Siberian Husky Rescue/Referral of California

Male, 11 years old, Black and White, Brown eyes

"Nikota" -- "Niko" is a beautiful, older Siberian Husky boy whom I've been fostering for
a few months. He arrived in rather bad condition, needing good medical
care, good food and love. He was originally diagnosed with thyroid
problems, but a subsequent exam from my personal vet determined that he was
fine and didn't need the medicine. (He's doing great without it, and shows
more personality every day.) He loves going for walks, and so far has hiked
up to 4 miles with no problems, so he'd love to help you with your exercise
program. I've listed his color as black and white, but he actually has
beautiful brown highlights that go well with his beautiful brown eyes. He
gets along with my older female as long as I keep them separated while food
is being prepared, so maybe he'd be best off as an only dog, but he is
settling in to our 2-dog routine quite well now. He goes into his crate on
command, a very valuable trait, and is generally a very sweet dog!

He will pull on lead so training is needed.He is a quick learning. Hershey knows how to give his paw, sit and lay down. He does get along with medium to large dogs, but not sure about cats. Hershey is housebroken and learning how crating can be his doggie condo.

"Juno" -- Hello, my name is Juno. I love to cuddle, cuddle and cuddle some more. I love signing with the fire trucks and anything that has a whaling siren. I am crate trained but really don't like it, I would rather leep on the bed with you and keep you warm. No it has not thing to do with me, it is all about you. I love playing with my foster brothers and sisters. My foster parents cannot believe how soft my fur is so they pet me all the time. They like it so I let then, all they want. ;-) I am looking forward to meeting my new people, could it be you??

Male, 3 years old, Red and White, Blue eyes

"Micky" -- Meet Micky blue eyes!! A gorgeous red and white Husky male that's approximately 3 years old. This young boy is full of energy and can't stop moving. He would make a great companion on your walks or runs and will even give you that extra encouragement to just keep on going! He gets in and out of a car with ease so he's ready to hit the road for an outing. Micky loves toys, treats and chews and will give you his undivided attention anytime you have one of these. He can however be a little possessive in claiming his favorites and it will take some extra convincing to tell him otherwise. Micky is a quick learner and can follow commands after a few repetitions (and treats will definitely elevate his learning curve). He enjoys playing (Husky style) with other large dogs, chases smaller dogs and hates to leave the dog park.
So adopt this head-turning Husky today!

Female, 17 months old, White, Blue eyes

"Snowflake" -- Snowflake is a young 1-1.5 year old female husky with piercing blue eyes and brilliant white fur that is oh so soft. She is friendly and seems to like being petted. She can be a bit of a drama queen, like most huskies. She may or may not be hard of hearing so she startles if you sneak up on her, but she quickly adapts to the new situation and it doesn't slow her down one bit. Her beauty and great personality shine and you can tell within minutes of meeting her that this dog is something special.

"Lucy" -- Meet Lucy, one of Norsled's newest rescues. Lucy is a 9 month old husky/something or 2 mix who was just rescued from the Yolo County Animal shelter. Lucy is very sweet and eager to please. She has not received much training but is very eager to please.
She is friendly with all the dogs she has met so far and wants to play. Lucy most likely was not taken out much and everything startles her but she is not fearful just surprised. We will know more in the days to come. Lucy has received all her vaccinations but needs to be spayed and then is ready for her forever home. She will make someone a wonderful pet.

