Saber's Story
-Written by Saber, a 10-month-old, 27lb male Husky mix.
---------------------------------------------

It was never supposed to be like this. I always thought that family is family. Family sticks together no matter what. So, I don't understand. I don't understand how my former family abandoned me. I spent 10 months of my life with them. I was with them since a puppy. We played together, we laughed together, and I thought that we would be together forever. I don't understand why they abandoned me. I don't understand why I ended up all alone. I don't understand why I was left to wander aimlessly trying to find my way home. Trying to figure out what happened. One day I was with them and the next I wasn't. I looked for them when I was hungry...they weren't there. I looked for them when I got scared being outside in the dark all alone...they weren't there. I looked for them when I was tired of walking around...they weren't there. What happened? Why did they abandon me and leave me all alone in this big ole world?

When I was finally picked up, it wasn't my owner. It was someone who picked me up and took me to the shelter. Have you ever been in the shelter? Have you ever heard the please from the other animals there? The terror that everyone feels worrying that they may not make it out and they cannot do anything about it? I was just a puppy. I should have not been in the shelter, but then again that is what everyone was screaming. They shouldn't be there! I waited for my people to come for me. This was surely all a mistake. They didn't intentionally abandon me...definitely not. They would realize their mistake and come for me. They never did though. I served my stray hold and soon started to try and plead my case to anyone who walked past my kennel. Hoping that they would choose me...begging for someone to get me out of the shelter. It turns out that this rescue had caught wind of me at the shelter and when I wasn't reclaimed or adopted, they welcomed me to their fluffy butt family.

It wasn't long after coming to my foster home that I met the other dogs. I immediately felt more at ease with them. I am a total sweetheart around them and love to run and play with them. Shortly after I met the cat, and the meeting went great! The cat was actually really nice and while she didn't want to play with me, I still liked her. The kids were up next, and I love them! They were so sweet and loving and I really enjoy their company. Since coming to my foster family, they have had visitors and I am very friendly and sweet with them. My foster has taken me outside the home a few times and each time I was very friendly to anyone that we met. I must admit that I do jump up for pets but am gentle about it. If you think about it, I am actually making it easier on you. I am a smaller dude so by jumping up on you I am making it easier for you to pet me ;) When we do go out, I do well on the leash. My foster has also taken me on walks and I enjoy them. While I have not been on a hike yet, I do believe that I would have fun on one!

Speaking of fun, have you heard about this game called fetch? My foster has been trying to teach me how to play it. I will chase after the ball but then will look back at you with a look that says "Now what?". I haven't quite figured out what I am supposed to do after chasing the toy down, but the game definitely has me intrigued! I do enjoy playing with toys, who knew that they could be so fun? I, especially, love squeaky toys but I am still learning to share. I don't like when another dog tries to take the toy that I am playing with. Before you fault me for that, can I ask how you would feel if a person came and tried to steal that little rectangle thing that people seem to always be on? Uh Huh...that is what I thought ;) My foster family does have a doggie pool set up, but I have not shown interest in playing in the water.

When my foster family is away, they let me have free roam of the sunroom and I do well. I am potty as well as kennel trained. I am betting that you would be quite interested to know that I am not a chewer. So far, I have done a great job of sticking to my toys and not chewing on anything that I shouldn't. I make no claims to be perfect though, and still recommend that my new home be puppy-proofed. At least initially until we know that you don't have anything that might tempt me. I am about to blow your mind a little more...I am not a barker! I know Husky's are supposed to be vocal but I am a quiet Husky...I know...is there even such a thing?! I don't know if that may eventually change once I feel secure in my new home but for now it is rare to hear a bark from me. Given my size and personality, I do believe that I would be a candidate for apartment living.

My foster family refers to me as their pocket Husky! At only 27 pounds, I am pretty small...even for Husky! I am the perfect size for traveling with or taking places and I love meeting people. So, you have no excuse not to take me with you when you go somewhere. Plus, I am such a friendly and outgoing guy that we certainly want to deny anyone the chance to meet me. And I mean that in a totally non-egotistical way 😂 If you want to take me out to a restaurant with you, I am down. However, I should warn you that I seem to have a bit of a sensitive stomach so it might be best to avoid feeding me people food or straying too far from my diet...as much as it pains me to say.

I don't know why my last family abandoned me. I don't know why they let me down and broke their promise of commitment to me. Family doesn't do that. Family sticks together through thick and thin. I am telling you right now, that I can't...I won't be someone's "until dog" again. Going through abandonment once is enough for me. I can feel it in my heart...in my sould that my realy family is out there. The one that will let me climb in their lap and pass out while cuddling with them. The one that will be home a lot or have another doggie companion for me if they work a lot. The one that will love all of me and never let me go. If you are that family, then please put in an adoption app for me at
https://www.pyrpawsandfluffytailsrescue.com/adoption-app

Once you have submitted your application, it will be sent on to my foster family for consideration.

I am currently residing in Skiatook, OK but am okay with relocating in state or out of state. I should warn you that while I do ride well in the car, I sometimes get a little car sick on the longer rides.

My adoption fee is $250.
That will include my DHLPP, Rabies, and Bordetella. I will be micro-chipped, have a fecal done, be de-wormed, be spayed/neutered, and will be current on heart-worm and flea/tick prevention
