The Siberian Husky is a dog breed that originated from Siberia and was later brought to Nome Alaska for sled-dog racing. They are a medium-sized dog with an average lifespan of around 12 to 15 years. Arlo is a five year old Siberian Husky, he is neutered and heartworm negative.
Kaylee is a granddaughter of one of our partners and works with rescue dogs on a daily basis. She saw a Husky, fell in love with the breed and decided that she really wanted one. Then, late September of 2018, Kaylee asked for a Husky and continued asking for a couple of years. She decided that she had to write a letter to “Santa” at school and asked him to bring her a Husky because her grandmother, Patricia, was not taking her seriously about getting her one:0
What she didn’t know was that grandma Patricia was looking for one and SURPRISE; Santa just happened to let the perfect male Husky show up on her Facebook as an older puppy that wasn’t sold. Patricia contacted the owner and they even kept Arlo until Christmas, Kaylee was really surprised.
Kaylee and Arlo were a good match, she describes him as super sweet! She really loves him and he adores her, however, as the years went on she began to realize that Arlo needed to be a part of a pack; sociability is in the Husky blood of the bred. She realized that she just doesn’t have the adequate time to devote to him daily. She wanted Arlo, to have a better life. She didn’t have time to walk him like he should and saw that he was so bored in when he was in the pen all the time. Not to mention that the summer in Louisiana was unbearable with two months straight of triple digit heat. She had been discussing this for the last several months with Grandma Patricia and made the best decision for Arlo, to find him a home that could give him the life he deserves.
Arlo gets along with all the other dogs and true to his breed, he is good with children, however, a home with no cats would be best! He knows his name well so she hopes the new family will keep his name. He needs a family that is familiar with the breed! Arlo does not have a mean bone in his body, however, true to the breed, he is just hard headed! He is easy to walk on a leash but he is so bored in the pen. He loves the water and cold weather and he will a much better in a home that he is meant to live in!
It takes real love to let a dog go, Kaylee has played, walked, fed and slept with Arlo for five years. She sees other rescue dogs go north and have such a great life and she feels bad that Arlo doesn’t have that kind of life with her in the South. She knows that she must always do what is best for the dog, she does it every day with her grandma’s rescue. She wants him to have a better life, a real Husky life in the snow and a home that would give him more attention.
Arlo gives unconditional love to everyone he meets, he has a charming disposition and a playful manner. Do you have room in your heart for a new best friend? Because Arlo wants nothing more than to share his heart with someone who can appreciate it for what he truly is: SPECIAL
ABOUT THE BREED A Sociable Creature
They are, first and foremost, very loving and gentle dogs, who give a lot of affection and love to receive it.
They’re good with children (though, of course, they should be supervised at all times) and friendly towards strangers. For this reason, I don’t recommend them if you want a guard dog, as they are likely to greet an intruder with a wag of the tail rather than a menacing bark.
Siberian Huskies shouldn’t be left alone for too long (no more than 3 or 4 hours), and they like to live with other dogs.
Needs Tons Of Exercise
Like the Alaskan Husky and the Alaskan Malamute, the Siberian Husky was bred to haul cargo, meaning they are used to doing a lot of activity and are, therefore, very high-energy dogs.
As adults, they need at least 1 hour of vigorous exercise a day. They make an excellent match for someone who is sporty and likes doing activities such as hiking, jogging or running.
Likes Having A Job
It is worth investing in a doggie backpack to fulfill her need to have a job. In these packs, you can store bottles of water to keep you both hydrated on a hike. Carrying this weight will satisfy her instinct to e Ask any Siberian Husky owner, and they’ll tell you all about the amount these dogs can shed.
Needs A Lot Of Maintenance!
Apart from everyday shedding (which is a pretty high amount), these dogs ‘blow out’ their entire undercoat twice a year – in the spring and the fall. That means – yep! Those hairs will be flying around, getting on the carpet, and testing your patience levels. During these times, you should probably just leave the vacuum cleaner where you can see it at all times! Taking him to a groomer at least two times a year will take care of all of that.
Has A Hard Time In The Heat
Like their Alaskan Husky and Alaskan Malamute cousins, these dogs do not do well in the heat. If you live somewhere where the temperature reaches 80 degrees (26ºC) or over, don’t get a Siberian Husky.
They should not be exercised in temperatures above 68 degrees (20ºC). In the summer months, it is better to take them out in the morning and the evening when the temperature is lower.
