Meet Baby!! She is a 2 year old, 50 pound husky. She is hoping to find her forever home and become a New Englander! Here is her bio-
“Baby, what can I say – I can’t seem to get it down to one page to explain what a great dog she is, Baby is about 2 years old and just over 50 pounds now. Baby showed up as a stray on our property pleading for help this winter. She arrived a bit thin and the tips of her ears were mangled, scabbed and bloody from frostbite. Not surprisingly, she was never claimed. We started her vetting process once the stray hold was completed. She is now spayed and up to date on vaccines, preventions and everything else a dog should have. This sweet girl is housebroken and sleeps happily in our laundry room. We are a retried couple I’m our 80’s, we are “cat people” and have not had a dog in decades. She integrated into our our kitty friendly house hold smoothly. And then stole our hearts completely. She has been introduced to crating and does fine, but is not crated at our house.
She is exceptionally beautiful and tolerates any handling well, including vetting and when we were treating her poor bloody ears. She doesn’t have a mean bone in her body. She alerts at cats but hasn’t chased one even though they will run from her. She lives for belly rubs, pets and “GOOD GIRLS “. Baby likes toys, though she will trade any toy to spend time with her person. She is the kind of dog you want to bury your face into and hug as much as she wants to be hugged. She is a sleep with me, love me, share my life with you dog. She hops right into the car and easily allows us to snap her into the car harness. Baby is so eager to please and very smart!
This young girl needs to be with a somewhat active young person or family. She enjoys lounging but also has a playful somewhat energetic side. She is such a good dog, she pulls a bit too much on leash for a couple in their 80s though she is getting much better with this (I’m due for a knee and hip replacement so there is that). She is not loud or rowdy in the house, very very quiet for a husky. But if a siren goes by, it will inspire her to sing the song of her people. She will bark when she needs to go out.
She’s only been with us for for a relatively short time but she had my heart on day one. Once she is in your home, this cuddle bug will steal your heart too. The south is no place for a husky, thebwesther is too hot most of the year whoch id why she needs to become a New England girl. She is equal amounts a low energy dog for a husky, yet still puppy enough high energy moments (zoomies) and needs a well fenced place to run when the mood strikes. I’m working with her on common commands and she is smart, but can be a bit headstrong. She has learned “don’t pull” and “sit” as well as “load up” to hop into the car. She waits patiently for us to clip her in to the car harness like a champ. She is housebroken, has no health issues. It should be noted that the tips of her ears are covered in scar tissue. That will not change. But she is still stunningly beautiful. At 50 pounds she is strong, so we have been working on the command “don’t pull” which she has picked up on well. When meeting younger folks, they are able to walk her without a problem. She certainly won’t drag you. She’s just too strong for people in their 80s. Her off leash recall within a fenced yard isn’t great so we are working on that using a 30 foot long training lead.
She is non reactive to dogs at the vet and to any dog she has met thus far. She has not yet met a super active, overly playful dog. Honestly, she just isn’t very interested in other dogs. She has been submissive to other dogs. She’s okay being around them but doesn’t really want to sniff them or interact. She’s happy to go on walks with other dogs, has done well with meet and greets at the rescue. She doesn’t seem to be the type to want to play with other dogs, though that may change. We do not have dogs at our home, so her meetings with dogs have been fairly brief. She may be most comfortable as an only dog and have dog walking companions, or in a home with a very quiet dog. She may also continue to blossom and find out the joy of having dog friends to play with.”
