PORTIA - SIBERIAN HUSKY (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Siberian Husky (medium coat). .huskyrescueteam If you have additional questions please email infohuskyrescueteam We first learned about Portia when a post popped up in our local lost & found group: a young Husky was trying her best to get into the neighborhood Aquatic Center. This sweet girl clearly knew she needed help, and thanks to some kind neighbors, she was safely contained and brought to Animal Control. When no owner came for her, we did. Portia is not quite a year old and came to us far too skinny, but she’s already putting on healthy weight and her coat is transforming beautifully. She’s a sweet, silly, food‑motivated girl who can be a little shy at first, but it doesn’t take long before she’s leaning in for affection. Portia enjoys playing with other dogs—male or female—but she is a dominant female. She’ll thrive in a home where any resident dog won’t challenge her, or she’d be perfectly happy as an only dog. Because she’s sensitive to a lot of over-activity, we’re recommending a home that doesn't have young children. Too much commotion can overwhelm her. When left alone, Portia is a dream. She self‑entertains, snoozes, or happily works on her Benebones. She’s fully housebroken, does well in a kennel, and isn’t destructive. She’s not a fan of having her paws wiped and will hop around like a little kangaroo to avoid it, but she ultimately tolerates all handling. Her biggest hurdle right now is her fear of passing cars on walks. For that reason, her ideal home would have a yard for her to enjoy or quiet walking trails that aren’t right next to busy roads. This sweet girl is ready to be someone’s loyal companion. She saved herself once—now she’s hoping someone will choose her forever. Portia is located in Maryland. A meet‑and‑greet is recommended for applicants who already have dogs in the home. Her adoption area is NJ, DE, PA, MD, VA - nearby states to these considered on a case by case basis.

We do not have a facility in which you can visit. We find this a huge benefit because we learn our dogs and are able to educate our adopters on what it’s like to have them live in your home. Part of our process, once pre-approved, is to speak with the foster for the dog you’re interested in. If you’re still interested in adopting from our rescue the first step is to complete our adoption application online at .huskyrescueteam/apply If you have additional questions please email infohuskyrescueteam
