Samoyed puppies and dogs in Portland, Oregon

Miko Snuggle Sized won the Snacky Smackies Award almost immediately, and we wish you could hear him eating a treat, it is full-blown snacky smackie goodness! The best part is he has absolutely no concern for how adorable he’s being. This big, gorgeous boy loves his snacks, gives wonderful kisses, and is will happily be your little spoon. At 78 pounds, “little” is open to interpretation, but Miko is proud to make it work. Go watch Miko on YouTube to see this handsome fluff enjoying himself—and please have the sound on for snackie- smack footage. You deserve the full experience! Copy and paste his YouTube link into your browser: https://youtu.be/WtNjjF6Iayg Miko is estimated to be seven years old, and we believe he’s a Husky/Malamute mix, though his age and breed are our best guesses. He’s bigger than your average Husky, with plenty of soft fur to sink your hands into and a lovely, confident way about him. He is wonderful in the car. Open the door and he jumps right in, settles beautifully, and enjoys the ride. A little breeze through his fur is especially appreciated. On our outings, he was quiet and well behaved, happily taking it all in without trying to climb around. He has great sea legs, too—comfortable keeping his balance as you make your way down the road. This boy has a permanent seat in our jeep if a drive is in order and he is available. Miko is good with other dogs and meets them confidently. He has a playful side and will bounce around with a friend, but he’s also perfectly happy to go lie down when he’s had his fun. Another dog could be lovely company, though we don’t think he needs a canine roommate to be happy. Time with his people seems to suit him just fine. And the snuggling? So good! Miko loves to get close, settle in, and give you kisses. Depending on how much room you take up, he makes a wonderful little spoon, but either way, you’ll have a very substantial cuddle buddy. He’s friendly meeting new people, too, so you won’t have to spend long admiring him from a distance before getting personally acquainted. From what we’ve seen, Miko is both house and crate trained. He has also been a quiet companion in the home, without much of the vocal commentary Huskies are known for. At seven, he still has plenty of bounce when he wants it, along with an appreciation for lying down and getting comfortable. No one yet has met him without rather quickly saying “What a good dog.” And we agree! Easy company, affectionate, happy to make friends, and a pleasure to take along. Someone is going to get to ride home with this beautiful boy, settle in for a snuggle, and hear those ridiculous little snack sounds every day. That sounds pretty dreamy by our standards.

Badger was supposed to quietly die at the shelter. He was listed as an 8-year-old husky mix and when he first arrived here, I honestly thought he was even older and possibly a hospice case. He was stiff, skinny, frozen in fear, and barely moved. But once I put him with younger dogs, something changed. Little by little, Badger started acting young again. He started following the other dogs around, exploring the property, splashing in the pond, and rediscovering happiness. Now he feels like an entirely different dog. I do not know his exact age, but I genuinely believe he is younger than the shelter estimated and he clearly still has a lot of life left in him. Badger now weighs around 60 lbs and is an awesome dog to live with. He walks well on leash, is extremely food motivated, and loves being part of daily life. He is also incredibly good with other dogs and especially gentle with puppies. He lets them climb all over him and will even let them steal his food without reacting. He did eventually figure out how to climb out of the 6-foot chain link kennel, because husky. But unlike a typical husky, he has absolutely no desire to run off or disappear. He mostly stays near the kennel area, follows me on walks, or goes down to the pond for a quick dip before coming back. I honestly don’t even put him up when I leave because he simply doesn’t go anywhere. Badger does great with other dogs overall, though because of his size and goofy personality, he would probably do best with dogs that are confident and not easily intimidated. He is fine with my tiny Chihuahuas because they are bossy and fearless, but very nervous little dogs may get overwhelmed by him simply because he does not fully understand how big he is. Good fit: someone looking for a loyal, goofy, easygoing companion who still has plenty of life and adventure left in him without the nonstop chaos of a young husky.
