Here's what the humans have to say about me:
WE ARE SORRY BUT WE ADOPT ONLY WITHIN THE STATE OF FLORIDA
Nala IV is a sweet girl who was found abandoned in someone’s yard with her two month old Husky mix puppies and brought to a shelter. The shelter was able to adopt out all her pups and SHRF took Nala into our adoption program.
Nala is very loving, good with other dogs and great with kids, although in her excitement may knock over the toddlers. She gets very excited when greeting new people and jumps on them, so she is being trained in this area. Nala loves to be close to her humans and lie on her back for belly rubs.
She has shown no food aggression with people or other dogs - she is even accepting of another dog eating out of her bowl. Nala is also a counter surfer so until she is trained out of that habit, don’t leave the prime rib at the edge of the counter.
Nala walks well on leash but pulls when she sees a small animal like a squirrel. She does have the typical Husky prey drive, but hasn’t shown those instincts towards cats, so it is possible that she may have been around them before. Her fosters introduced her to their outdoor cat in a supervised meeting and Nala appeared very comfortable with her, even to the point of sleeping next to the cat.
Nala’s fosters are dealing with some apparent separation anxiety. She is unhappy being left alone, even for a short while. She is crate trained and for now; the crating may actually be necessary until she becomes comfortable that he is not being abandoned when her fosters leave. As long as she is greeted warmly when her humans come back and she becomes confident that that they always do come back, she should eventually stop acting out and not need a crate. Most Huskies never need a crate, much preferring being close to their humans.
Nala is healthy, Heartworm negative, spayed, housebroken, microchipped and up to date on all her shots. After a rough beginning, she deserves a second chance at life. Give her a loving, forever home and fill out an adoption application on our web site, WWW.SIBERRESCUE.COM, today.
