AURORA

AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION/FOSTER

Name: Aurora
Breed: Siberian Husky Mix
Sex: Female
Age: 2-3 Years
Dogs: Yes - MANDATORY
Cats: Possibly
Kids: Yes, older - see description

Hello Everyone! I am the shy sweetheart known as Aurora. I am here seeking a foster or forever home of my own that has the time and patience to work with me and socialize me to turn me into the very best girl that I know I can be! I require a home with a fenced yard that will also use a tether on me for several months while I am outside to keep me safe.

I am just starting to show my personality right now, and I must say; they call me sweetie an awful lot! I am just starting to walk on a leash without being an instant pancake on the ground. I am even just starting to ask to go outside or come inside willingly. As a former northern reservation dog, this is a huge step! I actually greet foster mom when she gets home from work with a low, but big, tail wag and sometimes even some sass for the audacity to leave me home alone with a scary man. I don’t have a good history with men treating me nicely, so I am slower warming up to men, but I am being shown that they aren’t all scary and am slowly warming up to different men as well!

I cannot be crated or confinement in any way in the beginning. I will either completely freakout to the point that I defecate in the crate, or I will eat my way out through anything - metal, plastic, wood, in record time. So far, I am ok left loose in the house. Now that I have been here for a few months, I am actually seen resting in an open crate at times. I have even spent a brief period of time with the door closed! I think, in time, I will crate just fine. I am house-trained. I do not challenge the kitchen gate even though I am a massive counter-surfer and will steal food on shelves or tables outside of the kitchen when left alone. I respect closed doors and gates to keep rooms off-limits though! Left alone with access to food though, it’s gone in about 5 seconds!

I absolutely adore other dogs, and seeing them interact with the humans and themselves is really helping me come out of my shell and learn things quickly! I will need an existing dog in my home. I am good with all, but will tell rather obnoxious and pushy dogs off with a growl. As a reservation dog living in the wild, I have excellent dog-dog skills! I have seen the cat while outside, and was not even interested. However, now that I am coming out of my shell and getting more curious now, I may not be as good with cats. Cats would need to be with caution.

I have not met any children, however, I would not hurt anyone, or even a fly! No matter how scared I get, I have not exhibited any desire to bite. I am a massive escape risk, and am still working on warming up to humans though, so older, quieter children, or, ideally, and adult-only home would be most ideal. I already ate my out of a kennel building here at the rescue, so nothing can be put past me in terms of wanting to escape in the beginning. An open door would be an easy escape for me, but I am learning about the back door and not bolting out it.

I am microchipped. I will be adopted on a strict non-breeding and spay agreement to be done at the appropriate time after my puppies are weaned. I am booked at the rescue vet for my spay and rabies vaccination in Hamilton on March 21. I can go home in early March though once my puppies are fully weaned.

• Located in Tweed, ON – $500 adoption fee - $250 rebate at proof of spay if not done at rescue vet
• In boarding - needs foster or adopter
• Looking for a home since November 2024.

BAILEY

AVAILABLE FOR FOSTER/ADOPTION

Name: Bailey
Breed: Siberian Husky Mix
Sex: Female
Age: 4.5 Years
Dogs: Yes - selective
Cats: No
Kids: Yes, older

Hello Everyone! My name is Bailey, and I am back through no fault of my own. I was originally adopted in 2022, and am now roughly 4.5 years old. Iam here seeking a moderately active forever home. I have even lived in an apartment, so I can live in any type of home as well! I do get a bit vocal and join into serenades, but it isn’t over the top. As long as other tenants don’t mind a bit of noise on a rare occasion, then attached housing is fine!

I am a very friendly girl that absolutely loves to get attention and give kisses! I do like to jump up and “punch” with my front paws, so a home with older children that are more stable on their feet is best. I was living with a cat in my previous adoptive home, however, I am favoring chasing the cats in my current foster home. It does appear that I want to harm them, so I would be best as only princess in the home!

Despite living in an apartment, it appears I am not house trained. It shouldn’t take much to train me, though, once I am settled in and comfortable with yard access or lots of walks. I am not crate trained, but am not destructive left alone in the house. I have little to no escape desire through or over a fence, either, which is a big bonus. I would take the opportunity though an open door, though.

