Breed: Siberian Husky mix
Sex: Male
Age: 3 years
Cats: Unknown
Dogs: Yes
Kids: No
Hey, my name is Baymax. I am white, just like Baymax from Big Hero 6. I respond to Max in my foster home though. I am a younger boy and in need of a bit more training, so an active home is best. Ideally, some breed experience is best.
I am not an "Alpha", by I do try to "Dominate " others by using my size and growl. I also try to use my mouth by "nipping "; but have not bit. I am learning to "be gentle " but need a strong confident handler to show me leadership. I am quick to learn what is expected of me, so this should be fairly easy. I really am a very smart boy, if I do say so! I am learning to sleep in my crate; but I would prefer to sleep wherever I want. This is an issue we are currently working on. I am not destructive and I am housetrained.
My foster family says that I am an "early bird"; but who can sleep when the sun comes up? There is so much day to experience - no need to waste it in bed! I love to make new friends and get along with dogs of all sizes. I also like to watch the neighbors cat walk along the fence (but not chased), but as I have not had direct contact with one; we are not sure how I would react to one. We are also not sure about children, but given my nipping and growling, it is likely best I not be in a home with children.
I LOVE car rides; please take me on one with the window partly open. I love to smell the wind! I really enjoy going on walks and will let you know when its time; 3 a day please! I walk great using my training collar. I like getting brushed; but not so much on my tail. I'm ok about having my nails done, but we still need to work on that... I'm just fine about sharing food, water and toys.
I am a very social boy. I like to stay where I can see my people. My favorite toy is the antler chew; it's the best. I can chew it in the presence of my people, and still occupy myself. It’s a win-win for my fosters and I! As I am originally from Florida, I am so looking foward to experiencing SNOW for the first time this coming winter in my forever home with you!
I am neutered, up to date on my vaccinations, heartworm negative, and I have been microchipped. I am ready to go!

BOLT
Available for Foster/Adoption
Name: Bolt
Breed: Siberian Husky mix
Sex: Male
Age: 12 years old
Cats: Untested
Dogs: Yes
Kids: Yes
Hello, my name is Bolt, and I am a stunning Siberian Husky mix. I am a lovely senior; my birthday is July 22, 2009. I am looking for a home local to me in British Columbia ONLY, as I don't travel well. I enjoy long naps and being able to have a good stretch, although I am still very fit and active for my age. I am willing to use a crate, but I would prefer not to be in a crate for long periods of time. I am used to being indoors at night, but I am happy outside in good weather. I haven’t met a cat before. Considering that I am a husky, cats, especially this late in life, are not a good idea. I am known to be good with other dogs and kids. However, considering my age, I am in my retirement years, I don’t need a young playmate or a rambuctious household.
I would like to find a loving home that also understands and respects my independence. I am not likely to sleep in your bed, but I will come to you for some cuddles and massages when I would like. Even though I am a senior I still need and want regular walks. I like to take my time and explore my surrounds and really smell the roses. Sounds like a wonderful and relaxing time, right? I really don’t need much. I am told that I am well behaved and loving, as well as gentle. I do enjoy running around still and am quite fit; I would like to keep this up, please. I am also used to being well groomed.
I am comfortable in group settings too, but I will likely act as the leader of my pack when I am in a group. I do not do this through aggressive behaviours, so please do not worry about this. I have lots of practice in dog parks in my younger years. I try to be gentle with everyone, including children, but I am not used to living with children.
I don’t have a bite history, but I can be quite vocal when playing. I also howl a lot during baths. I can pull on my leash but usually walk well. I am not really a fan of car rides, and I can become restless. I also do not really like that person you call “vet”. I am not a big eater, and I am not food motivated. I prefer a chew style treat and I am not a really big fan of toys. I should mention that though I do not go looking for escape routes; if presented with the opportunity, I will take it.
I am neutered, up to date on all of my vaccinations and microchipped. I am ready to go home with you!

