BEAU
AVAILABLE FOR FOSTER/ADOPTION
Name: Beau
Breed: Siberian Husky mix
Sex: Male
Age: 2.5 years
Cats: No
Dogs: Yes
Kids: Yes
Hi there, my name is Beau and I am 2.5 years old. I am here seeking a home where someone is home more often than not. I need a fenced in yard please as I am an escape artist and have previously been hit by a car (thankfully, I am ok!). I am very fast!
I am a pretty typical husky! I am very smart, and am not overly treat motivated and can be a picky eater as well. I do know some basic commands, such as stay and my recall. I don’t pull too hard on the leash, but there is still room for improvement. Being a smart boy though, it should be fairly easy to train me once you figure out ways to work around my intelligence and stubbornness, like squeaky balls to get my attention! I would love to learn under your guidance, and possibly the guidance of a trainer.
I am house-trained. My former 3 sisters and I did not share food bowls, so I have shown solme resource gaurding with other dogs when food and toys are around. I do like to dig holes when I am outside, and am destructive if left alone inside the house and not in a crate. Unfortunately, I am also destructive of my crate and need a secure crate. I was said to be crate-trained previously, so perhaps it is because I went from having siblings to being a single-pet that has caused crate destruction and not liking being alone at all. Perhaps a dog for company would help!
I did live with 3 female dogs, and have met and played with some male dogs. A meet and greet would be required with any prospective new family pets to ensure we get along. Please, no cats. I lived with children and am good with them, so I can be with children! I like to chase rabbits outside and while I can be called off well, it is still prey drive and would not be recommended with cats.
I am very affectionate and will keep begging you for belly rubs as I love those! I could be described as a velcro dog as I want to always be with my human! I am very cuddly as well. I really love being in the company of others, and seem to not do well being entirely alone, even for short durations. I am hoping if I can either find a home with someone home all the time, a home with a dog companion, or a home that will be able to leave me secured outside during the day so that I do not destroy the home. I do love being outside as well!
I am neutered and microchipped. I am ready to go home with you!

BOGART
Available for Adoption/Foster
Name: Bogart
Breed: Siberian Husky Mix
Sex: Male
Age: 5 Years
Dogs: No currently - see description
Cats:No
Kids: No
Hi, I’m Bo — a handsome heart-stealer on the lookout for my forever home, where I can give all the love I have (and trust me, it’s a lot). I am currently residing in an apartment, so any home time should work just fine for me!
I’m told I’m the sweetest, most affectionate boy around. I have a gentle soul and I thrive on being close to my humans. Whether we’re cuddling on the couch, I’m giving you kisses, following you from room to room, or just gazing up at you with my big, adoring eyes — I’m happiest when I’m by your side. I form deep bonds and I love hard. Once I know you’re my person, I’ll give you my whole heart — no questions asked.
I’ve got tons of love to give, but when it comes to other dogs, I might prefer being your one and only. I do get excited around smaller dogs, but my foster mom says we’d have to take it slow and see how I feel with proper introductions. Every dog is different, right? The shelter had noted that I am good with other dogs, however, that does not seem to be the case in foster care. Environments make a difference! I might be able to cohabit in time and with an experienced person.
I am not yet house trained, but I am working on it. As I am prone to stealing food and things I should not have, even right from you, and then I guard them, I am not suitable for a home with children. With my anxiety at first, and this trait, I am a bite risk, however, have not yet bitten. Also, crates and I just don’t mix. They make me really anxious. But don’t worry! I’ve never been destructive and I don’t chew on things I shouldn’t. When my foster mom leaves me alone, I usually just curl up in her bed and snooze until she gets back.
I’d be a great match for someone who loves routine and is willing to help me keep building confidence. I’ve got so much potential, and I know I can become the very best version of myself with the right person by my side. Once I am settled in and have learned the routine, my initial anxiety does drastically decrease.
I am neutered, up to date on all of my vaccinations, and microchipped. I am ready to go home with you now!

