Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Husky
Size: Large
Age: Adult
Gender: Male
ID:
Notes: FINNIAS
Age: 1-2 years
Sex: Male
Weight: 80 pounds
Breed: Purebred Husky with Blue Eyes
Activity Level: High
Children: We are happy to test him, but Finnias is very jumpy and would probably not be good with small children.
Dogs: Yes
Cats: Unknown
Housebroken: Unknown
Medical: Neutered, current on shots, HW negative
Notes: PLEASE HELP THIS POOR GUY...HE WAS PULLED FROM A HIGH-KILL SHELTER, BUT IS NOW LIVING IN A KENNEL AT THE VET'S OFFICE UNTIL WE KIND FIND HIM A FOREVER HOME. THIS IS NO KIND OF LIFE FOR A HUSKY!!
We have decided what this boy needs is a home full of rambunctious teenagers or very active adults who will romp around and play with him in the yard. Finnias is a dog that will need a go, go, go lifestyle and always have someone around to pay attention to him. He is a gorgeous boy that has a dark line around his neck from where he was obviously chained his whole life. Who can blame him for never wanting to be tossed aside and neglected ever again? Finnias would do best in a fenced in back yard and will need some work on his leash manners. He will, however, be an exceptionally loyal and wonderful dog to the family who gives this beautiful boy a chance!
Finnias is located at an animal hospital in Memphis, TN because this poor little baby was at an extremely high kill/ high disease shelter in Brighton, TN (close to Memphis). I work up here on the East Coast with a group of women who try to reduce the rate of euthanization at this kill shelter. Prior to rescue help, Tipton put down 80% of the dogs that walked through their doors after just five days. We have had great success placing these precious babies all over the country. Over 200 dogs have been placed in our area and up to New England over the last 6 months and the response has been overwhelming. Many families would happily talk to you about their experience working with us and adopting an "urgent shelter dog."
For many people, adopting a dog sight unseen is a very stressful experience. We can completely appreciate this and do everything in our power to bring these dogs up to foster homes up North. However, this is often not a possibility as we have a number of dogs and so few families willing to foster. We have put an excellent system in place and have wonderful and insightful volunteers in Memphis that are outstanding in determining the personality of each dog and letting us know what kind of family would be the right fit.