CREME
Available for Adoption
Name: Creme Brulee
Breed: Alaskan Malamute mix
Sex: Male
Age: 6 years
Cats: No
Dogs: Yes - see description
Kids: No
Hi there, I am Creme Brulee, the very handsome malamute lad! I am estimated to be about 5 years old and I am seeking an adult only home with no cats and that does not use dog parks. I am a smart dog, but not a SMART dog. I am a courtesy listing, so please understand that inquiries and applications for me may be delayed and may not be approved by my rescue, but may be considered by SMART for one of their dogs!
I am seeking a malamute experienced home that can help me through my fears due to having a heavy-handed past. I also need a moderately active home 3 seasons out of the year, and a very active home in the winter. If you love to be outside playing in the snow, I would love you to be my human! I am looking for someone that can encourage me to gain confidence every day since it takes me a little bit to open up to new people. Please be patient with me - I come with some baggage!
I am generally a quiet boy, but in typical malamute fashion, I like to woooooo you. Everyone loves to be around me! Once I trust you, I love to give you shoulder hugs! It is just so cute, but you have to really be on my good books to be graced with my huggies. I also love to play fetch with my trusted people! Unlike those silly huskies, I actually bring the ball back! I will need someone that can keep up on my training, since I am a malamute afterall. Give me an inch, and I will take a mile!
I get along with most dogs as long as they are not rude and can respect me and give me my personal space when I ask for it. I do have a slight preference for females dogs, typical to my breed. I also have a preference for other northern breed dogs. I would like to share my home with a fellow malamute, or one of those little husky-things. A meet and greet will be required with any dogs I am to share my home with, just to be on the safe side. Please, no cats or children.
I have been searching for a home with my rescue for over a year now. Perhaps being posted with a breed-specific rescue as a courtesy post will help me find me forever home soon? I am neutered, fully up to date on all of my vaccinations, and microchipped. I am ready to go home with you! My rescue is Inugoya and can be reached at inu.goya@outlook.com, or you an submit an application on the SMART website and it will be forwarded to my rescue! Again, I am not a SMART dog and SMART is only courtesy posting me.

FRANKIE
Available for Foster/Adoption
Name: Frankie
Breed: Siberian Husky mix
Sex: Male
Age: 7 years
Cats: No
Dogs: No
Kids: No
Hi everyone! I’m Frankie! I was born on February 7, 2014, so you won’t have to worry about puppy antics because I’m a mature 7 year old. I’ve always been an outside dog, so you’ll have to be patient with my transition to living inside. An experienced forever family is a must since I will need lots of training and lots of patience. I want my forever family to know that I will do my best to learn new things, but it may take extra time and may never happen because I’m a mature dog. A family who is willing to love me just the way I am is imperative.
I am slow to warm up to people, so they have to be slow to approach and interact with me. Please keep away people who can’t respect my boundaries because I will, and have, bite if I feel threatened. This means that a calm, kid-free home is a must. Once I’ve warmed up to you though, I’ll happily give you kisses and go with you for walks. Sometimes I get so excited that I play-bite, so we’ll have to work on that together. I do get a bit rambunctious, and I love to howl early in the morning, so I need a family that can give me the exercise I need to help me settle down and sleep through the night. Lots of exercise will also help me be more trainable. I don’t have any training yet since I’ve been kept outside on a tether for my whole life. I also love to dig and have been known to use my master digging skills to escape, so you’ll need to keep a close eye on me outside.
I am not house or crate trained, so you will need be patient with me and help me work on either, or ideally, both of these important life skills. I have no basic obedience manners or leash walking skills either. So, you’ll need to think of me as an older, untrained, puppy and teach me appropriate behaviours from scratch. I also need to work on not biting. I think with experienced people, I can be shaped into the good boy I know I can be! I’m a good boy who just hasn’t been given the chance to show it yet. Will you help me learn to be the best I can be?
I am neutered. My adopter will be provided with an already registered microchip to have inserted upon my adoption as I am not yet microchipped.

