Description
Dog Breed: Husky (short coat). Shaka (A140715) is a 1-year-10-month-old husky mix who weighed almost 50 lbs at intake! 12/27/25 This sweet girl with the big smile is Shaka! Shaka was brought to the shelter because she can be a picky eater, which did not jive well with the sled dog life. Shaka was described as a very sweet dog who gets along with other dogs and humans of all ages. She can be hyper around little ones though, so keep this in mind if you have small kids in the home. Shaka has lived outside her entire life, so she needs some help with potty training. She was said to be kennel trained. She has been known to jump on people, so she may need some help with her manners. Shaka would do best in an active home that may want to run her in a rec team or skijor/canicross with her and then let her cuddle up on the couch! If you are interested in adding some aloha to your life, give us a call and ask about Shaka!

Overview:
The Siberian Husky is a striking and beloved breed, originating from Northeast Asia where they were bred by the Chukchi people for pulling sleds over long distances in harsh conditions. Physically, they are easily recognizable by their medium size, thick double coat (available in various colors and markings), and often captivating blue or bi-colored eyes. Their temperament is typically friendly, outgoing, and playful, making them generally good with children and other dogs. However, their independent and sometimes stubborn nature, coupled with a strong prey drive, means consistent training and secure containment are essential. While affectionate, their high energy levels and need for significant exercise make them less suitable for sedentary lifestyles or tiny apartments; a house with a securely fenced yard is often preferred. Health-wise, they are generally robust but can be prone to certain conditions like hip and elbow dysplasia and eye problems such as cataracts and progressive retinal atrophy. Overall, a Siberian Husky thrives with active families committed to meeting their exercise and mental stimulation needs.
