Story
Meet Havarti! When he arrived as a stray, Havarti was a bit reserved, so we weren`t sure what to expect, but it turns out he`s a SOCIAL SUPERSTAR!!. As a husky, he of course has some energy and needs exercise and a fairly active lifestyle, but that`s easy to provide because he`s quite adaptable - he has great communication skills with other dogs and is polite with them, he can stay calm in hectic environments, he does great for car rides, and he`s been gentle with young kids. He takes a minute to warm up to new people, but once he gets to know you, he loves to chill, cuddle, and soak up the petting! He loves getting out and about and is highly adaptable and flexible to whatever is going on. He may do well with another politely sociable dog, and/or a home with kids. Cats and other small pets may not be a great fit. If you`re in the market for a One in a Million angel dog, come and meet Harvarti!!

Story
Meet Chowder! This dog came to the Shelter as a stray underweight and not so sure of the world around him. With time and patience, Chowder has warmed up to staff and volunteers. Chowder has an affinity towards other dogs and would thrive in a home with a confident, well socialized dog. Chowder has met various large breed dogs at the Shelter and has enjoyed playing with them. A home with a playful, well socialized dog may help Chowder to learn that the world around him is not so scary. Any resident dogs should meet at the Shelter prior to adoption. We do not have any history of Chowder with cats, small animals or kids. Chowder’s adopters are recommended to be patient with him in the transition while he learns life skills and manners and acclimates to the home.

Story
WEIGHT: ~95lbs.Do you keep asking your parents for a pony and they keep saying no? Maybe next time you should ask them for Hunter! Weighing in at a solid 95 pounds, this big loveable lug may as well be a small horse. Sure, Hunter is a few pounds overweight but that doesn't stop him from goofing off in the yard, playing with other dogs, and jumping in the pool (yes, even in the rain)! At 6 years of age this gentle giant truly deserves to find himself his forever home. He's a pretty clever guy and has been known to open doors when no one is looking so a home with a secure and escape-artist proof yard would suit him well. Because he could stand to lose a few lbs. to be in optimum health as he approaches his early senior years, he is looking for adopters that are going to be up for daily walks and playtime. He is great with older kids and often partakes in our kids' camp and after school programs. That said, he can be a bit sensitive to handling so a home with 'handsy' or 'grabby' young children might not be the best fit. We heard through the grapevine that he has a history of chasing cats, so maybe no felines; but, with proper introduction here at the shelter, a canine buddy would be great for him! Hunter has been hanging out in a rad foster home. Here is what his foster has to say about him."He's very confident- he knows what he wants and isn't afraid to ask for it (or take it, like a full bag of treats left on the counter ??). He loves attention- will need a fairly active home to keep him stimulated. He would thrive in a home with another playful dog! He's respectful of my dog's boundaries but it's obvious he would love a little more play time from him. Has a pretty high prey drive. He seems completely potty trained. In general, he loves playing, going in and out of the yard, stuffed play toys, and treats of course! He's loyal and protective, but not aggressive to other people. When I think of the definition of a "dog" he pretty much fits the bill. He'd be a super fun, goofy, loving addition to any home." Think he might be the pony, I mean dog, for you? Call the shelter Wed-Sun 11-5 to schedule a meet and greet!

Story
WEIGHT: 55lbs.Meet Lily- This 8-year-old Husky girl is still full of energy and sass. She is fun on walks and will walk politely next to you on a loose leash. Lily can get over stimulated during play and has been known to jump up onto people or ‘mount' them. She is easy to redirect in these moments, but adopters with small children may want to take this into consideration. Lily does well with other dogs that can match her rough and tumble vocal playstyle but laid-back dogs might find her to be a bit too much. At 8 years old, Lily is in good health, and will benefit from a continued healthy diet to ensure that she stays at a good weight for her size. Adopters may also consider starting her on a joint supplement or exploring arthritis medications in the future to keep her joints healthy and strong! If you would like to come and meet her, feel free to call our adoptions desk or stop by during Browsing Hours: Wed-Sun 11-5.

Noel is a beautiful brown-and-white Siberian Husky with the most charming demeanor.  Her gorgeous eyes tell how much she loves you.   Noel loves activity – walks, hikes, and playing with other dogs.  But she loves her people so much that if you need a lazy day, she’ll happily cuddle up with you!  Noel listens very well and would love to have a job, or a human who does advanced training with her.    Noel gets a little separation anxiety when left alone, but is working on this in training.  She loves toys (especially destroying stuffies!), so puzzles that challenge her brain may help her learn to appreciate solo time.  Noel knows how to be quiet when asked, and even behaves for her baths!  With continued positive training, she will shine.   Noel gets along well with her foster dog-siblings, and even defers to her dog-savvy cat-sibling!  She would love to have fur-siblings in her forever home.  We recommend a home with only older human siblings because Noel (adorably!) is afraid of small children.   To arrange meeting Miss Noel, we ask that you help us learn more about you and your household by filling out our online application: www.tinyurl.com/AdoptMeNow  May 6, 2024, 1:13 am