Male, 3 years old, Black and White, Brown eyes

"Sarkii" -- HI,
My name is Sarkii and I was rescued from the Fairfield correction facility today. Although I have a long standing record with them, I am trying to change. My first visit was in Oct 2009. Although the food was not the best, I did enjoy the company of others. By my fifth visit, I was on a first name basis with all the staff and they had my owner's phone number on speed dial. In the last few month, I have taken myself back several times. OK four times in two months. After my last visit, my humans did not come and get me.
After thirty days in the slammer, I am trying to change, but need help. I need a home where someone will spend time with me. I really am liking my foster home because I have three brothers to play with. We play chase in and out of the house until Dad says "Enough" and then he locks us outside. We still play chase until we all fall down.
I do need to learn some social skills. Kind of marked on Dad's bed and he was not real happy with me, but I am learning.
I love going for walks and do not pull on the lead, or at least that is what I was told.
I have all my shots but go the the vet on Friday morning. Someone said I needed to be fixed, but that will be next week.
I am looking a someone to call my own, who will spend time with me and not keep me in the backyard all the time. So, please fill out an application and come and get me.

Male, age unknown, White, Brown eyes

"Sandy" -- Sandy is a 6 month old ball of energy. He has a malformed right front paw that doesn't slow him down a bit. But it may have caused his breeder to dump him in the night drop box a an area shelter. There he caught parvo, but luckily responded to treatment and was back in play mode within a week. Sandy is living with 3 other dogs and gets along well with them all. He also seems to do well with small children, although he occasionally still does the puppy nibbles. Sandy is up to date on all of his shots, micro chipped and already neutered. If you are interested in hearing more about him, please contact Judy at jhome2533@aol.com or 925 788-5025.

Male, 2 years 0 months old, Black and White, Brown eyes

"Diesel" -- Diesel was born on Mother's Day, 2010, so he is now about 1 year and 9 months. He is a breathtaking malberian, sized in between, and in many ways is still a puppy. His adoring owner had to give him up after losing his home to foreclosure, so Diesel is a bit confused, and wondering why he lost his home and his human...but soooooo sweet! He has some basic training, is well behaved, walks pretty well on leash; but your walks with him may be slow, as everyone who passes will have to stop and admire him! His happy sound is a growl (some Northern dogs do this!), and did I mention that he's cute? He seems to love everyone and pretty much every dog (no cats or tiny pets, please). If you live an active lifestyle and want a running buddy and someone to watch TV with later, Diesel is also a good cuddler. He is now neutered, up to date on all his shots, heartworm negative and on preventative, and microchipped.
Please fill out an adoption questionnaire or email rescue@norsled.org for more information.

"Stealth" -- Stealth is a handsome young gentleman between 2-3 years old. He has beautiful brown eyes and is such a sweet boy. He is of medium build and like all huskies, very strong. He gets along well with other dogs and with kids. He loves to be around humans and would do well with someone who hikes, runs or just likes to go for walks. Stealth is up to date on all shots, heartworm negative, neutered and micro chipped. So he is ready to go that special home with some lucky person!

Female, 2 years 0 months old, Tan and White, Brown eyes

"Phoenix" -- Phonix is a young sweethart - maybe a year. We think her owners did not know you do not shave huskies, and shaved her for the summer. Since it has not gotten cold, her fur has not grown back in. We did have her tested to see if there was anything else wrong with her skin, and she came up with a clean bill of health. She is currently living in a foster home with another female dog -and they play all the time!

Male, 3 years old, Black and White, Brown eyes

"Luca" -- Luca is a 2-3 year old male Malamute. He came to us from the Stockton shelter extremely emaciated from his time as a stray, but has already started to put on weight. He is a very sweet boy who loves all people and comes to us looking to be petted all the time. He is very affectionate. He still has a little while left in rescue because he needs to gain enough weight to be neutered, and after that he can be placed with his forever family. He is negative for heartworm and other parasites. He does have some food issues (doesn't like any other dogs near him when eating, will try to steal food from other dogs) and will readily put his giant paws up on the counter and steal your pizza, your croissant, or an entire loaf of bread. This may or may not subside when he realizes he has a home and will never be starving on the streets again, we don't know for sure. We are constantly surprised at how good this dog is (besides stealing food- we have learned to never give him an opportunity to do so, and it is important his future family understand that as well), he doesn't chew on any non-food items, doesn't bark much at all, is housebroken, is wonderfully crate trained, and loves people so much.