JAGGER
Available for Adoption
Name: Jagger
Breed: Siberian Husky x Collie
Sex: Male
Age: 9 years old
Cats: No
Dogs: No
Kids: No
Well, hello there. I know, I am a looker. I am a very handsome and fit guy. Aren’t I just so photogenic? My name is Jagger, and I am a Husky x Collie. I am in need of an experienced home where I am the only pet, and ideally a rural setting where there are not a lot of interactions with other animals.
I am not an escape artist, and I am house trained. I am also used to being able to be both indoors and outdoors in an enclosed space, of course. I am looking for my perfect forever family. Once I am bonded to you, I am very loving and loyal to my person.
I need a home with someone who can take me for a good walk or two and play with me. I am and older guy, but very energetic!!! I do have a limp in my back leg and hold it up, but it does not stop me from running for hours at all! I am incredibly smart and willing to learn and please. I do need someone who can commit time and energy to me and my training. I have been crated in the past, so that might be an option, but since I got off the plane, I have not wanted to go in it. I do like to bark, so no attached housing please! I do have some important other quirks we need to discuss.
My current family thinks I would do best in a home with no kids, and if possible, none living nearby. I will go after animals without provocation due to my dog reactivity. This has, unfortunately, resulted in many bites to humans due to redirecting when I am reached for. I also have handling sensitivities around my hips, which can lead to a bite if you don’t read and respond to my warning signs appropriately.
I am very food driven, but am gentle about taking my food. I catch on to routine quickly and am very smart! I do need to work on my leash walking manners, and I need to learn not to jump up on people and stick my dewclaws in their legs. With the right person, I will be an amazing addition to an active home! Please no cats - I see the cat every day and want to get ahold of her.
I am neutered, up to date on my vaccines and I am microchipped. I am ready to go home with you now!

KAIN
Available for Adoption/Foster
Name: Kain
Breed: Siberian Husky x German Shepherd
Sex: Male
Age: 5 years
Cats: No
Dogs: Very Selective
Kids: No
Hey, I’m Kain and I am searching for an experienced forever home of my own. My forever home needs to have experience with resource guarding, separation anxiety, and no children due to my bite history surrounding resource guarding. I would be better in a single-gender or single-owner household as well, but if my owners are experienced enough with guarding, it’s not mandatory.
I am protective of things that I find, food, bones, toys, treats, and also my human mom when she is on her monthly cycle. I also have a fabric fetish, and will swallow any fabric that I find, like socks, so my forever home needs to be diligent to keep not just myself safe from surgery, but everyone safe from my guarding. I have 2 blankets that are fabric that I enjoy and do not eat. I don’t like to be left alone in a room, or really at all, so someone should always be with me to keep my comfortable. In typical husky fashion, fetch is not a favorite game - you will need to go and get the ball.
I am very observant of my surroundings and know when something of mine, or that I believe to be mine, has been moved. I will let you brush me to a point, but when I have had enough, I will bare teeth and growl. I am not a fan of the bath, but I love to play in water. I also love to drink from moving water sources, so make sure the moving water source is clean water. I will drink from my water bowl as well though. I am house and crate trained, but lately have been getting a temper about being put in my crate. Although I live indoors, I love the smell of fresh cut grass and chasing bugs and going on hikes outdoors, or simply just lazing around in the sun.
I usually get 3 walks per day, so an active home is best for me. I have my own kennel area and like to hoard my toys or bones there (but like any kid, I will leave my toys out to be stepped on).
My training is basic to moderate and I walk well on leash with my training collar.
I greet my people at the door with howls of joy when they return from being out. I am happy and carefree most of the time, but will nip/bite when in protective mode of my personal area and things. I am terrified of fireworks, car engine noises, and am not comfortable during car rides. I will hide under the table, but pulling me out by my collar is not something I am a fan of.
Socially, I am best as a single dog. I like to chase cats, so let’s not go there. With humans, I do well also as long as I am not guarding. I am loving, curious, respectful and cautious when comfortable with my adult owners. I am also sympathetic around humans and animals who are ill injured, making me a very loyal companion with a few workable quirks for the right person.
I am neutered, microchipped and up to date on all of my vaccinations. I am ready to go home with you immediately!

