Meet Melvin! Melvin recently joined our rescue and is currently staying at Windswept Kennels, waiting for a foster or forever home! Rescued from a farm in Wendell, ID, Melvin is one of nine puppies. On January 5, 2024, six of the puppies were trapped, including Melvin, Blackie, Bright Eyes, Larry, Glenda, and Bliss. Their mother is an all-white husky, and their father is unknown, possibly a German Shepherd. Adoption fees cover spay/neuter, microchip, rabies vaccine, current vaccinations, and a starter kit of supplies (when available). About Shepskies (Shepherd-Husky Mix) Shepskies combine the best traits of German Shepherds and Siberian Huskies, making them loving, intelligent, and protective companions. Family Dogs: They’re gentle and protective, great for families with proper training. Always supervise interactions with young children. Training Needs: These working dogs are loyal but can be stubborn. A firm, consistent leader helps them thrive. Size: Typically 20–25 inches tall and 45–88 pounds. Personality & Care Shepskies are active, playful, and full of energy. They thrive with regular long walks, hikes, and engaging play sessions. Without sufficient activity or companionship, they may develop separation anxiety or destructive behaviors. Socialization: Early exposure to other pets and people is key. Huskies can have a strong prey drive, so supervision around small animals is important. Grooming: Brush regularly, clean eyes and ears as needed, and trim nails monthly. Watch for signs of infection, like redness or odor in the ears. Shepskies are vocal, especially when bored or left alone for long periods. They prefer living indoors with their families but love spending time outdoors. Breed Disclaimer The listed breed(s) are based on appearance and volunteer experience with similar dogs.

INTRODUCING ARES!🐾 Ares is a 2 year old registered pure bred Siberian Husky that is ready to find his “furever” home! NO CATS OR LIVESTOCK, ESPECIALLY CHICKENS! Ares seems to do well with the female dogs in the foster home, but does not play nice (at least through the barriers) with the male dogs in the home. He is very well behaved otherwise. He sits for treats and takes them gently, lets you know when he needs to go outside for potty, and loves belly rubs. He has done well with the dog respectful kids in the home, but he is quite big, so would recommend older kids. He loves to play with a ball, and just wants to play. He is really good about going into his kennel, although he will tell you how much he dislikes it. If you are interested in Ares please send PAWS Rescue inc a message! His adoption fee is $300 and includes his neuter, vaccinations and microchip. Thank you Kelsee and Josh Gabel for fostering this beautiful guy! Thank you to “Marked in Time” Photography for this stunning pic of Ares.❤️

Loki was born May 20th of 2017. I adopted him from a family of Husky breeders locally, unfortunately they did not have the certificate to prove he's pure breed. He's been super friendly with my family, other kids that come visit, as well as other dogs. He is very shy around new people, especially males. After a few weeks, he warms up to you though if you give him enough attention. If he's out of water, he will bring his bowl to you. He is leash trained but I do not recommend letting him off his leash unless he is comfortable with you. I have been unable to give him the attention he needs. He is usually at home for 10-12 hours with no one to let him out so by the time I get home, he is in high energy mode until about midnight. When I did live with someone who would let him out throughout the day, he was really good about going to bed when everyone else did. He super sweet, but high energy. Please know that Huskies are high maintenance dogs and not for the faint of heart.

