Story
www.huskyrescueteam.org    If you have additional questions please email info@huskyrescueteam.org Lyra is a 4 1/2 year old Alaskan Malamute who found herself in a Maryland shelter FIVE times in 4 years. Each time she was picked up as a stray and brought to the shelter, she had the same owner. She was reclaimed four times. But this time she was not reclaimed and made rescue only due to multiple impoundments. We wanted stability for Lyra so we brought her into our program. We have since learned her former owner allowed her to free roam. Lyra has been picked up by neighbors on several busy streets and even seen on the interstate! We're told she has lived with children, dogs of all sizes, and cats. She likes the male dog in her foster home but not the female Husky. She'd also be fine, and maybe even prefer, to be an only dog.   Initially she was a bit leery meeting new people but she soon realized she's among Northern Breed folks who understand her Mally ways. We've earned her trust and have taught her appropriate boundaries - none of which she's had before.   Malamutes are different than Huskies. A Husky wants to be everyone's best friend. Mals are loyal to their people and you have to earn that loyalty. Lyra will need a patient owner who understands how to build mutual respect. She is a big girl who loves even bigger. She goes belly up for pets and loves to use her paws to express when she wants you to love her. She gives sweet kisses and is a fairly mellow girl. She is strong on a leash and has a deep voice. She's completely house trained and not destructive in the home. She's not a fan of having her paws handled but now allows for brushing by a trusted volunteer.   Lyra is not likely to enjoy a busy home with young children. Her speed is more the middle-aged/senior living, even though she's still a young dog. But she will need someone who can manage her on a leash. She's a bit strong starting out but quickly falls in stride. Lyra is also good in the car and willingly jumps in, ready to go. She's spayed, microchipped, current on vaccines and healthy. Lyra is located in MD.   Transport within the Eastern US is available for the right home.     ~~Husky Education And Rescue Team is a foster based rescue. Our dogs are in our foster homes all up and down the east coast. We do not have a facility in which you can visit. We find this a huge benefit because we learn our dogs and are able to educate our adopters on what it’s like to have them live in your home. Part of our process, once pre-approved, is to speak with the foster for the dog you’re interested in. If you’re still interested in adopting from our rescue the first step is to complete our adoption application online at www.huskyrescueteam.org/apply     If you have additional questions please email  info@huskyrescueteam.orgApril 24, 2025, 3:22 pm