KOBE
Available for Foster/Adoption
Name: Kobe
Breed: Husky x Bulldog
Sex: Male
Age: 1 year old
Cats: Untested
Dogs: Yes
Kids: No
Hi! Hi! Hi! Over here! Aren’t my ears just the best? I have a great smile too! My name is Kobe and I was born on January 1 2021, so I just turned 1 year old. I am a very energetic Husky Bulldog mix. I need a home with someone who can take me for long walks a couple of times a day and play with me. Lots of exercise will be important for me, not only because I am young, but also because of my natural energy level. However, I do need someone who can commit time and energy to me and my training.
Like my breeds of my mix are known to be, I can be assertive, and I am high energy. I am untested with cats, but given my mix of breeds and my energy level it might not be a good idea. I am untested with children, but given I have a bite history, I will not be placed in a home with children. The circumstance around the bite have not been disclosed at this time.
I am not used to being left alone for long hours, but I have been crated in the past, so maybe we can work something out? With all of this energy I am a skilled escape artist. I can climb and jump things pretty well. If I get good exercise and training, I will be more relaxed and listen better. I also need some help with how to greet people correctly. I get really excited to see people and I tend to jump on them because I am so excited. I am told this isn’t a good thing to do. Unfortunately, as much as my current family loves me, they can’t keep up with my energy given my breed mix. They want to help me find my perfect family, is that you?
I love to play with my toys. I really love chewy and squeaky toys! I am house trained and pretty good at letting you know what is up. I also really enjoy both the snow and swimming at the beach. Do you also like these things? Once I have bonded with you, I am very loyal. I do have a particular quirk. See, I really don’t like brooms. If you try to clean up a mess, especially if I am playing with it, it makes me nervous. Then I get loud and panic, then I tend to attack. So, we might need to work on me learning that brooms aren’t a problem. I am guessing this is when my bite history happened.
A home with a yard that is full fenced with a high fence would be a great idea for me. With a clear routine and training, I should adapt well. A meet and greet will be required if I am to live with another dog to make sure we get along. Again, I have never met a cat, but considering my energy and my breed mix it is probably not a good idea that I live with a cat.
I am up to date on my vaccinations and microchipped. I will be adopted on a strict neuter and non-breeding agreement as I am not yet neutered.

LOOKY
AVAILABLE FOR FOSTER
***ON INTAKE WAITING LIST. NEEDS FOSTER***
Looky
Hi Melissa ,
We have another malamute at the shelter who has been waiting a long time too. When I wrote to you the last time I wanted to talk about Nalla first since she is less comfortable in kennels.
He spent his life tied to a kennel outside with two other dogs. I'll copy its description if you can help us. If not, can you refer us to another ethical organization?
Looky (6 and a half year old malamute): really does not like men (history of biting when a volunteer pets her on the head, single bite held), selective with a few dogs, predation with small dogs and cats. He gives me the impression of never having been well framed positively since he lived outside before. Reactive in his cage too. Veterinary handling it is ok. He recently broke a tooth and to remove it he showed his teeth to the vet when she came to sedate him, otherwise nothing before. He has made a lot of progress using animal handlers (walking on a leash, seeing strangers and several everyday situations) and he is calm and non-destructive. He is sterilized, vaccinated, and sterilized.
We think he deserves his family and the chance to have a loving home. He has made a lot of progress at the shelter.
Thank you for your time .

LOU
AVAILABLE FOR FOSTER/ADOPTION
Name: Lou
Breed: Husky mix
Sex: Male
Age: 1 year old
Cats: No
Dogs: Yes, selective
Kids: Yes - older
Hi there! I’m Lou and I am still a young pup. Sadly, my people don’t have the time available to provide for me and are helping me find a family who does. Like most huskies I have a lot of energy and in the right home I will be an amazing family member. Now the most important thing you need to know, I am a young guy. My birthday July 4, 2021. Yup, that’s right, I recently celebrated my first birthday!
Right now, I am primarily an outdoors pet, but I am sure I could adapt to an indoor lifestyle. I am usually tethered outside when there too. I am usually only left alone for up to 2 hours a day. So, I would prefer to have my humans around more often than not. Even though I could learn to be indoors it is important to note that I have been known to break screens to get outside. This is an area where some training would probably help me.
I need a home with someone who can dedicate time to me. I am a very sweet boy and I just need attention and someone with time to play with me. I am said to be a bit of an escape artist too. So, you will need to be ready to deal with that and maybe make sure I can’t take off too easily. I have already had two homes in my short life. Could you be my forever home, please?
I have not crate trained and I will need someone who is committed to training me. I am said to be good with other dogs, but it is always recommended to ensure proper introductions when meeting new canine friends. I am not good with dogs that are more dominant than me, so a meet and greet will be mandatory, as well as a 2-week foster-to-adopt trial period. I could also live with older children, but a meet and greet would be needed to ensure we get along well. I have a high prey drive, so no cats please!
Please be prepared for a longer adjustment period given the lifestyle change you are expecting of me, and follow the rescue rules of having a leash on me at all times for a couple of months while I adjust as I will likely try to escape and need that extra piece of security just in case I do. Safety first!
I am neutered, up to date on all of my vaccinations and microchipped. I am ready to go home with you!

