Description
Dog Breed: Husky (medium coat). Hi! I'm Sharkira! A name so nice you say it twice! I am a beautiful husky, with a glowing personality and a heart of gold. I'm gentle by nature - I think soft snuffles, patient paw holding, and the occaional soul searching stare. That being said I am also a certified goodball! I do zoomies like its my job, make weird noises just to keep my humans on their toes. I love treats, talking back when no one asked, and making new friends. I love other dogs and would make a great playmate. Besides that, I am unfortunately positive for heartworms. With the proper treatment, I can become heartworm free, but will need to be on a heartworm preventative long term. I will also need to be brought back to the shelter to undergo the treatments. This will be of no cost to you, and is fully covered by our generous Angel Fund! I will need a vet reference at the time of my adoption. Staff can answer any questions you may have regarding this. FWACC reserves the right to place me in my best fit home and will require a vet reference.

Siberian Husky
A.K.A.: Husky, Arctic Husky, Chukcha, Chukchi, Chukchi Sled Dog, Sibe, Sibes, Sled Dog, Snow Dog
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.
