Story
He's a very active dog that loves to cuddle, we have been fostering him and looking for a forever home for him. He does well on a lead and knows basic commands, his previous owner did not like him, and he doesn't get on well with other animals. He is a siberian husky and as such is an escape artist, he has a 4ft vertical, will push through flimsy gates, and will wake you up at feeding time with the song of his people. He's a good boy and we hope he fits in well in your home. I have personally covered all his medical expenses and ensured he is fully up to date on shots. He is on Nutri-Source Large Breed Trout due to some sensitivity to chicken and beef.

Story
Wrangell is a high energy dog that we rescued about 6 years ago. We believe he is about 7 years old. He is house and crate trained. Still has anxiety issues when left alone and will chew on rugs and other soft things when left home out of the crate. He is also an escape artist. He loves to run! At the end of the day he is a very snuggly dog and loves nothing more to curl up in your feet. Does well with other dogs. Does well with kids, but he would prefer they be older than 3. Loves to chew on dog bones, not much for playing fetch or swimming. Wrangell is originally from Texas, loves the heat and tolerates the cold. Every once in a while he will enjoy jumping through fresh powder.

Story
Tig is a very friendly people dog but does not do well with other dogs. A very smart high energy dog who can be a goof ball at times. Tig loves to be outside and does great in the winter months. Some fixable issues with being territorial when it comes to toys but pretty normal stuff. As far as his behavior with other dogs, he initially did not have any issues until we got a new puppy which was fine at first and then things deteriorated so we found the puppy a new home. Tog does not have any natural aggression but after face to fave with another dog he usually becomes agitated. Tig typically does not pay much attention to other dogs when on a leash and outside.

Silver, is a spayed female Siberian Husky. She was rescued by my friend Jim along with her brother Vulcan about 6 years ago. Both have been raised outdoors but in warm dog igloos. See additional post on Vulcan. Silver is very friendly with people and other dogs. She is about seven years old and was spayed and given rabies shot one year ago. She is also chipped. Current owner has medical issues and is not able to care for her any longer but loves her dearly. He is looking for a kind family for her and her brother Vulcan to grow old with but is open to separate adoptions.