I would do very well as a single pet due to my dominance and resource guarding. If I am adopted with Mika, then you would be able to have 2 pets in the home as opposed to me as a single princess. It took our adopter a lot of work to get us to live together. We would be totally fine going to separate homes as well! I can also get jealous when I have to share attention and affection, so that causes altercations with other dogs as well. I very much want all of the available attention in ant form, but particularly with head, butt, and belly scratches!

My resource guarding is mainly with other dogs, and I do not have any bite history with humans. I do get into altercations with other dogs even when food is not involved, but food is definitely the main issue. As I did learn to live with Mika, with the right companion and the right human, I might be able to co-habit with another dog. I do like to peruse the edible things on the counter, but will respond when told not to take my findings. I am a bit taller, so I can’t help it.

I am spayed and microchipped. I am ready to go home with you!

• Located in Tweed, ON – $500 adoption fee - $250 if adopted with Mika (for both dogs)
• In boarding - needs foster or adopter
• Looking for a home since November 2024.

CARA

AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION/FOSTER

Name: Cara
Breed: Siberian Husky mix
Sex: Female
Age: 2 Years
Dogs: No
Cats:No
Kids: Yes

Hi there, my name is Cara, which is short for Caramel. Partly due to my colouring, but also because I am so sweet! I am here seeking a new home where I am the only princess ideally.

I could be described as a velcro dog. I would love to go absolutely everywhere with my human. If this is not possible, then I need to be in my crate in your absence from home. I am a bit of an escape artist and have escaped both on a leash and a car on transport. I am fine in a 5’ fence so far. I am, however, incredibly sweet with humans of all sizes once I meet you! I can be be nervous and barky at first, but I warm up quickly and am friendly - I promise! I am very much a typical COVID dog that didn’t learn how to be around other dogs.

I do not know how to interact with other dogs and need someone experienced with integration if I am going to live with another dog. It is doable, but it won’t be a quick transisition. I have been in 2 foster homes with other dogs, and neither worked out unfortunately. Now, I am in boarding and getting used to other dogs near me, but not yet being given the chance to interact without the fencing between us. I have already made significant improvements in not reacting back, and I have only been here for 2 weeks.

I am house trained and walk really well on leash. I also seem to be food motivated, so training me new things should be easy! I am crate trained, and I am quiet once I am used to the environment and routine. The first couple of days can be barky, but I do settle! I also don’t eat for the first couple of days, which is pretty normal with change.

My favorite thing to do is lounge on the sofa! I would not describe myself as a super active dog, and would be fine in any activity level home. Perhaps a first-time dog owner or a retired couple with grandkids that I can hang out with would be awesome! I really am the ideal pet for any family, as long as I am the only pet!

I am a nearly perfect family dog for just about any home, so what are you waiting for? I have had to move 3 times in the last month. It’s time for some stability! I really want to have a couch and cuddles again! I am perfect, and I am perfect for you!

I am spayed, up to date on my rabies and dhpp vaccinations, microchipped and dewormed. I am ready to go home any time!

• Located in Tweed, ON – $500 adoption fee
• In boarding- needs foster or adopter
• Looking for a home since January 2025.

KISKA

AVAILABLE FOR FOSTER/ADOPTION

Name: Kiska
Breed: Husky x Malamute
Sex: Female
Age: 10 years old
Cats: No
Dogs: No
Kids: No

Well, hello! My name is Kiska, and I am a gorgeous Husky Malamute mix. I was born on March 11, 2015. I am here seeking an experienced, quiet home for my golden years. Please read thoroughly, and consider giving me a chance!

I am an absolute sweetheart and dote on my chosen person! Once I form a bond with you, I love you dearly and will come to you for reassurance when things get scary. I am, however, visually impaired, and as such, I do not greet humans well at first. I can be downright scary upon first greeting. But, if you respect my space, I will come around to you. Upon first greeting, it can just be a low growl, or it can be a full out teeth out lunge. I promise though, I am not mean by nature. I am just scared as I cannot see that well. Foster mom will help you and I get along, but you’ll need to be willing to travel to me several times to help us get used to each other in my environment.

