Here's what the humans have to say about me:
WE ARE SORRY BUT WE ONLY ADOPT WITHIN THE STATE OF FLORIDA
Nyac is an outrageously handsome boy, light red and white with amber eyes – one of the most beautiful combinations you will find in the world of Husky genetics.
He’s a bit shy at first meeting but warms up to you quickly when he realizes you are friendly. Because of his initial shyness it has been speculated by the shelter that this mellow boy may have been abused prior to being found as a stray. Once he knows you are his friend he looks for some much deserved attention and is soon your best friend forever, “BFF” as the Smartphone texting community likes to say.
Nyac gets along well with other dogs his size, male and female, but he’s less tolerant with the smaller dogs. He listens well when given instructions, knows some basic commands such as sit, stay, and come and responds positively to praise. He is a very loving and affectionate boy and loves playing (wrestling) with his foster brother Nikko.
He shows no food aggression with his humans or other dogs as he eats right next to his foster brother and sometimes out of the same dish. He walks very well on his leash, pulling a little at first but then stays by your side. He will lie at his humans’ bedside all night and follow them around wherever they go during the day. He has shown himself to be non-destructive, so no crate is necessary.
Nyac is heartworm positive so SHRF has started him on what the Veterinary community calls the “slow kill” treatment protocol. Since this method is actually easier on the dog but takes many months, it is highly likely he will be adopted before finishing the treatment. In this case, it will be up to the adopter to continue the regimen, or, under a Veterinarians care, administer Immiticide (a much stronger heartworm treatment). Nyac is young and otherwise healthy so we expect a full recovery as long as the treatment is continued.
Nyac is otherwise healthy, housebroken, neutered, microchipped and up-to-date on all his shots. Let this boy show you just how much better life is when you have a Husky, fill out an adoption application ON OUR WEB SITE, www.siberrescue.com, today.