EVEREST
AVAILABLE FOR FOSTER/ADOPTION
Name: Everest
Breed: Siberian Husky mix
Age: 3 years
Sex: Male
Cats: No
Dogs: Yes - MANDATORY
Kids: Yes, older
Hi there, the name is Everest and I was born on April 12 2022. I am here seeking an active forever home where someone is home more often than not, and that has other dogs to help alleviate my boredom, anxiety, and keep my company. I am a lot of fun and very sweet; you just have to keep up with my energy and we will be best friends!
I enjoy going on walks and I get excited when I pass other dogs and humans, I want to say hi to everyone! I am still learning leash manners and like to pull. I have a high prey drive and get excited when I see squirrels and other small animals, so I pull toward them. Hang on tight!
I am very energetic, and my mom unfortunately is chronically injured, so it is a challenge for me to stay in my home, so I need a home sooner than later. I go to daycare and absolutely love other dogs around my size or larger. I am not good with small dogs. I would do best in a home with a fenced yard that I can expel my energy in. I currently live in an apartment, and because of mom’s injury, I am not getting my energy needs met to their full potential.
I am fully house trained and I know the basic commands of Sit, stay, leave it and Paw. I am not yet good in a crate, and am also not used to being alone. When I have been crated in the past, I vocalized my displeasure. It will be important to crate train me and work on longer and longer absences from the home. I may be better with absences from the home with other dogs in the home to comfort me.
I am good with humans of all sizes except babies and toddlers, dogs (except small dogs), but am not good with cats due to my high prey drive. As a former stray, I need a bit of a patient owner to help me adjust to new environments, but that is pretty standard stuff! I should also be muzzle trained for walks as I have a fetish for cigarette butts, and will pick them up off the ground. I am not a fan of going to the groomer, and need to be desensitized to the spraying of water.
I am neutered, up to date on my rabies vaccination and microchipped. I am ready to go home!

FINNEGAN
Available for Foster/Adoption
Name: Finnegan
Breed: Siberian Husky mix
Age: 2.5 years
Sex: Male
Cats: Maybe
Dogs:Yes-female
Kids: No
Hi everyone! My name is Finnegan, or Finn for short, and l am a bright-eyed and bushy tailed sweetheart.I love to be around people and get lots of attention and give it back! I am medium sized,60 lbs. .I am seeking a very active forever home!
I need a lot of exercise, but afterwards, I am pretty good about settling down if you are working or go out. I just rest up quietly and watch out in case you move a muscle, because then I am right there to see what you are doing! But then I’ll settle down again if nothing is happening.
Although watch out when you let me out of my crate, because l am going to race around and bounce up and down and act crazy for a bit!
l love going on walks and runs and am learning not to pull, although I do get excited by other dogs and will sometimes bark or jump a bit. But I'm learning that my foster mom will give me a treat if I walk nicely past, so l am starting to just look for that instead! I don't worry at all about bikes,cars,street cars,city noises, so I would be fine in a busy place once l learn to walk nicely. I also would love to be a running companion. My foster mom says I run better than my foster siblings because I don't stop to try and pick up garbage! Running tires me out more,but l am good with just walking too,and as long as I get some good mileage in the morning and late afternoon,I'm pretty calm after a play session with my sister.(Okay,maybe a fairly long play session).
l love to play with my foster sister, we run around chasing each other or just wrestle. I sometimes get a little rough and she tells me off and then I argue with her, but we get over it pretty fast. I am not as sure about my foster brother, and l am a little bit more protective of food and toys (and my foster mom) around him, but I am okay with my sister. With my foster parents, I am not possessive at all, although I haven't been trained to release things, but I give them up and l am learning to do it on command.
I am house trained and crate trained. I also know sit and down, but I generally need some treat encouragement, and I have trouble concentrating on commands when I am excited and especially outside when there is so much going on. But,my foster mom says I am really trainable!
I haven't met any kids up close, but I don't react to them. However, when I greet people l am really excited. Unfortunately, I now have a bite history over being corrected/restrained in the home that returned me, so I cannot be with young kids. Older kids may be considered on a case-by-case basis. I don’t try to escape the yard, the crate or dig holes in the yard. I have stolen some food off the counter, so I need to be watched in the kitchen. I'm pretty well behaved, just really really energetic! I do take the opportunity to dart out the door, though! With the proper exercise, I will stop trying to dart out the door as well. Exercise, exercise, exercise!
l am curious, and loving and really want to be a part of a family. I would make a wonderful addition to a loving (but active)home.
l am neutered and microchipped. I am ready to go home immediately!

