My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Siberian Husky

I am stunning beauty Claire, with ice-blue eyes and three freckles on my nose. I am a very sweet, gentle, 5-year old, 50-pound, female who came to NorSled as an animal cruelty victim who'd never been allowed inside, even during prolonged 105 degree heat, lived in filthy conditions and not fed enough food to keep me at a good weight of 55-60 pounds.

At first, I preferred to stay just out of reach of humans and needed to be on lead to catch me, but once on lead, I was gentle and didn’t pull. I do know to go potty outside, learned how to use the doggie door quickly, so could be allowed to stay indoors during the. And just turn on the sprinklers and watch me go crazy playing in the water.

Since my rescue, I have had lots of human contact, and my personality has come alive. I want to be with humans and will curl up on the floor to be next to them. If it's evening and you're sitting on the couch or chair, I will come over for hugs and some petting, though I need to come to you on my own terms. I am still sensitive about you petting my sides, so I do pull away, but I am learning that petting is comforting. I have learned that treats are for fun, wait for my share and eat when my humans are in the room. Although I love playing with the other small dogs in the home, I would prefer a larger friend to run and play with and would make a fantastic jogging companion.