MILLER
AVAILABLE FOR FOSTER/ADOPTION
Name: Miller
Breed: Husky mix
Sex: Male
Age: 2 years old
Cats: No (Afraid)
Dogs: Yes (Selective)
Kids: Yes
Hi there! I’m Miller and I am a bouncy and energetic 2-year-old. My birthday is August 8, 2019 .Yup, that’s right, I have a birthday coming up! I am really a winter dog. I live up to my breed. Sadly, my people must relocate to a hotter climate, and they know I probably won’t be very happy there. Like most huskies I like to be outside, especially in the winter. I have a lot of energy and in the right home I will be an amazing family member. So, what else can I tell you about me?
Let’s talk about other animals. What about cats? Well, I am said to be afraid of them. However, given my breed’s high prey drive, it is not the best idea either, so, let’s say no cats. I am said to be selective with other dogs. It would be recommended to ensure proper introductions when meeting new dogs. I could also live with children, but older children are recommended, because I don’t always know my own size. A meet and greet would be needed with any children that I am to live with, to ensure we get along well.
As I mentioned, I am a young guy. Right now, I am primarily an outdoors pet, but I am sure I could adapt to an indoor lifestyle. I do love being outside though, so hopefully you want to be there too. I am used to being left alone for up to 8 hours a day. I would prefer to have my humans around more often than not, however. I really like people and I love to play. Since I love being outside so much, I would appreciate a backyard where I can run and place. Perhaps a doggie door would be a good investment so that I can come and go as I please.
I need a home with someone who can dedicate the time to exercise me and play with me. I am a very sweet boy. I am also a bit of an escape artist too. So, you will need to be ready to deal with that and maybe make sure I can’t take off too easily. If you give me the opportunity, I will take it. I would benefit from someone with breed experience, who understands huskies. Could you be my forever home, please?
I am neutered and microchipped. I am ready to go home with you! I know being in Alberta is going to be a bit of a hinderance on finding me a home, so please share me extensively in hopes that someone you know in Alberta will see me and want to take me home!

MILO
Available for Foster/Adoption
Name: Milo
Breed: Siberian Husky mix
Sex: Male
Age: 3.5 years
Cats: No
Dogs: Selective
Kids: No
Hey, my name is Milo, and I was born on October 27 2018. I am here seeking a home with a fenced yard for me to enjoy with my new humans before August 2022. I am seeking a cat-free and child-free home as well since I have some resource guarding tendencies with both humans and animals.
I am very attentive to my humans and a good companion. I enjoy running and playing fetch! A husky that does fetch! I am an active boy, as most young huskies are. If you give me enough daily exercise and stimulation, I will be very calm at home and cuddle up against your legs. I am very food moivated, so training me new commands might be a good way to help us build a bond and also tire me out. I am leash reactive when I meet other dogs on leash, however I love to run and play with dogs off leash once I know them and have accepted them. I definitely need to work on my greeting manners and have an owner understanding of this. I do also still pull on the leash as well, so training me not to do this may help in my greeting manners. I could live with another dog that I accept as long as dogs are fed separately and there are no toys/bones to guard AND my adopter is experienced with resource guarding.
I am in my second home currently, and am seeking a third, and final home. Unfortunately, my humans are moving and I cannot go with either of them. I currently live in an apartment building, and could likely do so again if my humans are active enough and have a spacious space indoors. After I get my daily walks, I like to have the zoomies, so small spaces might get accidentally destroyed in my play. If I also kept busy with mind games, training, stimulation, and play also help to keep me happy and relaxed. I am not destructive in your absences from home, but if you leave food out, I will help myself. I have been crated in the past, so would need a refresher if you would like to crate me. I am house trained.
I do unfortunately have an unreported bite history. The circumstances are unknown, however it’s likely due to resource guarding. My current humans have been trying to work with me on this. I love meeting new people in the elevators and receiving their affection. Due to my resource guarding and bite history, I cannot go to a home with children. I am a little rough around the edges, but with some time, training and patience, I can show you how good I can be! It’s important that you can read dog body language; it is easier to determine when certain handing, like collar grabbing/holding, may become an issue if grabbed quickly and unexpected. I like to see what you are doing if it involves me and not surprised. I loves pets on the tummy, scratches on the bum, and am not sensitive to being brushed..in fact I love it. Sometimes my humans use the pet attachment on the Dyson on me.
I am neutered and I have been microchipped. I am ready to go!

