ALASKA (and Balto)
Available for Foster/Adoption
Name: Alaska
Breed: Siberian Husky mix
Sex: Male
Age: 3 years
Cats: No
Dogs: Selective
Kids: Yes, older
Hey, I’m Alaska and I am looking for a new home, along with my brother Balto, through no fault of our own. We were born on November 30 2017 and we are bonded litter-mate brothers. We are very similar, and will ideally be adopted together, so please read both of our bios!
I am a big suck and I weigh 33kg. I think I might have some malamute in me given how much bigger I am than the typical husky, but I am a tall and lean build with a lot of leg length underneath me. I am not crazy energetic, but I do need space to run every day. I also love going on long walks, though I do need a bit of leash work since I like to pull on the leash. I do like to jump up on you to greet you, and will jump and mouth in play while playing in the yard as well. For this reason, I am best with other children or no children.
I am said to be house trained, but I do mark indoors on occassion. In my boarding kennel, I mark very frequently. I am crate trained, and must be fed in my crate as I fear I will lose my dinner to my brother as well as other dogs. As soon as I am done eating, I would prefer to be out of the crate though, and will voice my opinion until you oblige. I love my blanket and will burrow in it. I have a few favorite toys as well! I love to roll around outside and play with you in any season, but snow is pretty great! I LOVE to play/swim in water - so get your bathing suit and let’s head to the beach!
I am a fussy eater and much prefer a raw diet as opposed to the many different kibbles tried over the last 4 months while in boarding that I have either snubbed completely or picked at. I also have a bit of a sensitive tummy and will get diarrhea with a lot of kibbles. I have previously lived with a cat, but it is recommended that I not live with one given it has been several months and I liked to chase the cat in my home. I am selective with other dogs, and a meet and greet will be required if our new home has an existing dog. I travel very well in vehicles.
I am neutered, microchipped and up to date on all of my vaccinations. I am ready to go home with you and my brother!

ALUE
Available for Adoption
Name: Alue
Breed: Siberian Husky mix
Sex: Female
Age: 9 years
Cats: Yes
Dogs: Selective
Kids: Yes
Hi my name is Alue and I was born on January 31 2012, so today is my 9th birthday! I am seeking a low energy home as I cannot exercise very much due to my health. I would likely suit a retired home very well, or low-energy humans. I am not a match for a very active family.
I have an immune disorder due to which I have impaired growth of nails. My nails bleed and break off. This does not stop me from my daily activities like short walks, sleeping and pawing. However, because of this condition, I do not like my paws to be touched and I also need to be muzzled for my vet visits, according to my previous owner. I have never shown any kind of aggression in my foster’s home. In fact, I am the sweetest and most obedient girl according to my fosters. I have been around cats in the past, but would need to be reintroduced. I am selective with dogs, so a meet and greet would be required to ensure we get along well before I go home with you.
I know commands like sit, stay, and paw. I am a big attention seeker and therefore I will whine sometimes and paw you if I do not get attention. I love belly rubbings and if you are good at it, I will lick you as hard as I can. I will also wish you good morning when I see you first thing in the morning. I get excited on smelling human food, but I do not get aggressive and follow all commands. I will sit silently besides you and keep pawing you to try my luck. Because of my good behavior, my fosters give me a treat when they are done eating. I am a big foodie and will finish all my food at once which is why I get gassy. Therefore, you need to make sure that I eat slowly. I am house trained, but am not crate trained.
I also unknowingly tend to slip under the sofa or bed if I am sleeping near them. I start whining when I realize I can’t get out. So, you need to understand this and keep on checking on me from time to time. I don’t like too much of physical activities like playing, running or hiking. I can go for frequent short walks but when I come back, you need to give me treats. Also, I am feeling a bit shy in informing you that if I find a comfortable place to sleep, I will snore, and it can get very loud sometimes.
I am not up to date on my vaccinations due to my immune condition. I am not spayed, and will be adopted on a strict non-breeding and no vaccine agreement due to my age and health. My adopter will be provided with an already registered microchip to have inserted by a veterinarian upon my adoption.

