Description
Dog Breed: Husky (short coat). Betty (A140716) is a 1-year-10-month-old husky mix who weighed nearly 50 lbs at intake! 12/27/25 This sweet girl is Betty! Betty was brought to the shelter because she can be a picky eater, which can pose a problem for a sled dog, especially in colder temps. Betty was described as being an outgoing and friendly girl who gets along with humans of all ages. She can be hyper around kiddos though, so keep this in mind if you have little ones at home. Betty does not like other female dogs. She was said to do fine with males. She is a young dog, and her spay may help with this behavior. However, caution should be taken if planning to introduce her to any other dogs. She does not have experience with any other animals, including cats or livestock. Betty is harness broken and used to running in a dog team. She would do great in an active home that may let her run on a rec team or skijor/canicross and then relax and cuddle up inside. Miss Betty does not have much experience riding in cars, and she did get carsick on her way to the shelter. She is said to be kennel trained, but she needs help with mastering potty training. She has also been known to jump on people, so she may need some help with her manners. If you are interested in meeting Miss Betty, please give us a call!

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.