I did live in a home with a toddler before my surrender 3 years ago, and unfortunately, I bit the child several times as children cannot respect or understand warning signs, and are too high energy for my preferences. I like a low-key environment, and love to be indoors. I would be great for a single person or quiet home-body couple! I am house and crate trained. I like to go on walks and do very well on a training collar, but I pull without it. I am muzzled for walks due to my visual impairment and insecurities, for everyone’s safety. I will return to your side on command when in a crowd, as I know where you are.

I am not a fan of other dogs or cats and need to be the only pampered princess in my home. I can interact with some other dogs on walks since I am muzzled, but I would not trust my interactions not muzzled as I previously lived with 2 other dogs for a couple of months and it didn’t go well. I do very well at adoption events though, because I go with foster mom. I have even been handed off at events for walks with strangers and done pretty well overall!

I am a huge foodie and dive into my dinner and like my treats. I do have resource guarding, so it is best to respect my space for the 30 seconds that I am eating, and whenever I have a high-value item. I can usually be redirected off of something, but it needs to be even more smelly and valuable than what I have.

If you are a patient, understanding, and experienced person that is willing to give me a chance through my initial hurdles and maintain a quiet, calm environment for my golden years, you will NOT regret adopting me - I promise! I am absolutely lovely and loving once I know and trust you! Foster mom cannot say it enough that I have been very misunderstood and overlooked for the last 3 years, and it makes her very sad that no one is willing to give me a chance! I am willing to give you a chance!

I am microchipped. I am not spayed, and will be adopted on a strict non-breeding contract given my age.

• Located in Tweed, ON – $125 adoption fee
• In boarding - needs foster or adopter
• Looking for a home since March 2022.

To inquire on adopting Kiska, please fill out an application on our website smartrescue.ca or email perunsiberians@hotmail.com. A home visit, phone interview, and application will be required. To sponsor Kiska, please submit our sponsorship form at: https://form.jotform.com/82658461523259

LADY

AVAILABLE FOR FOSTER/ADOPTION

Name: Lady
Breed: Siberian Husky mix
Sex: Female
Age: 7 years
Cats: No
Dogs: Yes
Kids: No

Hey everyone, I’m Lady and I’m an approximately 7 year old female looking for my forever home. I am seeking a very experienced, hands-off home that can take the time needed to train me to be the best girl I know I can be with time. My forever home must not have children as I have a bite history and many handling sensitivities that I will go over below.

Due to the situation I was in, I am a fearful girl and startle at every noise or motion. I do also bite in fear, particularly when I am approached, cornered or restrained. I am not a fan at all of having any petting performed, so my forever home must be very understanding and willing to work with me on this long-term, or at least manage me as safely as possible. I cannot stress enough that I will, and have, bitten and cannot be with children. I am not house trained, so will need more work in this area as well. I have not been crated, however I would likely love a plastic crate I can run into and hide away from people.

Due to having almost no human contact, introductions to new people will take time and patience. I am still very timid and skittish when greeting people and can still be that way with my foster mom. I will need someone patient and able to work with me to get me to come out of my shell. I do warm up to my fosters in time, but will need more socialization with strangers once settled in. I don’t exhibit any food aggression or resource guarding with humans or dogs, and I love other dogs! Please, no cats. Other dogs help to draw me closer to you, so I really would be best in a home with other dogs to help you work with me.

I was raised in a kennel environment and I need to be taught basic obedience manners and leash walking skills since I was not walked. I am still fearful of humans and tend to run when they want me to do things I don’t want to do, and I will back up on the leash when I want to protest moving forward. These things are all so foreign to me! It is absolutely imperative that I be kept on my leash both inside and outside the home for at least a month, maybe even longer until I am settled in and comfortable as I am a flight risk and a bite risk. I have chewed through a fence here in foster in my state of fear and panic, so I need somewhere very secure, experienced, and patient.

I am spayed and microchipped. I am ready to go home with you!

●Located in Warren, ON – $250 adoption fee

MIKA

AVAILABLE FOR FOSTER/ADOPTION

Name: Mika
Breed: Siberian Husky Mix
Sex: Female
Age: 5.5 Years
Dogs: Yes
Cats: Maybe - see description
Kids: No

Hello Everyone! My name is Mika, and I am back through no fault of my own. I was originally adopted in 2021, and am now roughly 5.5 years old. I am not overly energetic, so can fit into any activity level experienced home. I have even lived in an apartment, so I can live in any type of home as well!

