various sizes at dog parks.

Energy Level:

Low but will be medium when I return to a healthy weight.

Owner Aptitude Level:

Novice, but you MUST help me continue on my weight loss path so we can have a long, healthy, and happy life together.

Named for 9/11 Victim:

I was named for Ronald Tartaro.

History:

I lost my first home when I was 1-1/2 years old because my human decided he no longer had time for me. I then was adopted in March 2012. In 2017, I lost my second home because my human decided he no longer had time for me. ENOUGH! It is time I have my forever home. No more homelessness and no more abuse. For my human to allow my weight to be DOUBLE what it should be is abusive. NO MORE! I want to live!

Movies:

March 2017. To celebrate International Puppy Day, why, I play with a puppy, of course!
March 2017. Let’s congregate!
In 2012, I starred in Playtime at the Apollo

Dream Home Minimum Requirements: MY 2017 BIO: Do you know what an IFD is? Why, it’s an issue-free dog, of course. Some think perfect dogs are boring. I think perfect dogs are just that: perfect! Why do I think that? Because I wrote the definition of IFD! That’s why! So issue-free, I’ll bet I could get a security clearance! Sadly, someone has sabotaged my existence by allowing me to weigh double what I should. Extra weight on someone my size can be devastating to the joints. My foster dad, though, is helping me get back to a healthy weight. So that is my only issue, and it is certainly a temporary one. Do you want to go to dog parks? No problem at all! I socialize with all the dogs: young, old, small, large, male, female. A perfect Casanova, huh? Speaking of Casanova, I hope you enjoy kisses because I’ve got plenty of them for you. And, of course, if you love to give belly scratches, no problem! I”m all yours! Do you need exercise like I do? No problem. Let’s go! I love to walk, and I am building up my stamina. Soon, I’ll be happily taking long, long walks or even running! I look forward to the day I can really run and play with my Siberian brethren. Happy, healthy (My weight has not affected my health yet, and it won’t because I’m on the downhill side of it.), loving, friendly. Really, I go back to the beginning. I’m an issue-free dog.

MY 2012 BIO: Best home for me is totally ready for a PUPPY because I am ALL PUPPY! Complete goofball. Loving, funny, high-energy, dramatic, loud, a big sissy. I can live with other dogs or without other dogs, but I’m not a dog you can ignore. I don’t stop for a minute. I’m like a 2-yr-old child – always on the go, go, go. When I sit, I push into you. When I stand, I jump, bounce, kiss, play. No down time. I’m not a quiet dog and, therefore, would not be a good apartment dog. I would, however, be a great dog for someone who wants built-in entertainment. My main job is that of a clown! My second job is like Charmin because I’m so adorable you just wanna squeeze!

I went to my forever home on September 16, 2017!

Age (approx):

5 years old

Birthday (approx):

January 31, 2012

What am I?

Spayed female Siberian Husky

Colors:

Red & white, blue eyes

Weight:

61 pounds (as of 6/10/17)

Experience with Children:

My history with children is unknown. Since coming to Pet Harbor, I have interacted with multiple children ages 0 to 18, and have displayed only positive reactions to them. When I approach a group of people, the first ones I greet are the children. I nuzzle up and kiss their faces. When they pet me, I go belly up and exhibit no tension. Their sudden, erratic movements, loudness, or rough touches don’t bring reactions from me.

Experience with Cats:

On 3/12/17, I was cat-tested. I rushed the cats and bit a kitty’s foot. No, no cat was harmed in the test, but I am unable to live safely with cats. Before coming to rescue, I was tested with a shelter cat described as “fearless” and “spunky.” I was not reactive.

Experience with Dogs:

Before coming to Pet Harbor, I lived with Rhodes, who already found his forever home. We had no issues with one another. At Pet Harbor, I have met many dogs similar in size to me. I get along with them all. However, at events or walking on leash, I act like that other name for female dogs that starts with a b towards other dogs, snappy/growly, what my foster mom says is typical female Siberian Husky behavior. I was adopted with Taro and was bossy to Taro. So I came back to Pet Harbor. I am in a foster home. Sebastian, who already found his forever home, was my foster mate while he was with Pet Harbor. We had no issues with one another. As you can see in the photos, I have spent time with other dogs without any negative issues whatsoever.

Energy Level:

Medium

Owner Aptitude Level:

Novice

Named for 9/11 Victim:

I was named for Manuel Dejesus Molina.

History:

My humans were elderly and found they just could no longer take care of me. My human dad put Rhodes, who already found his forever home, and me into a shelter. While doing so, he sobbed because it broke his heart to lose us. You will see my parents took great care of us. We’re happy, well-fed babies with awesome personalities.

Movies:

I am Molina. I will melt in your hands!
Just a cameo
Always the center of attention

Dream Home Minimum Requirements: All I really want is someone to snuggle with me. Are you my snuggler? Just give me a few ear, tummy, or back scratches, and I’ll be putty in your paws. Toss me a few treats, and you’ve got an idolizer! Really, I’m sweet and not rambunctious. I have no clue why anyone would want to look further than me. Besides that, I’m super beautiful. Don’t you agree? Happy, too. Always happy. My only negative is I cannot be contained alone in a crate, but I’ll bet you feel the same and don’t want to be in crates either. Right? My favorite pastime besides snuggling is chasing ducks. Really, I love snuggling and want to do that 24 hours a day. Don’t you love that, too?

I went to my forever home on March 18, 2017!

Experience with Children:

My history with children is unknown. In foster care, I have interacted with children ages 0 to 18, and have displayed only positive reactions to them.

Experience with Cats:

Pet Harbor says I can live with kitties. I have been tested twice with kitties. I was not reactive either time.

Experience with Dogs:

In foster care, I have had no negative reactions to dogs, but I mostly ignore them because my desire is to spend 100% of my time with humans. I am polite about sharing my humans with other dogs, though.

Novice

Named for 9/11 Victim:

I was named for Wendy L. Small.

The shelter that housed me has outdoor kennels. Someone left me in the outdoor kennel, and the shelter workers found me there on Monday morning, February 13. So nothing is known about my history.

Cute as I can be, tap dancer extraordinaire
While I’m outside, I’d rather be inside
While I’m inside, I’d rather be eating!

Dream Home Minimum Requirements: Eleanor Powell is known as the Queen of Tap Dancing, but it’s a lie. I am the Queen of Tap Dancing. The best of the high-steppers, I will prance and tap and dance my way right into your heart. Check out my videos and see for yourself. I love my audience. Humans are my world. Come one, come all. I love all humans. Oh, and did I mention I like to gently and softly sing the song of my people as well? I’m a really great dog. So, like the rest of the Siberians at Pet Harbor, no one can figure out why I am homeless. Maybe you will be my forever dance partner?
