Husky puppies and dogs in Utica, New York

Star is fostered in CA. Star is great with dogs, but having energy can play excitedly and may not be a fit for puppies or elderly dogs. Star is a gorgeous girl with brains and energy to match! She might be blind, but that doesn’t slow her down at all. She navigates just fine and all the important things (food, sniffy walks, petting) don’t require sight. Star also had a couple of seizures, which the vet is calling idiopathic epilepsy since no other cause was found in testing, so she takes Keppra and that has prevented any more episodes. She has already learned a lot of words, including: focus, sit, step, and walking. Given her puppy energy level, she would love to be in a home with another dog her size or bigger and no small children or cats. Star *loves* meeting new people and dogs, exploring her environment, eating, walking, and snoozing in her crate or in the car. She is still learning to be the best dog, but she is a quick study. She needs a family experienced with Huskies or similar breeds who are willing to continue her education. If you are active and ready for an energetic beauty, contact us to learn more about Star!

Pepper came into our care after originally being found as an injured stray in TX. She had severe skin issues when she was found but has healed up beautifully and is moving on with her life! She is currently in a foster home with other dogs and cats. Pepper would like to get adopted with another dog in the home to play with. She is slightly timid, so little kids may be too much for her, but super sweet and loving. An adopter with husky experience would be ideal! Pepper is mostly house-trained and crate trained. Give us a call for more information!

A friend of a friend is trying to rehome this guy due to unfortunate life circumstances. He is 3 years old, fixed with all shots up to date. He is deaf from birth, but understands hand gestures. He loves to play and “work” with humans. He is also very friendly with other dogs (not sure about cats).

She didn’t react strongly to them so I think she will be okay with cats . Age: 3-4 years old. Breed: Husky (according to the vet clinic who rescued her). Health Status: 3-legged (healthy, vaccinated, and microchipped). Background: Ghost was rescued in Riyadh, Saudi in 2022 with a severe injury in her arm that required immediate amputation. The rescuer (a client in the clinic) asked them to perform the operation and she will pay them later, so they did. Only for her to never answer their calls or pay any amount. The clinic kept her which is admirable however they NEVER did any effort to find an adopter. She stayed in the clinic for a year+ in a small cage without them making a single post about her. I go to the clinic frequently to help them find homes for the abandoned cats and every time I ask about the dogs, they tell me they don’t have any. I don’t understand their reasoning, but they finally told me about ghost in October 2023. They said it’s complicated and the rescuer should have taken her.   Personality: She is very friendly and energetic! She loves loves attention and her favorite thing in the whole universe is walks. She is super smart and well behaved but would need more training and guidance. She recognizes instructions but doesn’t always follow. I think it’s because she is caged and bored so when they ask her to go back, she refuses. They sadly don’t walk her a lot. She is good with other dogs, and I think she will be a fit with cats as well. When she passes to the cats area, she never barks at them she just passes quietly          All dogs are located in NY/NJ area All our puppies need puppy play dates/doggy facetime so we recommend homes with other pups or daily interactions to keep them tired out, happy and social.     Facebook: Zani's Furry Friends ZFF (weekly adoption event info posted there) Twitter: zanisff  Instagram: zanisfurryfriends   Dogs are spayed/neutered, UTD on age appropriate vaccines, Rabies vaxed, and microchipped (not Lyme vaxed but we seriously recommend it!)  All are in the NY/NJ area but we will adopt out of state to the purrfect home and in some cases, we can arrange transport.  Please go to our site  https://zanisfurryfriends.org  fill out an application  Many of us (cats/dogs) will be on display on Saturdays or Sundays, weather dependent--please ask by writing us at dogs@zanisfurryfriends.org and following us on FB.

She’s good with dogs and was super chill when in the presence of cats, too.  Please apply for this wonderful girl so that she has a home waiting for her upon arrival..

Tong is a handsome senior man. He is about 8 to 9 years old and looking for a home to retire in. Tong is good with some dogs - mostly he just likes someone to pal around with that isn't going to want to jump all over him. He needs an adult home with no kitties, either. Tong is a bit of a loner, but when he wants attention, he can be quite the cuddle bug. But it is always on his terms (is he a cat?) Tong is housebroken and enjoys walks.

Casper is a handsome young guy who is looking for a loving home to land in! He's a sweet goofball of a man who would love to sing to you every day.

Kristoff is being fostered in TX. Kristoff's foster home would like you to know: That Kristoff is the embodiment of Happiness! This little man is filled with joy in everything he does. His tail waggle is ever present and he does a happy dance regularly. He truly is a joy and just wants to be where you are. Kristoff does shed. He has a shed similar to a husky or Shepard, where he has seasonal times where he blows his coat. Meet Kristoff (aka Kris, Little Man)! This precious pup is a chow mix, approximately 9 years old. But don’t let his age or blindness (he is blind due to cataracts) fool you, he is a spry, happy go lucky guy who can sure pour on the puppy dog eyes! When he wakes up he will do a happy dance to start the day (whether it is because he is so happy to greet his people or because it is time for breakfast is up for debate) and his joyfulness continues throughout the day (he is equally enthusiastic about bedtime!). Although his happiness abounds, he is mostly an easy going fellow and is content to enjoy the simple pleasures: his meals, leisurely strolls through the yard, chewing a bone, enjoying a cookie and most importantly, being near his people as much as possible. He is a low maintenance boy, doesn’t require a lot of walking and would thrive most in a laid back environment with someone patient, who doesn’t mind talking a lot (your voice will help guide him) and who can give him helpful hints to help him on his way (like “bump” warnings, etc). Kris can become a bit jumpy when scared or unsure, but trusting his people fixes that. The world can be a scary place when you can’t see, but most of the time he takes it in stride. He moves slowly to find his way and needs to build trust so he can feel safe. Luckily he is very smart and a fast learner (he learned how to find and use his foster’s doggy door within a day & lets himself in and out, and quickly learned “sit” and now enthusiastically sits on his own to wait for his meals). He doesn’t always love getting leashed, but he does follow along (happily, once he trusts the person on the other end) and he is definitely not a fan of car rides. Kris gets a little protective over food & treats and will give a warning grumble but he is otherwise ok with other dogs, he just isn’t too interested in them. Unsure about cats or kids. But we all have our things, right? This well behaved boy is content to sit in his room or crate, patiently waiting, and loves a routine that allows for lots of rests and doggy massages on request. The yard is his happy place. And above all else, this fellow is a pure joy to be around. If you have the time and patience to help this little man navigate the world, you will soon realize that you are very blessed to have this bundle of love by your side!
