Story
Meet Jiska
Jiska is 4 years old, the perfect age. She’s well past the puppy stage but still has plenty of life ahead of her. She has wonderful house manners, no bad habits, and is an incredibly easy dog to live with.
She has a calm, low energy personality with an excellent off switch. Whether you’re working from home, relaxing on the couch, or winding down after a long day, Jiska is happiest simply being near her people. She loves to lay at your feet or curl up on the couch or bed if she’s invited.
Jiska is incredibly sweet and affectionate. She loves attention, enjoys being brushed, and will sit and take treats gently. She’s dog neutral and has an easygoing, loving personality that makes her a wonderful companion.
In the home, she’s everything you could ask for. She’s potty trained, crate trained, and naturally clean and quiet. She would benefit having a crate available as her own den and will often choose to settle there on her own with the door left open.
Because Jiska spent much of her life living outdoors with limited exposure to everyday household life, she’s still building confidence with certain experiences. She can occasionally be a little skittish around unfamiliar noises or objects, so she’d do best in a calmer home where she can settle into a routine. She continues to gain confidence everyday and lets her sweet personality shine.
Jiska enjoys going for walks and has excellent leash manners, happily walking right by your side. Like many huskies, she has a bit of prey drive and may be tempted to chase squirrels or other small critters, but she’s otherwise polite and easy to handle on leash. She also rides exceptionally well in the car and is happy to accompany you wherever life takes you.
If you’re looking for a loyal, gentle companion who enjoys being close to her people, Jiska is ready to find the family she’s been waiting for.
The adoption fee for this pet covers the cost of care which may have been for several weeks or several months depending on the health and other needs. The fee also covers all vet bills during this time to ensure his/her health is improved or maintained and provides you with assurance that this dog has been well cared for while in our possession and evaluated to meet your home's needs. Included in this fee is also life- long training support provided by PLAY! K9 Academy located in Parrish, FL as well as Life time microchip registration. When you adopt from a local shelter, you may not receive any medical history for this dog nor will you receive any behavioral history. We hope you understand that the minimal adoption fee we are asking is to continue our mission to rescue unwanted herding and working breeds from shelters/owners and get them adopted to their forever home.