I am a big suck and I weigh 32.5kg. I think I might have some malamute in me given how much bigger I am than the typical husky, but I am a tall and lean build with a lot of leg length underneath me. I am not crazy energetic, but I do need space to run every day. I also love going on long walks, though I do need a bit of leash work since I like to jump around to greet others. I do like to jump up on you to greet you, and will jump and mouth in play while playing in the yard as well. For this reason, as well as my one-time minor bite history over someone being in my face, I am best with other children or no children.
I am said to be house trained, but I do mark indoors on occassion. In my boarding kennel, I mark very frequently. I am crate trained, and must be fed in my crate as I do like to guard my food and toys from my brother as well as other dogs. As soon as I am done eating, I would prefer to be out of the crate though, and will voice my opinion until you oblige. I love my toys, especially balls, and will hide them in places in the home. I could probably be called a hoarder. I love to roll around outside and play with you in any season, but snow is pretty great!
I am a fussy eater and much prefer a raw diet as opposed to the many different kibbles tried over the last 4 months while in boarding that I have either snubbed completely or picked at.

HENDRIX
Available for Foster/Adoption
Name: Hendrix
Breed: Labrador Retriever x Husky
Sex: Male
Age: 2.5 years
Cats: No
Dogs: Yes
Kids: No
Hey, I’m Hendrix and I am searching for an experienced forever home of my own. My forever home needs to have experience with resource guarding and no children due to my bite histories surrounding resource guarding.
I am your typical busy body, happy go lucky labrador in almost every aspect! I love affection, I can play for hours, and I am great with other dogs. I love to go for walks and adventures, in the car or being walked. I am relatively quiet, and settle in my crate quickly once you leave me, so I am ok for attached housing. In fact, I currently live in an apartment. I would love a fenced yard ideally, but all suitable applications will be considered!
My forever home must have a crate for me, and use it daily. I must be fed in my crate as I am a severe resource guarder. I need absolute solitude while I am eating my dinner. Do not disturb! This is very manageable by using a crate. However, the bulk of my resource guarding surrounds things that I find. If I find it, and I want it, I will bite you when you try to get it back. I have had this behaviour since I was purchased at 7 weeks old, and it has only gotten worse over time. If I even think you are going to take my cherished finding, I will protect and bite. A leash must be left on me at all times while indoors so that it can be used as a hitch to remove me easier and more safely from guarding situations. I don’t chew my leash, so this shouldn’t be an issue.
I like to play with my toys, and can do so with my humans safely with further drop it training. Don’t reach for a toy that is near me, but if you grab a toy that is far away and show it to me, I will happily play with you - especially if it is a tennis ball. I did mention that I am mostly labrador, right? I know my basic obedience commands, and have been taught to sit before being fed. I do need to work on my leash manners as I pull on the leash. I am so happy all the time, that my tail will clear off a table. However, when I am in a guarding or grumpy state, it will be evident if you can read dog body language.
I am neutered, microchipped and up to date on all of my vaccinations. I am ready to go home with you immediately!

KIRA
ON TRIAL UNTIL FEBRUARY 27
Name: Kira
Breed: Siberian Husky mix
Sex: Female
Age: 2 years
Cats: No
Dogs: Yes - see description
Kids: No
Hey my name is Kira, and I’m searching for an experienced hands-off home that wants a fun-loving, highly treat motivated girl! I am looking for a fun and active home where I am not physically handled much! If this is you or could be you, I’d love to follow your treats! Treats are amazing and I’ll do anything for them!
I’m a girl that needs a fenced yard, with a fence minimally 5ft high. I am not a fan of being leashed up due to not liking having my collar/neck handled or touched. I am crated trained and house trained. I am very loyal and obedient to my human once we establish a connection.
I am very prey-driven. Please no cats for me. I am sometimes good with other dogs, however it is better if they do not live with me and we only have supervised playdates. You see, I am food and toy possessive with other dogs and people. I am selective with other dogs, and will appear friendly at first, but over time of seeing the same dogs day after day, I get worse and worse in my interactions with them.
I cannot live with or be around children due to the food and toy aggression as well as my displeasure towards collar handling. I need to be muzzled for vet visits or even anything done at home like wound inspections, nail trims, grooming, etc. If you respect my wishes and pet me when I ask and don’t push my limits, then we can get along just fine! I do have a multiple bite history; all surrounding collar grabbing/handling.
I know how to sit before my dinner is served, but I will put on a dance routine before I sit briefly! I love to spin in excitement for my food and will lead you right to my bowl with my dance moves! It takes me a few days to warm up to new people and trust you, so please be gentle my first few days with you.
I am believed to be spayed, but it is not confirmed. I will be microchipped prior to adoption. I am ready to go home with you!

