Reese is a very goofy dog. If you scratch her neck she snorts and if you scratch her butt she does a little dance. She loves playing fetch (and loves it better if you kick the ball!) Every day she selects a favorite ball and carries it around with her. She also loves playing in water and chasing bubbles. She is very calm on walks, happy to walk with you without pulling and loves to turn around and check in often (especially if you have treats.) She likes to play with other dogs, and has been around cats. She is happy to sleep in a crate, though if you let her she'll probably try to sleep on top of it! She does "sit," "lay down," and "leave it" very well. She is very smart and enjoys games and puzzle toys. She is very athletic and would make a great hiking partner. She likes going to dog-friendly patios.

More about this rescue
Siberian Husky Rescue of New Mexico is an all volunteer, 501 (c)(3) rescue organization devoted to rescuing, rehabilitating, and finding new, permanent, loving homes for Siberian Huskies, and often, husky mixes that have ended up neglected, abused, or unwanted.
The organization began in late 1998 when a red Siberian Husky that was not expected to live much longer due to her injuries was saved from a local shelter by the organization’s founder. Over time, as Cinnamon recovered from her injuries, she not only survived but thrived, proving to be a Christmas miracle! Thus was born our motto “Saving Siberians, one life at a time.” From those humble beginnings, many more huskies found their way to the organization, where people across NM volunteered their time, opened their homes, and donated funds to support this cause-for the love of the Siberian Husky.
We are a small rescue, and our dogs reside at either our homes or foster homes until we make a match with an adopting person or family. All of our dogs are spayed or neutered to prevent additional unwanted litters and are given proper veterinary attention and microchipped. The dogs are usually socialized with other dogs so we can determine how they will react around other dogs and humans. Ensuring good nutrition is also part of the dog’s physical healing.
Since Siberians, and most dogs in general, are pack animals, we tend to place most of our dogs with another companion dog or with people who have more time at home. We try to avoid situations where the dog is left alone in the backyard for long periods of time while owners work. Also, as a general rule, Siberians don’t do well in small yards or apartments, as they tend to be active, working dogs with a long history of pulling sleds or “working for a living.” There are always exceptions as each dog is unique. Over time, we have seen almost all of our dogs go to some really great homes! Our mission is truly…"Saving Siberians, One Life at a Time.”
