Husky puppies and dogs in Culpeper, Virginia

Introducing the wonderful Miska, a 1-2-year-old female husky mix rescued from the shelter's euthanasia list. Although Miska was initially heartworm positive, she has undergone treatment and is now fully vaccinated, spayed, microchipped, and ready for a fresh start. While Miska remains a bit timid, she is making strides each day towards overcoming her past. It's apparent that she experienced abandonment and lacked the socialization she needed during her puppyhood. Despite her early challenges, Miska is dog-friendly and would thrive in a family environment filled with love, patience, and understanding. Miska deserves the opportunity to find happiness and have a family to call her own. She is currently adapting well in her temporary foster care, but she longs for a permanent home. Consider welcoming Miska into your family in 2023, and be part of her journey to a brighter and happier future.

Ember came from the Louisa County Animal Shelter, we have had him for about 6-7 months. He is a super sweet playful boy, but is extremely unpredictable with other dogs. The pictures are from when he first came home. I have done training with him, but he is still can not be trusted with other dogs. He is absolutely wonderful in all other aspect's. He is just true to form with his breed in being very territorial. As a trainer, I feel very strongly that he need to be an only dog. Please feel free to reach out to me if you would like to come and meet him.

MaRishka... MaRishka came into the rescue while she was still in the womb of her mama, Mama-ishka! A good samaritan reached out to us to help Mama. She was a regular stray in the neighborhood especially after her owners up and left her behind. They moved and didn't bother to take her with them. MaRishka is the only deep auburn fur baby of her litter. And she is the only female pup that has the MOST STRIKING BLUE EYES of her litter. She is adorable, sweet, and loves to give kisses. She is at times quiet within the five puppies in her litter. She will sit back and watch everything around her. She is a smart girl! Of the four girls pups, she is the biggest one. MaRishka has taken to learning her puppy lessons from her mama very well. Mama-ishka has taught the kids that you don't pee/poo in your bed area nor near your food. She is also being potty trained. She will wake up and quickly make her way to the backyard door. She will even wake up from her naps and cry out to let us know she has to pee. She is a FAST learner! But, considering her young age she will need continued training to help her be the best pup that she can be. She's at the perfect age to introduce into any home! MaRishka is being kennel trained as well and is being taught that there is a schedule. Wake up time for pee/poo/play and breakfast is at 7:30am. She plays with her sister and a few other dogs until 8am. Then there is a nap from 8:30-10am. Another pee/poo/play from 10-11am with a few of the adult dogs. MaRishka is a happy girl that likes to be around dogs that are on the lower to medium energy side. Another nap from 11-1pm. And then another chance to go outside with the younger pups. At times, she has decided that she would rather sleep and cuddle inside during that time. She is overall a low to medium energy pup. She is up and about again at 6pm for play/pee/poo and dinner at 6:30pm. Another nap time at 8:30pm. Last chance for pee and poo is 10-11pm. She falls asleep by 11pm. Ready to repeat again the following day! This little girl is such a HUGE LOVE BUG!!! She does love to be petted, held, cuddled, etc. She will happily look at you with her big GORGEOUS BLUE eyes and give you a big wet kiss! Her gaze will melt your heart!!! MaRishka is ready to learn, love, and live with her family. Are you ready to have a fun and happy pup as a member of your family? All of MaRishka's vetting has been done by my personal dogs' vet. The following is a list of what has been done for her... Spayed All 4 - DA2PP shots (Distemper, Adenovirus Type 2 (Hepatitis), Parvo, and Parainfluenza) Bordatella shot Bordatella booster - 6 months Rabies shot Dewormed Tested, Treated (if needed), and retested for giardia and coccidia Heartworm NEGATIVE Iverhart heartworm preventative Simparica fleas and ticks preventative Chipped There are two categories of vaccines: “core” vaccines that are recommended for all pets, and “non-core vaccines” which may be recommended by your vet based on lifestyle and exposure risk. The core vaccine for dogs is the Rabies vaccine, which is required by law. The second core vaccine for dogs is often referred to as the DA2PP or DHPP vaccine. This stands for “Distemper, Adenovirus Type 2 (Hepatitis), Parvo, and Parainfluenza”, meaning that this vaccine protects against FOUR different diseases. It is especially important for puppies to begin a series of DA2PP vaccines at six to eight weeks of age, as natural immunity obtained from the mother decreases and puppies become very susceptible to potentially life-threatening diseases such as Canine Parvovirus (Parvo). Parvo is transmitted through feces and can remain in the environment for at least one month, and up to a year if the conditions are right. This means that puppies do not need to be directly exposed to another dog that has Parvo in order to contract the disease, and caution is advised when choosing where and how to socialize and exercise your pup. We recommend avoiding exposure to unknown dogs or public places until your puppy has finished their vaccine series. BUT, all A.M.O.R. puppies (1 year old and less) have all FOUR shots. They are safe to join you and your family on your outdoor adventures and you can rest at ease. Non-core vaccines for dogs include Bordetella, Influenza, Leptospirosis and Lyme. The Bordetella (aka: Kennel Cough) help to prevent highly-contagious respiratory diseases, and are essential for dogs that may be exposed to other dogs, especially in group settings such as dog parks, daycare, or boarding facilities. All A.M.O.R. dogs and puppies are given a Bordatella vaccine. Bordatella boosters are given every 6 months. https://www.thedrakecenter.com/services/dogs/parasites/deworming-dogs The above link is to provide you information regarding why deworming is so important for all dogs of all ages (and for their families). All A.M.O.R.s are dewormed upon entering the rescue and then again 5 days before their health certificate visit (when they have been adopted and ready to travel). This dewormer is issued per our vet. And all pets are tested, treated (if needed), and retested for coccidia and giardia. A.M.O.R. provides you with this information so that you can be aware of the work and love that is given to each pet. Each puppy has visited the vet AT LEAST 5 times during their stay with us. They have seen the vet 4 times for their shots and will see the vet 1-2 more times prior to transport in order to obtain a health certificate for travel. Adult dogs have seen the vet AT LEAST 3 times. Two visits for their shots and 1-2 visits prior to transport in order to obtain a health certificate. Are you ready to have a lifetime of fun with MaRishka??? All animals receive a health certificate (stating that a licensed veterinarian saw the pet and deemed it healthy for travel, but is not a promise of perfect health). Please email for an A.M.O.R. application in order to be considered. Please note: this pet is located out of state.