RAYDEN
AVAILABLE FOR FOSTER
Name: Rayden
Breed: Husky Malamute mix
Sex: Male
Age: 1 years 2 months old
Cats: No
Dogs: Unknown
Kids: Unknown
Hi there. My name is Rayden, and I am a fun-loving Husky Malamute mix. Don’t I look like so much fun? I found myself in the shelter as a surrender. I really need a home that can give the attention I crave and exercise I need. My birthday is recorded as April 30, 2021. I really need someone who can be dedicated to my training and helping me become the best boy I know I can be.
Right now, I get a minimum of two long walks each day, but any fun activity that could help work off my puppy energy would be great. I have a few bad habits. When I am bored or looking for something to do, I really like to chew on the furniture. I need some redirection and help to learn that that isn’t what I should be chewing on. I would do best with people who are around more often than not. I also get really excited when I see other animals and want to chase them.
Speaking of animals. What about cats? Given my breed it is best that I do not live with felines or other small pets, especially since I love to chase them. What about dogs? I am unsure, maybe after proper training I could meet dogs with proper introductions, but I have only socialized with the other dog in my first home. I do love people and kids. I come from a family with some kids but given my energy kids older than 8 years old would be best. I really do love my humans though.
One thing that I know for certain is that I am not really happy in the shelter. I am extremely anxious there and display many physical signs of anxiety. I have not been aggressive, and everyone just thinks I need a happy place to call home, or at least a foster home. A home with a yard that is full fenced would be nice for me to help me expend some of my energy.
I am up to date on my vaccines. I am currently unneutered and will be adopted out on a strict neuter and no breeding contract. I will be microchipped upon fostering or adoption. In a household that can invest the time into my training and the patience needed, I will be an amazing companion. I would be a great addition to the right household and family. Is that you? Apply now! What are you waiting for? My owner will be provided with all other adoption information and tags.

REX
Available for Foster/Adoption
Meet Rex. He is a 3 year old, 70lb neutered husky/shepherd mix who adores his human foster parents.
Rex was found as a stray and spent a few months in the shelter before he was taken in by his current foster parents. He has been with them for over a year. Unfortunately they will soon be leaving the country for a job and cannot take him with them.
Rex is a loving, silly boy who is full of energy. He thrives with structure and consistency. He has high energy but settles well with his daily walks. He has a high prey drive and can be leash reactive with other dogs. He has been working with the shelter trainer and his foster parents on redirection and refocusing activities to counter these tendencies. Fortunately he is very treat motivated which aids in these efforts. He knows a few commands (come, wait, ok/break, slow, sit, down, off) and would benefit from more training exercises. Due to his reactivity Rex requires a home with no other animals.
Rex eats his meals in his crate and is crate trained. He does not need to be shut in it when left alone as he is great in the house and is completely potty trained. He is super cuddly in the morning (after he's been fed) and will seek out attention or a game of tug/fetch when feeling playful. Rex has been nothing but a joy in the home and will thrive with someone who wants an active dog to continue working with him on positive reinforcement training.

SHADOW
Available for Adoption/Sponsor
Name: Shadow
Breed: Siberian Husky x Alaskan Malamute
Sex: Male
Age: 5.5 years
Cats: No
Dogs: Selective
Kids: No
Hi there, I’m Shadow and I am about 5.5 years old. I am seeking an experienced forever home, so please read carefully. I am said to be a Siberian Husky, but I have a lot of Malamute traits, so, I must be a mix of the two!
I need exercise, routine, patience and understanding to allow me to feel safe enough to be myself. You see, I have a hard time trusting humans as they have let me down in the past. This fear shows in some of my strange and bizarre biting triggers. I have a behavior observation report that will be shared with chosen potential candidates as part of the full disclosure of this rescue. Within my foster home I have grown immensely and am thriving. We have established an understanding of what I need to avoid these strange triggers. For example, I do not like it when you use your hand to wipe the floor or start to clean. I much prefer to be safe in a closed room while the cleaning is completed.
I find comfort in routine and love to go for long walks so I can explore. I also live for car rides. Any time I can jump in I will show you to the car! I am crate trained, house trained, and muzzled trained. I am not good with children or cats as they are unpredictable. There are select dogs that I get along with, so I could do a meet and greet if my prospective home has another dog to see if it is an option. Some dogs seem to scare me, and if I see another dog as a threat, I will try to lunge at them or try to beat them up. If I am not threatened, I’m happy and excited with new friends. I do seem to love all people and will greet everyone as a friend. I am highly food motivated and I will do just about anything for food. I even try to anticipate in hopes of pleasing someone just enough to indulge in a treat.
I know my basic obedience commands and am excellent at walking on leash. I used to be a sled dog, but I am not a fan of that job and have adapted very well to pet life. I have been transferred in from another rescue, so I have a support network if my new family is in need of any assistance with figuring out my cues and triggers. I cannot believe that I have not had a single application or ounce of interest in the year I have been with the rescue! I am a sweet boy; you just need to work around my quirks and understand me.
I am neutered, up to date on my rabies vaccinations, and microchipped. I am ready to go home with you and start our new lives together!

