Siberian Husky

Male, 3 yrs 9 mos
Mountain View, CA
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Three years old, neutered, and was a rescue; it takes some time for him to earn your trust; he is strong and sometimes pulls on leashes when walking. He has typical stubborn husky behavior; no cats or small animals, and no kids under 14, please, due to his mouthy and nipping behavior, and his bite is strong; sometimes you will bleed if you force him, so do not! Always ask for his permission before patting him, especially when he is lying down, which is the most vulnerable position for an outdoor animal like him during his earlier life when he was left outside 24/7 in the yard with a lack of socialization and human interaction. He can stay by himself for around 4 to 6 hours, but remember that Husky is a pack animal, which is not recommended for more than 2 hours. When leaving him alone, you need to lock him outside or create a safe zone for him inside the house; just like most huskies, they will start to be destructive and chew when bored. Generally, after three years old, they will begin to calm down. He was never crate trained, rides decent in the car, but makes lots of exciting noise! Trial adoption is recommended; feel free to see if he fits your family, I need to find him a good home, so I do not mind taking him back if things do not go well with the adoption.

German Shepherd Dog Husky

Story
Redding is a handsome boy who requires a home that can help establish boundaries for him. Redding is house-trained and enjoys car rides, playing fetch, and playing in the water. He is also a regular in the shelter playgroups and does well with other dogs. Redding is a working dog who will benefit greatly from training and a savvy adopter or foster. He is two years old and is likely a Shepherd/Husky mix. Please help us save Redding by sharing his story. Observation comments: It takes time to familiarize and gain trust, so a slow introduction is recommended. This animal requires an experienced handler. It does not do well with sudden human approaches from all directions during the first meet-and-greet. Summary: Due to its size and strength, kids need to be supervised around the dog. This animal requires some space for himself, so do not approach without permission from the animal. Attempting to socialize with this animal is safe at a short distance away without constant, straight eye contact. If this animal acknowledges you, he will approach you naturally and accept your invitation. Once that happens, you will be his best buddy for life! Redding has a hit-or-miss personality. His German Shepherd is a bit picky, but he plays well in the boarding facility playgroup and has been tested at our partnered local boarding club. His personality will change with a calm, quiet, loving home over time.

Story
A beautiful husky weighing 58 pounds was found stray from the City of Porterville in California. The animal has a microchip, and all shots are up to date. You need to meet him in person to appreciate it! Mellow and calm, very cuddly and affectionate. He is good with kids over 14 but no small animals, and he does not like big dogs; he is better off being the only animal in the household. Typical escape artist, he will accompany a GPS collar as well. So even if he hops the fence (which he did, according to the previous owner), you can track him whenever, wherever. Having this husky is a commitment, but he is a wonderful companion, and it's better when his handlers work from home most of the time. I will also guide you through his journey by conditioning him and supplying crates and calming remedies when needed. Our commitment to every animal is essential for a successful adoption and saving their lives. We are here whenever you need us after the adoption. Shell this animal is not a good fit, we will gladly accept his return.

This girl is a beautiful shepherd mix. She is housetrained and mellow. They need experienced handlers space to roam and time to socialize with family members. Due to the nature of this breed, all adoptions will be judged on a case-by-case basis; adopters need to reside in the legal area.
