Meet Ike – A Fluffy, Loyal Husky and Couch Potato King Who Comes as a Package Deal!  If you’re looking for loyalty, love, and a whole lot of Husky charm, then meet Ike - a stunning, 3-year-old, 85 lb Siberian Husky with a heart as big as his fluffy coat. Ike is dog-friendly, but his world revolves around Tina, his bonded best friend and lifelong partner. These two have been through it all together, and Ike takes his role as her protector very seriously. If he feels like Tina is being picked on, he’ll step in to defend his girl. Ike and Tina’s journey hasn’t been easy. They were found roaming the outskirts of California, then taken in and given a loving home—until tragedy struck. Their owner passed away, and instead of staying with family, they were dropped off at the shelter. But even through the heartbreak, Ike and Tina have had each other. And now, they’re searching for a forever home where they can stay together—because separating them isn’t an option. Ike’s Highlights 3 years old, 85 lbs Neutered, up to date on all shots Dog-friendly (but bonded to Tina) Not cat tested Loves meeting new people & making friends Enjoys long walks, the couch, and Husky-style “conversations” Kids okay! Ike is funny, affectionate, and full of personality. He and Tina are a bucket full of Husky shenanigans—times two! They love long walks, playtime, snacks, and cuddling on the couch. Ike and his boned mate, Tina, are looking for the right home. If you’re ready for double the fluff, double the love, and double the adventure, Ike & Tina are waiting for you!

Found roaming the outskirts of California, they were rescued and given a home - until their owner passed away. Instead of staying with family, they were taken to the shelter. But through it all, they’ve had each other. Now, they’re looking for a forever home together—because separating them would break their hearts. Tina’s Highlights 3-4 years old, 60 lbs Spayed, up to date on all shots Dog-friendly (but completely bonded to Ike) Not cat tested Loves meeting people & making friends Enjoys long walks, exploring, and Husky-style “chatter” Would do well in an active home (kids okay!)

Story
Keira is a one year old, Husky/Labrador Retriever mix. She is looking for a fun, active home! She is always up to play with her pals, chew her toys, or go for a hike! Keira gets along with all dogs would love to wrestle with a new doggy brother or sister in her next home. Keira is friendly with all people, but she isn't one of those dogs eager to please and do tricks. She is smart, stubborn, and likes to do what she wants which means she may ignore you if she is busy playing. However, she will give you her attention if you have treats, a game, or would like to take her on an adventure! Keira is approx 45lbs. She is a good girl on leash and in the car. She is also housebroken and crate trained. She does have a prey drive and likes to chase lizards or any small creature she can find so we think a home without cats is best. If you're interested in meeting Keira, submit an adoption application on our website at www.dominoeffectanimalrescue.orgJune 23, 2025, 8:24 pm