Everest Junie, affectionately known as “EJ,” has come such a long way in her journey and is now thriving in a loving foster home with two other dogs. This special girl is resilient, loyal, and incredibly sweet. She’s about 1 year old, weighs 40 pounds, and is believed to be a Husky mix, although in rescue exact age and breed are unknown and cannot be guaranteed. WATCH EJ's sweetness! https://youtu.be/t1duDI4IOx0 EJ is fully potty trained and crate trained, making her an easy addition to a new home. She loves her foster doggie siblings and will need a home with at least one other dog, as they are her biggest source of comfort and confidence. When she’s feeling anxious, EJ has the cutest habit of sitting on top of her doggy friends to feel safe. Playing in the backyard, she’s full of silly energy and moves like a baby fox (and kind of looks like one too)! EJ’s perfect home has a fenced yard, at least one other dog, and a calm and patient environment where she can truly blossom. EJ has made amazing progress with her confidence and now seeks out love and attention from her people. She will need a family who understands that she’s still learning to trust and might need a little extra decompression time in her new home. After all, EJ was found on the streets with her mom, begging at a restaurant for pizza. She has grown tremendously in her time at the rescue and now with her foster family, where has learned the comforts of a soft bed, ice cream and beef jerky, and squeaky toys. She is extremely food motivated and will happily do most anything for a treat. She is also a total cuddle bug and loves crawling into bed with her humans for some snuggling. She adores pets on the face, neck, and tummy, and has the cutest yawn “reflex” when her head is rubbed. At the rescue, she has spent time with children as young as 3. She did well with these dog-savvy and respectful little ones. If you’re looking for a sweet, quirky, and loyal companion, EJ might just be the perfect addition to your pack. She’s ready to find her forever family and share all the love she has to give. We are willing to test EJ with anything you need us to in order to ensure she’s the perfect match for you. If you have any questions about her, her situation or her needs, please reach out to her adoption coordinator, who would be thrilled to have a discussion with you about this beautiful girl. Our behavior team is also ready to have an in-depth discussion about EJ’s behavioral needs with her forever family. Please email jessicak@threelittlepittiesrescue.org with any questions.

Porsha is a beautiful 5 mo old mixed-breed puppy (possibly a German Shepherd mix) weighing 13.4 lbs. She is available for foster-to-adopt through PAWS Rescue Inc. (Foster-to-adopt means you’ll foster Porsha until her vetting is complete, then fill out an adoption application to officially adopt her. You must be located between Idaho Falls and Boise to use our vet clinics.) Porsha is a sweet snuggle bug who loves crinkly toys and enjoys playing in the yard on sunny days. She’s making great progress with potty training and is learning to ring a bell at the door when she needs to go out. She’s also kennel-trained and loves car rides, always ready to be your trusty co-pilot while safely strapped in her dog seatbelt. She’s a quick learner and already knows how to sit on command, especially when treats are involved! At mealtime, Porsha will patiently sit by her bowl and wait until her food is served. She’s also getting the hang of walking with a harness and doing well on her walks. However, she prefers to be fed separately, as she thinks all the food belongs to her! As with most puppies, chew toys are essential for Porsha, and she’s easily redirected when given a new option. A fenced yard is a must to give her plenty of space to run and play. Porsha does great with other dogs, cars, ducks, babies, and children. If you’re looking for an energetic, loving pup to join your family, Porsha might just be the perfect match! Her adoption fee is $350 and payable when approved to foster to adopt. This will include her vaccines, dewormers, spay and microchip. Please reach out to PAWS for an app and to chat with her foster mom, Mindie B. — in Pocatello, ID.

COMET is a typical sweet, smart, young (1 to 3 years old), ~90 lbs malamute/husky who entered a local rural shelter during the 4th of July overflow where he was undoubtedly very scared. He is housetrained, he rides well in a car or truck, does not counter surf or get into trash, and stays off of furniture and bed unless invited. He is well mannered. He waits patiently for his food. COMET walks great on a leash and seems to know about heel speed. COMET loves to talk and loves the snow and mountains. Comet wants to play but recently after another dog attacked him and injured his face and paw (requiring a drain and stitches) he is reserved and dog-selective. At this time, he does not appear to enjoy the company of all dogs (this may resolve itself given a little time), but for now, he should be the only dog. BACKGROUND: COMET was rescued from a local, rural shelter that became over-crowded. \ "COMET is a typical sweet, smart, young (1.5 year old), ~90 lbs malamute/husky who entered a local rural shelter during the 4th of July overflow where he was undoubtedly very scared.

He has been in play groups with other dogs in boarding since the description that was written shortly after the attack. Additional Behavior Details Gets Along with Dogs Unsure Gets Along with Cats Unsure Gets Along with Kids Unsure Housetrained Yes Needs Experienced Adopter? While it says unsure regarding getting along with dogs it was believed it was mainly due to the attack, prior to the attack he was getting along with dogs, and currently he is in play groups with other dogs. Erroring on the side of caution it will be left as unsure until formally tested. He did not chase cats on walks and ignored them he was more focused on the walk. I have no idea if he is good with kids but I have not heard anything contrary. I do not know if he has been exposed to kids other than in passing. https://photos.app.goo.gl/Lsc3ZxBeaVEe8Dd96