Story
Chumuelo is a three year old neutered male with a wonderful personality. He is super friendly and loves to play with balls in particular.  He LOVES long walks. If you know Huskies, you know they love to be active. He and his mom are bonded and we are looking for a home for them together. They play well together and that helps burn off a lot of their energy. Huskies make wonderful family pets, but like most of the working breeds, they do best in specific circumstances. We are looking for adopters who have experience with Huskies or other high drive, highly intelligent breeds (for ex:  Doberman, GSD, Belgian Mal, Cattle Dog, etc) Chimuelo, and his mother, Sky were owned by a family who loved them, but who's circumstances changed to the point where they are not able to give them the attention and care they need.  Luckily for them, they are such wonderful dogs that two neighbors stepped up to supplement the attention the family was able to give. Over time everyone realized the dogs would do best with a single home that could give them what they needed - a place and people to call their own.  The neighbors, Craig and Susan, would each love to take them, but they each have cats, and the dogs are not safe with cats.  These dogs were raised in a family with kids and love them.  Throw a ball for him and he will be your friend for life.We are helping Craig and Susan find the right home for this wonderful pair.  (The original owners have surrendered the dogs to them.) You can fill out an application for either of them and it will apply to both dogs. Please note: Chimuelo needs a home with no cats.Chimuelo is ok with small childrenChimuelo needs lots of exercisePrevious medical records are available for Chimuelo.More information & application [ts=1715670045&src=aap]

Story
All of our foster dogs are kept in individual homes.  Go to our website Bayareasiberian.org to get the foster home contact if you do not see it in the bio. Inna is a sweet, affectionate, well socialized, fun and lively puppy. She is friendly with other dogs she meets and lives with 2 mellow indoor cats. Inna is a head turner, with pretty tri- color, light gray wolf colored, super soft fur, with snow white underside and those Husky blue eyes with an adorable, silent film star “eyeliner” mask! She Is at the perfect puppy age, cute and playful and eager to learn, but past the teething and lost-sleep-at-night phases!  Inna would love to be matched with an outdoor lover like herself to go on hikes, runs and long walks with. She loves bouncing about with her toys and riding in the car with wind in her face. Inna has been loved and raised by one family, since she was 9 weeks old, sharing her time between her dog mom's suburban apartment and her dog grandmother's ranch. She is equally comfortable with leash walks in city parks and streets and ranch life with a fenced pasture, a rugged digging area, a giant lawn and trail walks. Inna loves kids, and frequently visits and plays with children ages 1-8, but needs supervision. Inna is spayed and has all her shots. She is leash trained, has attended fundamental puppy training class and knows basic commands but needs more work, is crate trained and house-trained. Available to her new owner are all her toys, kennel, bed, gear, and a Fi collar. Her dog mama is dealing with medical issues that now prevent her from giving Inna the home she deserves and grandma can't keep up. She is being placed because the owner has health issues that keeps her from being able to care for the dog. Go to BAYAREASIBERIAN.org for contact information on the foster dog.May 7, 2024, 12:28 pm

All of our foster dogs are kept in individual homes.  Go to our website Bayareasiberian.org to get the foster home contact if you do not see it in the bio. Cricket! Oh you lucky lucky Cricket! She’s a tiny little lucky Husky ready to be your goof luck charm.   Cricket is a 35# Husky girl about 9 months old with fluffy ears and a hippity hoppity spring in her step.  She could possibly be a Pomsky given her personality and zest for fun. Cricket almost didn’t make out of the shelter system but she’s here safe in foster now.  She adores playing with other dogs but with her rough experiences is cautious with new people. Foster mommy recommends older children with dog savvy as a better fit for play time.  It doesn’t take her long to warm up though if her doggy buddies tell her you are good people! She just needs calm and patience. Lucky Cricket’s best life would be with another very playful dog in the home and experienced dog owners.  She is still a puppy so though she is excellent in crate she is still learning her house manners.  She LOVES walks, short or long.  She adores playing chase with humans or dog friends and tries her best to be the bestest tug of war rope player ever.   She enjoys couch TV surfing and can clear your baby gates in a leap because hanging with the family is the MOST fun. Do you have time to play with an active bundle of hip-hopping Cricket joy? Is there room for training, consistency and taking those fun outings? Can you commit to crating and a playful fur friend at home who needs a buddy? This is the girl for you!  We can’t wait to meet you. Female, 35#, Blue eyes, Black and white, crate trained, spayed, chipped, all shots, not house broken quite yet, working on consistent leash training and voice commands.

He is a friendly dog and loves walks, running around the yard, retrieving a ball. He is pals with Daisy who will also be listed on this website. They both love eating peanut butter and chewing on rawhides. They love going to the dog park and running around off leash (as long as they are in an enclosed area. The are both very sweet dogs. They get along very well.    This is a courtesy posting- please contact the foster home directly for more information...Kevin- elephantbedding@gmail.com 510-944-9868     Go to BAYAREASIBERIAN.org for contact information on the foster dog.May 7, 2024, 12:28 pm

Story
Meet Akira! This malamute mix came to the Shelter as an owner surrender after her previous guardians were unable to continue caring for her. Her previous guardians described her as patient, obedient and friendly. She lived primarily outdoors in her previous home and may benefit from a home where she has access to the outdoors regularly as she prefers to lounge outside. Akira is a smart cookie and would enjoy continuing to bond with a guardian through positive reinforcement based training. She already knows “sit”, “give me a hug”, and “give me 5” so she is off to a good start. Akira enjoys going for walks and, despite being a middle aged gal, is still strong on leash. An active adopter that will take her out on adventures would be a great fit for this gal. Akira has some fears of small dogs and has not previously lived with any dogs. Akira has met dogs at the Shelter and communicates to them when she does not want to interact. A quieter home as the only dog would be the best fit for Akira. High traffic dog areas (such as West Cliff or It’s Beach) is not the best fit for this gal as she doesn’t want to comingle with other pups. Akira enjoys playing with toys – particularly squeaky toys. If you are looking for a sidekick who is more of a canine introvert – come meet Akira today!
