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

3/24/17 Taro

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!

What am I?

Spayed female Siberian Husky

Colors:

Black & white, blue eyes

Weight:

47 pounds (as of 2/25/17)

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.

Energy Level:

Medium

Owner Aptitude Level:

Novice

Named for 9/11 Victim:

I was named for Wendy L. Small.

History:

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.

Movies:

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?
