Husky puppies and dogs in West Linn, Oregon

GRAHAM is a 2 year old, neutered, 4 year old, 40 lbs., Siberian Husky that came into the Orange County shelter on 01/04/2026 after he was reportedly seen being dropped off near the fire station in Silverado Canyon. The caller stated that he and his wife witnessed a vehicle abandon a Siberian Husky from a vehicle in Silverado Canyon approximately 10 minutes ago. He stated that he observed the silhouette of a person remove the dog from the passenger side of a mid-sized sedan on the turnout near the Forest Fire Station. The vehicle then drove away. GRAHAM was impounded by an Animal Control Officer who used a catch pole because he was growling. At the shelter, GRAHAM was initially scared and growling, but within a few days staff was able to leash him and remove him from his kennel. Shelter Staff Notes: * 01/13/2026: eager to come out of kennel; attempted to door dash. Eventually able to leash with no issues. Dog walked out easily, sniffed various bushes and engaged with environment. Did not look at me or come towards me despite offering treats * 01/14/2026 Easy to remove from kennel today, no issues with door dashing. Non-reactive to other dogs, hackles up when passing by very reactive dogs but otherwise did well. * 01/15/2026 Easy to leash, wide eyes, walked out nicely. Let roam around, able to pet with no issues. Walked him around the shelter, does not pull, walks nicely on leash. When putting back in kennel and taking leash off, his eyes became wide, and body was stiff. I slowly took leash off and once it was off, he did a little jump. * 01/21/2026 Easy to leash, non-reactive towards other dogs when passing by. Walked around the big open yard. Sniffed around, took treats. * 01/23/2026 Easy to leash and pull from kennel. Does well on leash. No pulling & no reactivity towards other dogs while passing by kennels in building. ##2655194##

3 yr old white M Siberian Husky Notes from his foster:  Chip is a very loving and intelligent. What an amazing dog! He has so much love to give, yet at the same time he has high energy! The husky traits are definitely there like talking to you, of which is  moaning and somewhat of a soft howl. His new adopters should be aware of what those traits are and with any negative ones he is trainable. But it needs to be a constant reminder to him, he is very trainable as an intelligent pup could be! He loves laying on the couch next to his human. He'll either lay his head on you or lay with half of his body on you, which means he wants loving!   The shelter estimates Chip to be 3 years, I challenge his age to be at least a year    younger. I've looked at his teeth, evaluated his boundless energy, and when playing with other dogs, he acts like a pup.   He does well with indoor cats, but he sometimes goes up and sniffs them like he's checking to make sure they are ok.  If he is outside and one runs away he will chase it -supervision is a must   It's not a good idea to have small animals like rabbits, guinea pigs or hamsters. Due to the huskey's high prey drive! Chip would be great in an active home that loves the outdoors and is busy with outdoors activities with him, like hiking or swimming. He loves water so much that he plays in his water bowl and likes to bite at the water coming out of the hose. Thankfully he's learning to do it outside in his water bowl only. The daily walks which    he needs, he has been doing extremely well on not pulling, except at the beginning or if another owner/dog is walking by. He'll pull because he is very excited to meet them. I have him sit and calm him down until they have gone by. He loves car rides to a fault. If a neighbor gets in their car and starts it up he will continue running around the car until you call him off. But keep attention on him because he's known to run after the car, like let me in, you forgot me!   Chip would do best in a cold weather environment. We haven't had time to take him to the snow but I can imagine him loving it! He loves to go out on the deck late at night. He lays with his nose in the air, wide awake enjoying the cold night. Then he comes in and either jumps on the bed partially laying on me. Or if I'm rolled    over towards the middle of the bed, he'll lay on the bed along the edge. Always waiting to be petted. And yes, we do have other pets but once he moved in, he took over everything! If something is on the floor and becomes missing whether it's a dog item or an item of his human, Chip has most likely picked it up and moved it somewhere else. He does know how to share. He is not food aggressive, will let my labradoodle eat out of his bowl with him. And he shares all of the other pets toys he took over. When all the pets are resting or it is bedtime, his high energy is gone and he calms down to a resting state, sleeping too.   He does need a home with another younger high energy dog to play with, my 2 15 year old Yorkies are not playmates. My 5 year oldlabradoodle adopted as apuppy    during COVID did not learn how to play with dogs. She sure knows how to play with Chip whether she wants to or not. She always runs out of energy way before he does. Chip might even bless a family with another high energy dog. They will wear each other out. And eventhough my Yorkies don't play he has learned to leave them alone occasionally forgetting and dangles a toy over their head as they show their growling teeth, so he moves on.   Chip is very friendly with people one of the only things he hasn't learned is not to jump up on the person. He's so excited to meet someone new,  that to get their attention he thinks they needs to be eye to eye. Kids he has had little exposure. He will do well with kids just needs an adult there to watch over until he calms down with his     excitement. He is also vey dog friendly unless the other dog turns aggressive on him he will respond back to correct Most of all he becomes very attached to his humans and loves them MOST of all !!!   ##2559846##

Nira here is a thoughtful heart and chase queen! Nira is so fortunate and is waiting for her adoption day living in a loving foster home. Her foster shared Nira is both house and crate trained and has been a fun addition to her crew of dogs and kids. Basically, she kinda slid right in and has been playing and snuggling ever since. Before reading on, be sure to watch Nira’s YouTube video to see her love of toys, drive by kisses, and gorgeous listening ears. https://youtu.be/OnUqeKf6NCs Nira is a sweet, thoughtful girl who can take just a beat to warm up to new people, but once she feels safe, she shows her loving, playful side in the most genuine way. She’s not the type to rush in, she prefers to observe a bit before making her full, loving commitment.. And when she does? You’re an item. This girl is wonderfully dog-oriented and truly shines when she has canine companionship. Her confidence noticeably grows when another dog is present, and she relaxes into herself much more easily. She enjoys play that involves chasing and movement, and even though we cannot say with a guarantee what her breed is we see her herding instincts come out when a good round of chase gets going. She also gets a little vocal when she is playing but it is all in good fun. She would do wonderful paired with a medium-energy, goofy dog who can keep things fun. As much as she loves playing with a doggie friend- she is more than happy to entertain herself with a toy. Stuffies are a fave but she has yet to meet a toys she didnt enjoy. With people, Nira needs time and calm introductions. Her foster shared that new environments and unfamiliar faces can seem to overwhelm her at first, so she’ll do best in a quieter home that understands the value of slow trust-building and a little patience. Once she bonds, she seeks affection, jumps up to ask for love, and happily engages with her people. Treats are a big motivator for her and go a long way in helping her feel comfortable and confident so stock up! Nira would thrive in a home with a yard, another dog in the home, and adopters who are patient, consistent, and respectful of her need for space early on. She is not a candidate for apartment or city living and would be happiest as a homebody dog rather than one expected to tag along to outings or social events. Kids and family life are welcome! She lives with kids age 11 & 13 and adores them. She will also needs a cat-free home, as she will chase cats. She lives with cats in her foster home but has more recently been separated from them for her love of chase. It is all fun-loving on her end but the cats agree- the feeling is not mutual. For the right home, she is ready to be an incredibly devoted companion. Nira is ready with deep, loyal, and lasting love. Ready to welcome Nira home?
