My story

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

Name: Frankie

Sex: Female

Color: White

Eye Color: Blue

Birthday: 12/30/24 (estimated)

Weight: 44lbs

Large Dog Friendly: Yes

Small Dog Friendly: Yes

Cat Friendly: Unknown

Crate Trained: Yes

Housebroken: Yes

Energy Level: High

Reaction to New People: Loves everyone

Kid Friendly: Yes, though she does jump so might be too much for young children

Training: Knows sit, is learning to walk on a leash and learning to not jump up when she's excited

Grooming Needs: Regular brushing

Fence: Not required but she would love a fence so she can run off all her energy

Solo or Siblings: Sibling preferred but not required

From the Foster: Frankie is an absolute lover! She is both sweet and spicy! She has piercing blue eyes and the softest puppy coat you can imagine!
Frankie has lots of energy and wants to be walking, chasing, wrestling or any activity. Once she's tired she'll settle in for a good nap (but will get up if you move and she thinks there is food involved). She is on a good routine and gets plenty of outside time both morning and afternoon. She still pulls on walks but it is getting a lot better as time goes on. She is just interested in every sight and smell and has to check everything out! She loves to run and wrestle in the yard with our husky Braxie. She loves to chase him and bite his tail and ankles. She antagonizes him and is always trying to get him to play. Once they take a break she usually curls up next to him or comes to lay by us. She does bark when she gets excited or is playing, but doesn't bark at dogs or people she sees out and about. We've had play dates with other huskies and she's done great with all of them, even the calmer, older ones.
Frankie is crated during the day. She'll go in for some treats and will bark for a few minutes but then settles down. When we get home she barks to get out, more for love than because she has to go potty (priorities 🙂). She's in her crate between 6-8 hours when we are at work and has never had an accident in there. She is potty trained but has had a few potty accidents. She knows to go to the same spot where there are a few pads. When she goes potty we have to walk around for a few minutes so she can go potty multiple times. She's pretty regular and predictable. She gets up to go out during the night about half the time, usually around 2-3am.
Frankie generally sleeps 10pm-6am unless someone gets up, then she usually gets up to follow. She really wants to be near her people. She sleeps on the bed or on the rug next to the bed. She loves to sleep next to Braxie or on the pillow next to our head.
She is a good eater and doesn't miss a meal. She eats her food, any and all treats she's given, some people food and things you leave unattended or within reach. She will jump up to the counter if there is something there she wants and she'll lay at or on our feet in the kitchen as we prepare food. She eats her food and will try to eat Braxie's if he walks away from it. She has shown no aggressive behavior about food or anything else.
Frankie is the sweetest girl! She is not afraid of anything and doesn't have a mean bone in her body. She seems up for any adventure and just wants to be included. We feel she'd do best with another dog or people that are home most of the time. Being left alone a lot could be hard for her.We love Frankie so much! It will be hard to let her go but we know the perfect family is out there waiting for her!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Step 1 – Application:
Please begin the adoption process by completely filling out our online application. We’d like to get to know you and find out what interests you in Siberian Huskies! We cut no corners when it comes to finding the right owner for each dog, please keep in mind that the total process can take a few weeks to complete. Typically you can expect to hear from an Application Coordinator within 72 hours of completing your application, but this could vary based on our volume. Make sure to check your email, including your junk/spam folder, if we have any questions based on your application we will follow up with the email you provided. Applicants must be 21 years of age.

Step 2 – Reference Checks:
After we review your application, we will begin the reference and vet check process. Difficulty reaching references is the step that delays the process the most, so please make sure to let your references know we will be calling them.

Step 3 – Home Visit:
One of our volunteers will be reaching out to you to schedule a home visit. During this home interview we would like to meet with all members of the household, so please make sure everyone will be home. The home visit is an opportunity for us to help you understand the breed and their specific characteristics, make sure your home is secure and safe for a Siberian Husky, and answer any questions you might have for us about the breed. This will also help us determine which Siberian Husky is a good fit for your family.

Once this step is completed your application, reference checks, and home visit file will be submitted to our Adoption Committee. Typically an Adoption Coordinator will follow up with you within a week of your home visit to provide an update on your status. Please be patient during this process as the volunteer who completes your home visit will need time to document their visit, and our Adoption Committee will need to review your entire application.

Step 4 – Meet the Dogs:
Once you have been approved for adoption you will be able to meet the available foster dogs. All of our dogs are housed in our network of foster homes around Minnesota. A Foster Coordinator will reach out to you to determine which dogs are a fit for your family, and help you schedule meet and greets for those you are interested in. You and your family, including any current pets, must be willing to drive to meet any specific dog you are interested in. If you don’t find the perfect fit right away, we will keep your application active on file.

Step 5 – Completing the Adoption
Once you’ve found the perfect new family member, and their foster home feels the same, we will meet with you to complete the Adoption Contract, and go over the dog’s likes/dislikes, behaviors, and any specific needs. At that time you will be able to bring your new family member home!

Our Adoption Fees are:
Age 0-1 year – $400
Age 1-3 years – $350
Age 3-6 years – $300
Age 6+ years – $250
**The State of Minnesota requires sales tax on all pet adoptions, this is included in our adoption fees listed**

All Adopt A Husky Minnesota dogs are:
Spayed or neutered before adoption
Evaluated for temperament and trainability
Up to date on rabies, distemper and bordetella, Heartworm tested and on preventative year round
Microchipped

Before applying, consider the following:
Are all household members in agreement about adopting a Siberian Husky and willing to participate in a home visit?
Are your current pets neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and current on heartworm testing and hw preventative?
Are you ready to adopt within the next few weeks?
Are your vet and personal references aware that they will be receiving a phone call from us?
Adopt A Husky Minnesota will not place dogs outside of its geographic area. We will accept applications from ND, SD, IA, and WI, but cannot guarantee to adopt to bordering states.

Visit www.siberianrescue.com to find a rescue in your area if you are not in Minnesota or one of our bordering states.

Important:
Please be aware that we do not hold dogs for applicants while they go through the adoption process. We urge you not to set your sights on just one dog, as there may be someone further along in the process interested in that same dog. If that home is determined to be a good match, the dog will be adopted to them. We cannot discuss specific dogs until a home is approved.

Keep in mind that Adopt A Husky Minnesota is 100% operated by volunteers, please be patient as we work to help you find your next family member. We promise, they’re worth the wait!

Our top priority is always the dogs! We take great pride in the homes in which we entrust with our dogs and that their next home will truly be their forever home. Therefore, we ask that you understand and respect our adoption process.

More about this rescue

Adopt A Husky Minnesota is a Siberian Husky rescue organization which was formed by a group of hardworking volunteers committed to saving the lives of unwanted dogs and puppies both locally and across the Midwest.

In 2017 we found that our rescue was growing at a rapid rate, both in the number of volunteers signing up as well as the number requests asking for help. We split off from our Sister Rescue, Adopt A Husky, Inc., in Illinois, to form what is known today as Adopt A Husky Minnesota.

Our dream is to educate the general public about this beautiful breed and provide care for the multitude of homeless huskies that have found themselves in the shelter system. We know that animals play a unique and important role in completing families which is why we believe our huskies deserve a second chance to become part of a forever family.
