AURORA

AVAILABLE FOR FOSTER/FOSTER-TO-ADOPT

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

Hello Everyone! I am the super shy sweetheart known as Aurora. I am here seeking a foster or forever homes 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 also need someone home at almost all times.

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. 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 ABSOLUTELY cannot be crated or confinement in any way. 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, as long as I know someone is home. I have not been tested with someone not home, but have been left loose inside while humans go outside and back inside frequently, and am ok with that. I won’t say that I am fully house trained, as I have had a rather large urinary accident in the house after I refused to do so outside for several days in sheer fear of this new, domesticated lifestyle. I also defecate in the crate almost every time I am in it. I would say I am mainly house trained though.

I absolutely adore other dogs, and seeing them interact with the humans and themselves is really helping me come out of my shell 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. An open door would be an easy escape for me.

I am currently expecting a litter in a couple of weeks, so I am just putting feelers out for my forever home at the moment, as I know it will take some time with there being so many homeless dogs. I can go home on a foster or foster-to-adopt scenario if you have whelping experience however.

I am microchipped. I am ready to go home with you after I am done with my pregnancy and litter!

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

BELLE

Available for Adoption/Foster

Name: Belle
Breed: Siberian Husky Mix
Sex: Female
Age: 2 Years
Dogs: Yes - MANDATORY
Cats: No
Kids: Yes

Hi there, my name is Belle because I am just so beautiful! I am here seeking a forever home where someone is almost always home as I do have quite a bit of separation anxiety. I also require a home that has at least one other dog in the home, and preferably a detached home without a fenced yard that will strictly use a sturdy tether when I am outside as I am quite an escape artist as well.

I could be described as a velcro dog. I would love to go absolutely everywhere with my human. If this is not possible, than doggy daycare is lilely a good idea as I am very destructive when left alone, and destroy crates as well. I can be crated at night, but only if it is in your bedroom. I don’t like to be alone, ever! Yay for being another COVID puppy not raised properly and taught that being alone is normal! I love humans of all sizes after a brief bit of apprehension upon initial greeting. Foster mom runs a daycare, and while I am still settling in and being kept from direction interaction with all the little humans, I would love to be with them!

I absolutely adore other dogs, and seeing them interact with the humans and themselves is really helping me come out of my shell quickly! I will need an existing dog in my home to hopefully help me learn to be a little less reliant on constant human companionship. I have not met any cats, so it is likely best to avoid them. I do know some basic commands like sit, but stay and come need some work. Even though I am very attentive to my human, I am a husky afterall! I chewed my cable tether on day 2 in my foster home and required several helping hands to get me secured again. I do pull on the leash as I quite like to sniff the ground as well. Perhaps we could do scent sports to help me work my mind?

I like to be outside, but prefer if you are out there with me as well! Bundle up - let’s go explore something new. If you wish for me to come over to go outside, I will be right there. Otherwise, it takes some coaxing with treats to get me to listen. Will you be my outdoor active adventure companion? Or even just my car ride chauffeur? I do love a good drive as well! There is so much to see and smell in the big wide world!

I am up to date on my rabies vaccination and microchipped. I will be adopted on a strict non-breeding and spay contract. I am booked on April 3rd at the rescue vet clinic in Kitchener, but hope to get one sooner! I am ready to go home with you!

KISKA

AVAILABLE FOR FOSTER/ADOPTION

Name: Kiska
Breed: Husky x Malamute
Sex: Female
Age: 8 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. Like my breeds are known to be, I can be assertive and stubborn. I would like to find a confident and experienced owner; someone I know I can trust and follow. I need a home with no other pets please! I am visually impaired, which is a major contributing factor to my undesirable behaviours.

I need an adult only home, with someone who can take me for walks a couple of times a day. I am used to being an inside pet and having access to a fenced yard. In the summer, I prefer to hang out indoors where it is cooler. I am used to being left alone for up to 8 hours a day. I am crate trained and house trained. I enjoy taking over your couch and I do not like to move, so we need to work on this. Building a good relationship where I learn to respect you will help a lot.I also guard my food/toys and like to dive into my food before I am released to get it. I like my food!

I can also be standoffish. It can take me some time to get comfortable, and I don’t like to be crowded or have people go in for pets. Once we have a connection, I can be very loving. I will tell you when I need to go outside and when I would like back in. I am very chatty and can hold a conversation with you! I also love squeaky toys. I do enjoy walking, but I will need to be better muzzle-trained and a basket muzzle used for walks due to my displeasure of other dogs approaching me and invading my space. Remember, I cannot see them well. I have bitten 2 dogs due to this I can easily be muzzled for grooming and restraint, of course once I know you.

I do have a reported bite history on a toddler; and I do growl and lift lips as a warning. I have been said to have bitten a handful of times throughout the last 7 years (unreported). Let me come to you and please respect my need for space. I do know some commands like, sit, paw, and lay down. I could probably learn more too. A great routine would be very helpful for me too. I haven’t met a cat before but given my breed mix, it is probably best to avoid them completely. I am not good with other dogs, and I will not be placed in a home with children.

Due to being vision impaired, my other senses are heightened. I am always on high alert with my ears, and I will startle and react to the slightest noise. I will run to the fence when the mailman or utility guys come to the house in an effort to scare them off. I will need to be put away when there is a stranger coming into the home to prevent any incidents. Be prepared to listen to my singing while I am away though. I do not like to be closed away from my humans or behind doors. I greet people well on leash most of the time when I am outside, just am not comfortable with strangers entering my home/space unannounced. I have warned and then lunged at a couple of people while on leash.

I am microchipped. I will be adopted on a strict non-breeding contract given my age.

• Located in Belleville, ON – $250 adoption fee
• In boarding - needs foster or adopter
• Looking for a home since March 2022.

LADY

AVAILABLE FOR FOSTER/ADOPTION

Name: Lady
Breed: Siberian Husky mix
Sex: Female
Age: 3 years
Cats: No
Dogs: Yes
Kids: No

Hey everyone, I’m Lady and I’m an approximately 3 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 up to date on my DHPP and bordatella vaccinations and I have been microchipped. I have a tentative spay appointment in Kitchener on July 2.

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

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!