"O,brien" -- O'Brien - Meet O'brien, one of the hansomest, party eyed pups you will ever meet! Sweet, friendly, road well in the car, tolerated his first bath quite well. Very friendly boy - likes his treats! Smart - he should learn fast.

Male, 2 years 0 months old, White, Brown eyes

"Milo" -- Milo is a 2 years old Malmamute mix, who still acts like a puppy. He weighs between 85 and 90 lbs. He is mostly white with a few black and golden highlights on his back, head and ears. He is very people oriented: loveable, energetic and enjoys hanging out with his human pack. He is very much an alpha male and can become aggressive around other male dogs. He now lives with three Mini Australian Shephards, and has become too much dog for them. I think he would do fine with a large breed female or by himself, if the new owners were able to give him enough time, strong guidance and lots of exercise.

Milo needs plenty of outdoor space. Since he is a master escape artist, a six to seven foot fenced yard is needed. He is extremely intelligent, learns quickly but often acts as his heart desires. Milo has not encountered many cats but we would recommend a cat free home. Milo’s personality is one and a million but with strong guidance and training he will develop into a stunning adult male.

For more information on Milo, please call Janet at 925-330-7121.

Female, 2 years 0 months old, Grey and White, Bi-Eyed eyes

"Sitka" -- Sitka came into Tracy Animal Care Services on 10/21 as a stay and within 24 hours presented her foster mom with 8 new puppies (all of which have now been adopted). Sitka is now watching as Foxxy, another foster dog, care for her 7 new puppies while plays with the resident female dog and newest male foster. She definitely needs some additional weight, but is housetrained, quiet, rides well in the car and knows when not to get on the furniture. She's probably 2-3 years old, has one blue and one brown eye and although will growl at new dogs she's meet, isn't prone to a fight and calls off quickly by her human. To date, she has accepted two females and one male after a few hours and now is an active family member. Like all NorSled dogs, Sitka is spayed, current on her shots, dewormed, tested negative for heartworm and microchipped. For more information on how to adopt Sitka or foster a dog like her, contact ofkiltr@att.net or call 530-701-6711.

Male, 2 years 0 months old, Black and White, Brown eyes

"Beau" -- Beau is a handsome boy who needs a lot of exercise and companionship. He crates well without any fuss and is good in the car. He seems to get along with other dogs and he does need a little more training. He will make a perfect companion for someone who is energetic and likes to run or take long walkes. As with most huskies, small dogs and cats are a big no no! He is vetted and ready for his new home. Please consider giving this sweet boy a chance at a good life.

For more information on Beau, please email rescue@norsled.org.

Female, 6 years old, Black Tan and White, Bi-Eyed eyes

"Gracie" -- GRACIE - this amazing, extremely intelligent and loving siberian mix girl is about 5-6 years old. She excels in escape artistry - you should see her climb fences, jump over gates and otherwise flex her husky muscles. So she's not a dog for everyone, but if you have northern breed experience and a very contained kennel with a lid, this dog is absolutely unbeatable.

She will kiss and love and play with you endlessly. She's just adorable and ... did we mention how smart she is? of course since she's a husky, no cats, but kids are probably do-able as long as they don't mind being jumped on and full frontal kissed! All said, you have to meet her and you will immediately fall in love despite her "special skill set." She's a favorite with our rescue team but who can blame them. Come and meet Gracie - with her bi-eyed beauty and charming smile, she will capture your heart.

Please email rescue@norsled.org for more information.

Please complete this adoption questionnaire and return to the email above if you're interested in this dog.

Male, 2 years 2 months old, Tan and White, Amber eyes

"Sparks" -- Sparks has a bit of husky in him and a lot of shepherd. He has all those great qualities of being quiet, attentive, affectionate, obedient...things that most huskies sadly lack. Good companion dog that desperately wants to be someone's pet.