Hey my name is Lexie, and I’m searching for an experienced hands-off home that wants a fun-loving, highly treat motivated girl! I am looking for a fun and active home where I am not physically handed much! If this is you or could be you, I’d love to follow your treats! Treats are amazing and I’ll do anything for them!
I’m a girl that needs a fenced yard, with a fence minimally 5ft high. I am not a fan of being leashed up due to not liking having my collar/neck handled or touched. I am crated trained, but only for a wire crate, however I will try to escape the crate so you’ll need several clips for the door to keep me contained. Once the weak points are secured, I make no attempt at escape. I am very much a counter-surfer, and will need to be crated in your absence. I am house trained and I am very loyal and obedient to my human once we establish a connection.
I am very prey-driven, and my trial with cats was not good. Please no cats for me. I am good with other dogs, however it is better if they do not live with me and we only have supervised playdates. You see, I am food and toy possessive with other dogs and people. I LOVE to play with other dogs, but I am a heavy player and do not know when to stop, even with other dogs telling me when to stop. This can lead to fights. I love to play with my humans too!
I cannot live with or be around children due to the food and toy aggression as well as my displeasure towards collar handling. I am not a fan of being hugged, picked up, held for vetting, or being crowded in. I need to be muzzled for vet visits or even anything done at home like wound inspections, nail trims, grooming, etc. If you respect my wishes and pet me when I ask and don’t push my limits, then we can get along just fine! I do have a bite history - once due to collar restraint, and the other is unknown as it was before I entered the shelter.
I am spayed and microchipped, and ready to go home with you!

OBIE
Available for Adoption/Foster
Name: Obie
Breed: Husky mix
Sex: Male
Age: 2 years
Cats: No
Dogs: Yes
Kids: Yes, older
Hi, I'm Obie and I was born on August 31 2018. I am here seeking a new home that is stable, experienced, able to train, and has a fenced yard for me to run in. Due to COVID restrictions, will need to stay in the USA as well. My current family is willing to drive me within reasonable distance of my current location as well. I was born in a small village in the Alaskan tundra, and I am a husky cross who’s mother and litter-mates were killed when I was just a week or two old.
I was rescued by a visiting animal welfare team, and fostered and bottle-fed from that time. I am missing an eye and have been since I was originally rescued. I grew up for a year in an apartment in Anchorage, AK, and have been fostered for the last year in a family home in Massachusetts with a very small yard. I run in the yard and do not dig under, nor jump the 5’ fence. I am a big boy weighing nearly 100 lbs and I have boundless energy. It is this energy and lack of doggie mom that are the root causes of my needing to be rehomed.
You see, doggie-mom’s teach puppies all about socialization, manners, etc. As a result of not having one, I have not learned how to appropriately interact with strangers and have bitten twice. Strangers need to be kept from trying to pet me while I am walking on leash or in my crate. With my family, I am super affectionate, playful, and goofy. I love my family/people, just not strangers. I anjoy ear and belly rubs from my family and want to sleep alongside my people. I am leash trained, house trained, and know my basic obedience commands.
I think I would do best in a rural environment without young children around and not a lot of stranger interaction. I do also have resource guarding sometime, which is why I am best without small children. I am good with other dogs, but not good with cats, so let’s not go there please. I have a lot of potential to show you, if you just give me the chance to go home with you and finally have a forever home after 2 years!
I am neutered, up to date on all of my vaccinations, and microchipped. I am ready to go home with you!