GARNETT
AVAILABLE FOR FOSTER
URGENT FOSTER NEEDED
Hello Melissa,
I hope you have been doing well. I am reaching out from the **** regarding a dog in our care named Garnett. Garnett was found as a stray and although he was microchipped, we were never able to make contact with his owners despite many attempts. He is approximately 9 months old (this age was on his microchip), and is intact. He is UTD on bordatella and rabies.
Garnett is friendly with strangers and does well with female dogs, however he can be picky with males. The reason we are looking for placement and not putting him up on our adoption floor is because during his SAFER test and the resource guarding portion, he did freeze significantly at the bowl when we went to remove it and growled. We did not push him past this point and he recovered quickly once finishing the bowl of food and re-engaged in his friendly, playful manner.
He is such a young, beautiful dog so we are hoping a rescue is able to step up and help him.
Thank you so much for any help you can provide and please let me know if you have any questions.
JAGGER
Available for Adoption
Name: Jagger
Breed: Siberian Husky x Collie
Sex: Male
Age: 11 years old
Cats: No
Dogs: No
Kids: No
Well, hello there. 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 an older guy, but still need my exercise. 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. Someone who can read and understands body language would be the most ideal as well. I love to lay on my doggie bed after I have had my daily exercise and just chill out. I do like to bark, so no attached housing please! I do have some important other quirks we need to discuss.
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 good at being muzzled for my medicated baths and just any type of restraint/handling that needs to be done. However, like anything else, that requires a trust bond first. Please, no kids, dogs or cats in my home. I did make a doggie-friend, but only when outside in the yard. I have massive resourse guarding, and will go after my friend or any human when I have smething, so please give me space when I am eating or have a chew.
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! As you can see by my coat, I do have an autoimmune condition and seasonal as well as dietary allergies. I do best on a brand called Forza-10, or a raw meat diet.
I am neutered and microchipped. I am ready to go home with you now!

MAVERICK
NEEDS SPONSOR
Name: Maverick
Breed: Siberian Husky Mix
Sex: Male
Age: 3.5 Years
Dogs: No
Cats: No
Kids: Yes, older
Hello Everyone! I am Maverick!. I am estimated to be about 3.5 years old. I am here seeking an experienced and secure home. I would be ok in just about any home environment as long as my owner is observant and cautious. I am looking to be the single-pet in your home.
Aren’t my ears just the cutest things you’ve ever seen? I think so! Along with my small size, at roughly 20kg, I am just adorable. I am also mostly well-mannered at home, which is a huge bonus. I have learned a lot of basic commands with my foster family, and have also been house and crate trained. I am treat motivated, so training me and continuing my training is fairly easy as well. I love to go for drives, and even walk well on leash. I can sometimes be grumbly when I am disturbed while sleeping, but aren’t you, too? I would be best with older kids that would have more dog-knowledge to not disturb a dog while it’s sleeping, eating, drinking, pottying, etc.
I am lower energy than most huskies, so I would be fine in a less active home as long as my training is continued. I walk well on the leash and have been to many crowded adoption events and done well! As a smaller, lower-energy boy, I would be fine in attached housing, or a home with a securely fenced yard. I do not try to jump, climb, or dig out, but will take an opportunity that is visible, such as an open gate, a gap, or an open door. Pretty typical husky-stuff! Despite my small size, I still require a firm owner. Perhaps an older, former malamute owner, would be great for me as I am smaller, but need that firmness.
While I do live with 2 dogs in my current foster home, I am not the greatest with other dogs and this took a lot of time and training from my foster. I also absolutely cannot live with small dogs or cats. Unfortunately, I was involved in the fatal injury of a small dog, in partnership with another dog, when a gate was left open at my foster home and got myself into some very serious legal trouble. I would ideally move out of my municipality ASAP as I am required to be muzzled any time I am outside here and am not permitted to go on walks, and that is no way to live long-term 
I should be muzzled on walks now regardless of where I live as a precaution, but I am fine with that!
I wish someone would look past my flaws and give me a chance! I know I am a good boy in the right hands and environment. Even before my incident, no one gave me a chance. That makes me so sad, as I know it will be even harder to find a willing candidate now!
I am neutered, up to date on rabies vaccination and microchipped.

SHADOW
Available for Foster/Adoption
Name: Shadow
Breed: Siberian Husky x Alaskan Malamute
Sex: Male
Age: 9 years
Cats: No
Dogs: Selective
Kids: No
Hi there, I’m Shadow and I am about 9 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 am a very easy boy in a lot of ways, but I so have some strange triggers that make me need someone experienced. Within my foster home that I had for 2 years, I grew immensely. We 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. The same applies to brooms, vacuums, lint rollers, etc.
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. I can be quite reactive on the leash with other dogs and need a pet-free home please. I do seem to love all people and will greet everyone as a friend. I enjoy being petted. I do not, however, appreciate being approached by children when I am in my crate. 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. However, due to my odd triggers, I need a child-free home please! I can also get a bit agitated if I need something and it isn’t immediately available to me, such as potty and dinner time.
I know my basic obedience commands and am excellent at waving to you to get your attention. 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 am a sweet boy; you just need to work around my quirks and understand me. How am I still in rescue after over 3 years?! I had the same foster for 2 years, an adopter for a week, and am now in boarding. I was too dog-reactive and strong on the leash for my adopter and pulled him down, injuring his knee. I am not a huge fan of grooming and will get snappy during the drying process, so please make sure my groomer is experienced and prepared with a muzzle.
I am neutered and microchipped. I am ready to go home with you!

