My personality

My story

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

Meet Baloo!

This energetic four-year-old boy is curious and needs a home where he can cuddle and just be a husky! He can get into things when bored, he will create his own fun (usually not human approved). Daily walks and training will help curtail this behavior. Baloo does well on leash but can pull at times. He knows basic commands. He is treat-motivated but watch out for tasty morsels left on the counter, they’re fair game to him!

Baloo has separation anxiety and needs a secure crate (which the rescue will provide). He needs continued work getting comfortable in the crate when alone. Baloo sleeps in his crate or on the tile floor. Baloo is house trained and good with a 5ft fence.

Baloo likes to play but tends to play roughly. Unlike most Huskies, Baloo will retrieve toys! Although Baloo is loving with people, he is not good with sharing a home or his people with other canines. He seems to be good with other dogs outside. While on a walk he can stroll past other dogs with good manners. However, while inside he is not good with other dogs. So, being an only dog. would be the best fit for Baloo.

Baloo will need an experienced dog savvy person. If allowed, Baloo can try to protect food and toys. A trainer has been working with Baloo and he has shown improvement. The trainer can remove items from Baloo without incident. DVSHR will continue to provide behavior modification under the guidance of the trainer.

Baloo is good during a veterinary exam. Allergy testing confirmed Baloo is allergic to wheat as well as environmental allergens. He can be treated with drops twice a day.

In the case of dogs too young for neutering, a deposit is required from the adopter. This deposit is fully refunded upon receipt of a neuter certificate.
DVSHR volunteers will evaluate a DVSHR dog for health, temperment and behavioral problems prior to placement. The adopter should keep in mind that problems may still exist.
An adoption fee is collected to cover vet and housing expenses of DVSHR dogs. Fees vary on age and number of dogs adopted. As a non-profit organization, we require a donation of $500 for Puppies up to 6 months. Unaltered Puppies up to 6 months are $500 + $150 at time of adoption with $150 refund upon proof of spay/neuter. Dogs 6 months to 7 years are $350, dogs 8 - 9 years are $200 and dogs 10+ years are $125

for heartworm, on heartworm preventative, tested for fecal parasites and treated when necessary, treated with Sentry FiproGuard Plus to prevent flea and tick infestations, and up-to-date on all shots. Additional testing is completed and treatments provided as needed for any dog exhibiting any health concerns.

More about this rescue

Siberian Husky rescue has become a need as a result of many individuals obtaining Siberian Huskies from for-profit breeders or pet stores that do not provide the education and support required to raise these beautiful dogs. The Delaware Valley Siberian Husky Rescue, Inc. (DVSHR) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) dedicated to the placement of unwanted or abused or homeless Siberian Huskies in permanent loving homes. We are centered around Philadelphia, Pennsylvania with volunteers working throughout most of the Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, and Delaware region.

DVSHR was founded by individuals from the Siberian Husky Club of Delaware Valley, Inc. These individuals were concerned for the well being of Siberian Huskies whose popularity had increased creating a profitable opportunity for puppy mill breeders. Given the lack of general public information on the breeds quirks and the irresistible cuteness of a Siberian puppy, the need for rescue became apparent as shelters received numerous dogs from illprepared owners.

The organization was incorporated in 1995 and registered as a Nonprofit 501(c)(3). The mission of the organization was set to find permanent homes for unwanted Siberian Huskies, provide public education on the breed, and assist Siberian owners in dealing with training issues.

Since its beginning, there have been hundreds of dogs that have found permanent homes though the hard work of the volunteers. The faces and names may change but the efforts of the organization will contiune.