PAPI
Available for Foster/Adoption
Name: Papi
Breed: Siberian Husky x Alaskan Malamute
Sex: Male
Age: 5.5 years
Cats: No
Dogs: Maybe
Kids: No
Hey, I’m Papi and I am about 5.5 years old. My foster mom has nicknamed me Happy Papi and also Fluffy. I am such a silly, goofy hairball that I know I will be popular, but I am not for just anyone, so please read carefully. I am seeking an adult-only home that is willing to give me training.
I am here at the rescue after my previous owner left me in a kennel in the yard for 3 years. My only human interaction has been through fencing, until recently. As a result, I am not well-socialized and I have next to no training. I do also have a bite history. I have been mouthing my foster family when uncomfortable handling is performed, but haven’t broken the skin since my arrival here.
I am so happy to be experiencing freedom that I bounce for joy. You could call me a jumping bean. I have no general obedience skills and I like to be a bit grabby with my mouth when being leashed up, as well as just in general. I am not a fan of hugs or taking selfies with you; and am really not a fan of having my feet handled. I will need to form a relationship with a groomer (when they are allowed to open) as well since I have a long coat and will need regular grooming in order to maintain my gorgeous fluffy coat.
My previous veterinarian had noted on my file that I am a bad patient and need to be muzzled due to lunging at the doctor, so please be mindful of this even though I haven’t exhibited any lunging while here in rescue care. I am a big boy at around 75-80 pounds, so an owner strong enough to handle me is necessary. I am strong on leash since I have very rarely ever been on one.
I have not been formally introduced to dogs yet since I am fairly new here in rescue, but I am not reactive to the dogs as they walk past my kennel, or when I walk past their kennel. A meet and greet will be required with any potential new siblings. My notes say that I liked watching dogs walk past me on the street, so I am likely ok with most dogs. I have not been around cats, so please let’s not go there.
I am neutered, up to date on all of my vaccinations, flea treated, and microchipped. I am ready to go home with you!

SPENCER
Available for Foster/Adoption
Name: Spencer
Breed: Siberian Husky mix
Sex: Male
Age: 2.5 years
Cats: No
Dogs: Selective
Kids: No
Hi there, I’m Spencer and I am about 2.5 years old. I am seeking an experienced forever home with a fence at least 6ft high, so please read carefully. I need exercise, structure, rules and training, so please be prepared to give me what I need! My forever home must have experience with resource guarding and no men that live in or frequent the home.
I have the most expressive ears! My ears are always moving up and down and begging for you to give me any attention at all! Even just talking to me makes me a happy little boy. I will also lean in for cuddles and snuggles once I know you. I warm up to new people quickly, but can be stand-offish and/or growl initially if meeting through a fence. I do not, however, like men.
I found myself in the shelter due to guarding strange people from entering my previous home, but only from the front door. In the shelter, I showed no guarding issues of this sort and was even fine with meeting dogs through my kennel. However, here in boarding, I have growled at one human stranger who offered me a hand to sniff while I was in my kennel, and I am not a fan at all of other dogs approaching my kennel. When I am outside of my kennel, I am a lot less reactive. A meet and greet will be required if I am to live with other dogs. I have not been with cats, but due to my guarding and highly excitable nature, please let’s not go there. I cannot be with children.
I do have a bite history over a tissue that I wanted being held too long for my liking, and multiple times have mouthed and nipped/snapped, breaking the skin. I did spend 2 months in an apartment and can do it again if I get adequate exercise!
I do need a quiet home without a lot of humans visiting as I was unfortunately returned just before Christmas due to my guarding behaviours escalating and my dislike for other family members while visiting. I give lots of warning if you know how to read me, but not everyone can. As a result, I have bitten multiple people now. I have been returned twice now for biting :( Please be patient and understanding so that I am not returned again! I excite very easily, which is why I have little inhibition to not use my mouth. If I have a bone in my mouth, I will growl and turn away so you cannot take it from me. I love my dinner so much that I bounce up and down until I am served, and will guard it while I am eating. I will sit for a moment before my dinner bowl heads towards the floor, and am working on sitting longer before being fed. I am not good on a tether as I tangle myself a lot, and will bite when you are trying to help me in my panic.
I am trainable, workable, and manageable for someone with the experience, time, and energy level needed to shape me into the great little boy I know I can be! Essentially, I act like a 4 month old puppy, but am 2.5 years old. Think of me as a big puppy, and train me as such, and we can get along just fine! I cannot eat chicken as it gives me an upset tummy and loose stools.
I am neutered, up to date on all of my vaccinations, flea treated, and microchipped. I am ready to go home with you!