SPENCER
Available for Foster/Adoption/Sponsor
Name: Spencer
Breed: Siberian Husky mix
Sex: Male
Age: 6.5 years
Cats: No
Dogs: Selective
Kids: No
Hi there, I’m Spencer and I am about 6.5 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. It is extremely important to never fully trust me though, even though I am sweet and want your affection. 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 a couple 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 and lunged at every human that has approached my kennel. When I am outside of my kennel, I am a lot less reactive, but have snapped/lunged. 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 children! My meet and greet with humans will be muzzled as well.
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 4.5 years now!
I am neutered and microchipped. I am ready to go home with you!

STORM
Available for Foster/Adoption
Name: Storm
Breed: Siberian Husky mix
Sex: Male
Age: 6.5 years
Cats: No
Dogs: Maybe
Kids: No
Hi there, I’m Storm and I am roughly 6.5 years old. I am seeking an experienced home that understands that I cannot be physically restrained and also resource guarding behaviour. I am not a cuddly “furbaby”, and need someone that understands this and we can have mutual respect.
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 easy 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 of war, especially outside in the snow! Be ready; I don't let go!! I am also ok being outside by myself. I like to howl and will be incredibly loud and reactive to a passing cat, squirrel, etc. I am a really smart dog. I do obey basic obedience commands, and have even learned to sit pretty. 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 am not good for baths/full grooming. My coat is pretty good at shedding out fully on it’s own without intervention.
I tried to see a veterinarian, 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 am absolutely not a fan of restraint of any kind, and am very skeptical of a muzzle coming near my face, especially when you try to do it up! I escalate quickly! Like I said, I am smart! I need more positive associations with the muzzle. Having it hanging on my leash when on walks should help with this. I pull hard on leash, so need more training with this as well. I am a lot better about being leashed now!
I have not been well-socialized with other dogs in the past, and as a result, I would do best without another dog until I am more settled, trained, and we have established a connection.
I am neutered and microchipped. I am ready to go home with you!

TOBI
AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION
Name: Tobi
Breed: Siberian Husky mix
Sex: Male
Age: 8 years
Cats: No
Dogs: Yes
Kids: No
Hey there, I’m the super adorable Tobi! I was born on October 13 2016. I am here seeking a very experienced forever home, so please read carefully. I have been in care for 6.5 years as I have a lot of quirks despite how adorable I am!
When I am out in public with foster mom, I am always wearing my basket muzzle. When I am in my muzzle in public, I love to receive all sorts of affection, belly rubs, and cuddles. I feel secure and safe in my muzzle, however when I am not muzzled, I am know I am not trustworthy and I make poor decisions.
I have a 2-time bite history that required stitches over rough handling and restraint. However, that’s just the tip of the iceberg. I am quite an interesting boy and my new person will need to learn my cues and listen to rescue advice on how to best handle me in different situations. I am very hard to read behaviour-wise, and I am a protector. Once I form a bond with my person, that person will never have to fear wrong-doing from anyone so long as I am with my person.
I know my basic obedience commands such as sit, down and come and I enjoy doing obedience with my foster mom. However, I can get a bit too worked up during our training sessions and get into a state where I need to be shut down or redirected before I escalate to a bite.
I am dog-friendly with most dogs, but some dogs just rub me the wrong way. A meet and greet will be required before I can go home with you for many reasons. Maybe even several meet and greets depending on how the first one goes. Any parties interested in me MUST be receptive to advice and be gentle with me as I do NOT respond well to reprimand or raised voices at all!
I have SEVERE resource guarding and my human absolutely MUST have experience with this and know how to safely redirect me to avoid serious issues. Foster mom has had me 6.5 years, and is still very nervous when I guard something randomly. I don’t think I will ever learn that I do not need to guard. It is just something that has to be managed.
I am neutered and microchipped. I am ready to go home with you!