I am a calm and passive girl, however, I do have an extensive bite history in the past. I went through several homes before I was surrendered to the shelter, and bit in each one of these homes. Most of my bites stem around restraint/rough handling; especially around my neck. I have grumbled at my foster mom over leashing/unleashing, but have not bitten her as of yet. While I have gotten a lot better about it, the risk is still there, so I need someone experienced please!

I get along great with other dogs and am very submissive with them. If someone tries to take my food, I will pretty much just walk away. This is not ideal as I need to gain a bit of weight, and my sister, Bailey, is very dominant and takes my dinner from me. I do enjoy being with her, just not at meal times. I would be totally fine being in a home without her!

I was living with a cat in my previous adoptive home, however, I am favoring chasing the cats in my current foster home. It doesn’t appear that I want to harm them, so I might be able to live with a cat as long as there is constant supervision or separation. Please, absolutely no children due to my extensive bite history.

Despite living in an apartment, it appears I am not house trained. It shouldn’t take much to train me, though, once I am settled in and comfortable with yard access or lots of walks. I am not crate trained, but am not destructive left alone in the house. I have no escape desire through or over a fence, either, which is a big bonus. I would take the opportunity though an open door, though.

I would do very well as a single pet so that my eating habits improve and help me get some weight on. A submissive dog without resource guarding would also be a good placement for me as well. If I am adopted with Bailey, then we need to be the only 2 pets in the home as Bailey is too dominant with other dogs to live amicably. It took our adopter a lot of work to get us to live together.

I am spayed and microchipped. I am ready to go home with you!

• Located in Tweed, ON – $500 adoption fee - $250 if adopted with Bailey (for both dogs)
• In boarding - needs foster or adopter
• Looking for a home since November 2024.

NOVA2

Available for Foster/Adoption

Name: Nova2
Breed: Siberian Husky Mix
Sex: Female
Age: 5 Years
Dogs: Yes
Cats: Yes
Kids: Yes, older

Hello Everyone! My name is Nova2 and I was born October 26th 2018. I am here seeking a forever home where someone is almost always home. I require detached housing, and ideally a fenced yard as well. You see, I am anxious and loud when I am alone due to my separation anxiety .

I would thrive in an active household, ideally with some older kids to help keep me company. I enjoy having someone around most of the time, as I can feel quite anxious when I am away from my people, especially during storms and fireworks. I am destructive and loud when alone and scared, so I need to be crated and living in detached housing.I am crate trained and house trained, and I also know a variety of commands. I will walk right into my crate when asked and gladly use it as my bed.

I am a very loving and affectionate dog, and my family is devastated that I must be rehomed ASAP due to living situation changes beyond my control. I am a sweet girl that gets along well with other dogs, and even cats! While I do get along with other dogs, I do show some leash reactivity and food aggression towards other dogs, so an off-leash meet and greet in a fenced yard is required, and my new owner must have experience and understanding in how to deal with a multi-dog household in regards to meal/treat/bone times. I do NOT have any guarding issues or bite history with humans.

I may not look like a typical husky, but I act like one! I am sassy and love to woo at my humans. I also adore getting my daily dose of belly rubs and love to go on adventures in the car and on leash! I can keep up to an active lifestyle just fine, but would also like a more relaxed home environment to help with my anxiety and coping.

I would do best with a large fenced yard to help me keep exercised at home where I don’t have the stimulus of other dogs to react negatively on leash to. I would also benefit from private training and group training classes with a certified dog trainer to help me learn to settle and also with my leash reactivity and food aggression. Training is not a mandatory part of my adoption, but it is strongly encouraged.

My family wants only the best home for me, so please be patient while your application is reviewed and processed. Please allow my family the chance to be thorough in ensuring your home is the best fit for me! I do need a home as quickly as possible however, though. Please submit your application if you think I would be a good candidate for you!

I am spayed, up to date on all of my vaccinations, and microchipped. I am ready to go home with you!