SPENCER
Available for Foster/Adoption/Sponsor
Name: Spencer
Breed: Siberian Husky mix
Sex: Male
Age: 3.5 years
Cats: No
Dogs: Selective
Kids: No
Hi there, I’m Spencer and I am about 3.5 years old. I am seeking an experienced forever home with a fence at least 5ft 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.
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 have bitten on a first introduction once, and I need to be with a very understanding and experienced person. I am more oriented towards women, but have accepted one man.
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 and lunged at every human that has approached 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 a high prey drive for the cat, so no cats please! I cannot be with childre!
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 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 cannot emphasize enough that I need a special, experienced, and dedicated person to help me through my reactivity and guarding behaviours. Once we have a trust and understanding, I am a great boy! However, it is likely to be a rough go for the first few weeks as we establish routine and boundaries. I am one of the more difficult dogs at the rescue and have been looking for a home for over a year.
I am neutered, up to date on all of my vaccinations, flea treated, and microchipped. I am ready to go home with you!

STITCH
Available for Adoption/Sponsor
Name: Stitch
Breed: German Shepherd
Sex: Male
Age: 7 years old
Cats: No
Dogs: No
Kids: No
Well, hello there. I know, I am a looker. I am a very handsome and fit guy. You may also notice that I am not a husky or malamute. I am a Working-line German Shepherd that has been living at the husky and malamute kennel since May, though! I think I have picked up some of their silly traits. Now that I have your attention, let’s get down to business. I need a SERIOUSLY EXPERIENCED home with absolutely no other pets and no children. My human will be extremely picky on where I will be rehomed to.
I am very smart and am obedience trained. However, I have a very very intense drive and reactivity towards other dogs. This has resulted in several bites to both dogs and humans. I was issued a muzzle order in my former city. In fact, I need a rural setting where there is little to no stimulation for me. I will not be put into a residential environment again as I cannot handle the stress. I have an avid desire to door-barge as well, which is what lead to my latest situation and landed me safe with these nice people at the husky and malamute kennel, but separated from my human.
I absolutely need an experienced person, and there is no sugar-coating that. I am STRONG, I am INTENSE, and I am NOT for the faint of heart. I have bitten more than once. I am muzzle-trained though. I am also crate-trained, and must travel in a crate or I will destroy your vehicle in an attempt to get at dogs we pass in transit. I have separation anxiety, general anxiety, and am insecure as well, which leads to destruction when I am left alone in the house. I would love someone that is always home. I am house trained, but since I have been in a kennel setting for 6 months, I will likely need a refresher on my house training. I am NOT an apartment or attached housing dog due to my destruction and my LOVE for barking! I absolutely MUST have a fenced in yard with a fence at least 5 ft high.
I have lived with cats in the past, but I like to chase them sometimes. Let’s not take that chance. I am NOT good with dogs. I am NOT going to be placed with children due to my multiple bite history and intense door barging, coupled with my size and strength. I like to nip new people upon greeting, but I do stop that for the most part once I know you. I will also flop upside down for belly rubs once you become one of my people! I am not good in the bath, but I am good for brushing - albeit very wiggly. I don’t have time to sit there for you to brush - there are balls to catch!!! I LOVE fetch and will literally play fetch until YOU drop. I will go allllllll day. Fetch is amazing.
I am very athletic and energetic, so I need a home where I will be exercised daily, both physically and mentally, for several hours. Have I mentioned yet that I am NOT for the faint of heart or inexperienced person?
I am neutered, up to date on my vaccinations and I am microchipped. I am ready to go home with you now!