SPOTTY
Availabe for Foster/Adoption
Name: Spotty
Breed: Siberian Husky
Sex: Male
Age: 10 years
Cats: No
Dogs: Yes
Kids: No
Hi, I'm Spotty and I was born on December 31 2010. I am here seeking a new home through no fault of my own. My owner passed away and the nice people here at the boarding kennel welcomed myself and my 3 siblings into their care. It is time to find a forever home of my own though! I can be a loud barker, so detached housing is preferred, but all applications will be considered and assessed.
I am friendly and happy and love meeting people! I am however sensitive around having my neck handled. This poses and issue when it comes to grabbing my collar and leashing me, but I am getting a lot better. I will probably be a lot better still about it now that my matted wooly coat has been shaved off! My future home must maintain my coat properly; so be prepared for grooming expenses every 2 months. I would prefer a home without children however, just to be safe. I love food just a bit too much for young children to be giving me treats as I am a treat snatcher. I enjoy going on my walks and have been good with every dog I have met so far. I have not been around cats, so lets not go there.
I have lived outdoors in a kennel my entire life, so house training will need to be done. I am tidy in my kennel run, but I mark outside of it. My adopter must be willing to put in the time to house train me. The use of a belly band is recommended; at least in the beginning stages of house training. I am crate trained, however after spending almost a week in my crate after my owner passed away, I may need to be re-introduced into loving my crate. Please be patient with me as I have been through a lot recently. With that said however, I enjoy praise and attention the most out of my siblings, so should train quickly. I crave individual attention and lean right in for scratches during my one-on-one time.
I have been groomed and am all set to go home with you. I do need a doggy jacket however as my coat will take several months to grow back and I will be cold over the winter.
I am up to date on my vaccinations. I will be adopted on a strict non-breeding agreement due to my age. I can be neutered prior to adoption if desired. My adopter will be provided with an already registered microchip to have inserted by their veterinarian upon my adoption if I am not yet microchipped.

THOR
Available for Foster/Adoption
Name: Thor
Breed: Siberian Husky x German Shepherd
Sex: Male
Age: 5 years
Cats: No
Dogs: Very Selective
Kids: No
Hey, I’m Thor and I am searching for an experienced forever home of my own. My forever home need to have experience with resource guarding and no children due to my bite history surrounding resource guarding.
I am playful and affectionate with my immediate family, so please give me a chance to warm up to your family. I know my basic commands and some tricks like sit, paw, shake, roll over, and stay. I am not familiar with leash skills and will need work in this area. In typical husky fashion, I will play fetch 3 times and then you can go get the ball!
I am used to spending all day outside in my large fenced yard and sleeping inside at night. I am not crate trained, and I spend the day outside while my people are at work. I am searching for a home with space for me and not attached housing. I can also be possessive of my property, so a quite home without a lot of company coming around would be ideal! I am good with the kids in my home, but with my resource guarding, I cannot remain in the home. I am not good with cats and have only been good with older female dogs that frequent my current home. I will need socialization with other dogs, or a dog-free home. Please no cats.
I am not crate trained, but I am house trained and non-destructive as long as I am not left indoors home alone for long periods of time. If I am left indoors with a bone or stuffed kong, I am ok for slightly longer durations. But, with my resource guarding, you will need to be careful upon returning home.
I am neutered, microchipped and up to date on all of my vaccinations. I am ready to go home with you immediately!
