Story
Foster Update! "So far they are settling in nicely. We have learned A LOT in a short amount of time! Nova was definitely the alpha of the 2 of them, and she has tried to retain that status with our dog, but when corrected she does well. She really wants to establish dominance with him, but I don't let her snarl at him and she doesn't get mad about it, she just gives me the pouty look and lays down. Nova is definitely a toy lover and will do anything to get to a squeaker. She is a bit territorial over toys, but it steadily gets better as the time goes on. They are both potty trained, though they won't necessarily let you know they have to potty, we've just had to follow Harley's cues (she starts sniffing around a lot). They both have a good prey drive. They slept downstairs together last night (they are not a huge fan of stairs, Nova managed but Harley struggled a lot, so they ended up just coming back downstairs) and did fine. We set up our camera so we could check on them periodically and they slept the entire night in the same spot. Nova slept on the couch and Harley slept in the bed we got her. Harley can get a bit snippy with Nova over food. There was a little scuffle yesterday between her and Nova but they calmed down quickly and we just opted to feed them separately. They are both VERY food motivated. Outside of Nova making sure our dog knows who's boss, which isn't a huge deal, they are both doing very well with having another dog in their pack. Harley kinda just minds her own and chills unless she thinks we might be getting food and Nova does about the same unless she is playing with toys. Harley pees a lot more when she is stressed out. She had multiple accidents last night after getting home, but she seems to be doing much better today." HARLEY & NOVA - 10 & 11 years old respectively, 80-90 pounds, kid/cat/dog social, house trained, playful Harley & Nova were surrendered when their owner passed away and family members could not take them. They have been together for 7 years now and are now searching for a family willing to take them both into retirement. They are both good with kids, cats and dogs although Nova has some resource guarding tendencies with food towards small dogs. We always recommend keeping food and toys separate between animals. Harley and Nova are typical vocal huskies especially when left alone. Don't leave the doors open either or these two amusing adventurers might take that as a sign to venture out. Harley is known to be the calm, relaxed, easy going girl, while her sister Nova is a more hyper, energetic, playful girl. We introduced them to our shelter playgroup dogs and they had a blast once they had met everyone. We saw that playful side of Nova where she chased, play bowed, and did gentle wrestling with another dog. Harley hung out more or less, walking around sniffing, lying down, sitting, giving me great smiles to capture in photos. They both are known to steal objects from countertops, too. Silly girls! If you are ready for two big girls, come on in to meet them! They are in a back kennel waiting for meet and greets so just ask to meet them!