STORM
Available for Foster/Adoption
Name: Storm
Breed: Siberian Husky mix
Sex: Male
Age: 4 years
Cats: No
Dogs: Maybe
Kids: No
Hi there, I’m Storm and I am 4 years old. I am seeking a new home where I am not around children and with experienced people who are used to resource guarding behaviours.
I am used to being a house pet, and can be left alone for 6/7 hours without any trouble provided that food is put away and garbage/recyling is not accessible. I am very house trained and am crate trained. I like to go for my daily long walks and to spend time with my family. I like to play ball with my family, especially if we are outside and there is snow on the ground! I love peanut butter, so muzzle training me should be a breeze! I am very curious and smart, as well as loyal and protective of my family. I am also quite protective of my stuff, or stuff I think is mine.
When I moved into my last family, I was allowed on the couch and in the bed, but they realized that when it's time for me to move away, I don't like to give space and can be challenging. Therefore, I am not allowed on those anymore. On a day to day basis, I am a really quiet dog. I do not require lots of exercise, and as long as I got my daily walk, I am happy! If it's time for my walk and you forget me, I will make sure you know with my own language that I need to go outside and explore! I like to play ball and I love tug or war. Be ready; I don't let go!! I was not much into staying outside by myself, but as the nice weather is coming out I like to relax in the my fenced yard and get a tan. I do not bark unless I feel a threat or am in an anxious state. I am a really smart dog. I do obey basic obedience commands. I will anticipate everything you are going to ask from me for some treats or peanut butter 
At first I might be distant, but as soon as I get to know and trust you, I become an affectionate dog. I love belly rubs too.
I have bitten several times I dislike children and cats, and I am a resource guarder. I will bite if I feel you are taking my stuff, or stuff I perceive as mine. I like to hide toys in places like the couch, and if you unknowingly go for it, I will bite you. I am sorry, but it is mine! I have also bitten a good samaritan who caught me by my collar when I door dashed out of my previous adoptive home. If you can read dog body language, it is easier to determine when certain handing, like collar grabbing/holding, will become an issue. I am otherwise good for light petting/handling. I tried to see a veterinarian however, and I was not having any part of that. I got sent home without being examined because I was anxious, uncomfortable, and acting aggressively. I need to be muzzle trained before I see a veterinarian again.
I haven’t met many dogs, but have met a few. Interactions went ok provided that the other dog didn’t start dominating or being aggressive towards me. A meet and greet will definitely be required if I am to live with another dog. If you have experience, please give me a chance!
I am neutered, up to date on all of my vaccinations, and microchipped. I am ready to go home with you!

YORICK
AVAILABLE FOR FOSTER/ADOPTION
Name: Yorick
Breed: Siberian Husky mix
Sex: Male
Age: 5.5 years
Cats: No
Dogs: Selective
Kids: Yes, older
Hey, my name is Yorick, and I was born on December 9 2016. I am here seeking a rural, more northern home that can provide me lots of space to explore safely within a fence, and can offer me the comfort of being the only dog. I need an active home that can provide 2 hours of exercise a day, as well as love and affection.
I am very loving and love to snuggle! I will snuggle forever! I also love to learn new tricks and commands, so we should be able to form a bond very quickly through training. I do know my basic commands already as well. I sort of worship you, as I bow to my human every morning. I love to have zoomies, but I get very carried away in doing this. I have bruised people in my jumping up and grabbing. I don’t mean to hurt you, but this is definitely something I need to work on! This is the reason I will not be placed in a home with young children.
As I grew up as a baby puppy on a reservation and had encounters with aggressive dogs, I am not great at socializing with other dogs. I love to be with humans however! I will follow you around, including escaping just to get to you. In fact, I kept breaking into the school my owner was working at when I was just a wee baby! SO, he adopted me to save my life as the community was going to euthanize me for this trait Another part of my bond to humans, is that I have some separation anxiety, and get destructive when I am home alone. I am crate trained though, which helps with this, and I am able to be left alone for 6 hours a day. Even though I am destructive, I am quiet.
I am active, and need exercise in order to stop my inappropriate play style and bruising people. I have been trained to pull weight in a harness, but would need a refresher. This, or other harness activities would be an excellent way to help me with my energy and also work my brain. Perhaps we can do bike-joring as a means of exercise, or I can help haul the wood!
I am neutered, up to date on my vaccinations and I have been microchipped. I am ready to go!
