Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Snow White is an extremely special gal, and to be 100% upfront, we are going to be EXTREMELY picky on what home she gets placed into.
Snow White is a 12 year old, Siberian husky. She is altered and up-to-date on vaccines. She is dog friendly. She is low-medium energy. She is afraid of children. We don't have cats, or small animals, so we cannot speak to her behavior around them.
Snow White (and a few others) came to us in 2012 as part of an owner surrender / hoarding situation. She was not socialized and has always been extremely fearful of humans, when she first arrived she might as well have been classified as feral.
During her time with us, we found that on the line running is where she really shined. At the end of a run she would feel confident, and calm, enough to enjoy some pats and loving from the crew. As much as she enjoys running, the time has come where she really can't be doing it any more for preventative health reasons (she is 12 years old after all).
Snow White is an extreme flight risks (ie: she will be uncatchable if she becomes loose). She also takes a VERY long time to warm up to new people (but is not fear aggressive). She needs an adopter that doesn't mind having a companion that is appreciative, and sweet, just not outwardly affectionate in the "normal" dog way.
We are looking for a home that is in a country/rural setting, is husky savvy and ideally has experience with shy dogs (or the willingness to hire a behaviorist to teach the necessary tools).
Also, the ideal home would have a second dog (or more). Snow White does best with other dogs around. She will actually mimic other dogs energy and looks to them for behavioral cues. We truly believe this would help her come out of her shell faster in a new home.
A home without kids is a must, not because she is mean, or aggressive, but because they really overwhelm her and freak her out. We also worry that younger kiddos may accidentally leave a door open too long, etc. creating more opportunities for a scared Snow White to escape.
If you've read this far, you are amazing! We mention all of this not to sound discouraging, but to let potential adopters know what to anticipate as far as what we are looking for since Snow White is a "special case" of sorts.

We have a comprehensive adoption process that includes: a questionnaire/application, reference check, in person meetings, etc. We understand that this process may seem lengthy, but we want to ensure everyone both two and four legged is being setup for success. Our adoption fee is $250 and covers: health certificate, microchip, DHLPP and Bordetella vaccines, and spay or neuter.
