Description
Dog Breed: Husky (medium coat). Smarty (A141093) is a 7-month-old AK Husky who weighed 30.5 pounds on intake! 02/05/26 These adorable ladies were surrendered to the shelter and looking for their new homes! They are active little ladies looking for homes that can keep them both mentally and physically stimulated. They may enjoy learning the art of skijoring/bikejoring or even joining a rec dog team! These ladies were reported to be kennel-trained and to ride well in a car. They are still working on potty training and basic commands. We encourage their next owner to bring them to a basic obedience class to continue working on their manners and building their confidence. All three girls were stated to do well with children and strangers but can be shy initially. However, we have seen first-hand that they warm up quickly and enjoy attention! In typical puppy fashion they were stated to be chewers and would appreciate plenty of appropriate toys! If you are interested in meeting Smarty or any of her friends, please let us know!

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.
