Siberian Husky Rescue/Referral of California

Female, 1 years 11 months old, Black Tan and White, Blue eyes

"Laika" -- Laika is a very sweet girl but has her issues. She was adopted by a family member from a shelter. The adoptive mom was warned about Laika having issues with seperaton anxiety and leash aggression. After a couple days with new mom it was clear that Laika was not a good fit. She was incapable of being left alone for moments, without digging at the carpet or door. New mom was so overwhelmed, and being very experienced with dogs an having two of our own, my boyfriend and I decided to give her a temporary home with our pack, in order to work on her issues so she could be in a forever home!

Currently we are working on crate training and it is going very well. She sleeps in it calmly when we are in the room and stays in it while we are at work. As she is true to her breed, she can escape from it so we seal it up with zip ties. We have been successful in leaving her to free roam the house with the dogs, while we are both gone, for an hour (after vigorous exercise) without any damage done. Longer than that or without a trip to the dog park she has torn up out carpet.

On a good note, she is capable of roaming the house and yard freely while we are home with no negative consequences.

She has very mild leash aggression around strange or new dogs. She is easily corrected on this and us well on her way to being cured! And her response seems to be out of a playful frustration rather than mean or vicious.

She gets along magnificently with our 1yr boxer mix and our 10lb terrier!

She doesn't bark at the door when people knock but she greets her owner with enthusiasm! She is less trusting of strangers but never mean or aggressive.


We have learned about her:

She hates loud drunks and heavy metal music.

She wakes you up softly and quietly in the morning

She needs to be in a home with at least one other big dog.

She is house trained but will pee in the house if he feels she is not getting enough human attention.

All her bad habits are correctable for the right home and the right owner.

She's never been around kids so I can't comment to that.

Laika hates motorcycles and boat motors.


I love this dog so much, I have had her for a month and I think she is fianlly ready for her true home. I will not adopt her out to just anyone. She was returned to the shelter 4 times in just two years because people were not prepared to help her. You must have prior husky experience and experience and knowledge of separation anxiety and the ability to be your packs leader.

I have a hundred more comments about her but I will leave that for one on one conversations. We can email photos of her and videos of her playing with our dogs!

Male, 9 years old, Red and White, Amber eyes

"Alaska" -- I need to find a new home for my two siberian huskies because of a divorce and dramatic change in my living situation.

Alaska is a 9 year old male siberian husky. He is a great indoor dog that is comfortable being in the home with children and cats. He has a very laid back demeanor and knows the difference between playing inside, around kids/infants, and playing outdoors with kids or other dogs. We have 2 siberian huskies and Alaska gets along very well with his brother (Takota, aka Sunnee).

We need to find a new loving and caring home for these boys as soon as possible. Please contact me if you have any questions or would like to meet either of them.

thank you

Takota (aka Sunnee) is a 6 year old male siberian husky. He is a great indoor dog that is comfortable being in the home with children and cats.

Female, 4 years old, Red and White, Amber eyes

"Cali" -- I have 2 incredible Huskies that I have had since they were 8 weeks old. I am being relocated out of state and regretfully it's impossible for me to take my "kids". This is definitely worse than when my real kids went to college. These are 2 fantastic dogs and they need to stay together if at all possible.

All I care about is finding them a great home and a great owner /family. Prefer someone who likes to walk or jog. I take them on 1-2 two-mile walks a day, which they love. I have worked at home for years (other than travels) so, other than the walks, they just lay around the house or lay by the pool. They are also incredible with children.

They are both healthy and fully up to date on their shots with no medical issues.

Zorro, the black male with blue eyes, is a "very young" 9. (My last Husky lived until he was 16 with no medical problems). Has the personality of a lab and speaks English fluently. Will almost never bark -- but will ask for food, water or to go outside.

Cali, the brown and white female, with amber eyes is 4. She too will ask for food etc but either her vocabulary isn't as large or she's just a bit more stubborn. She is more playful / active but is also very "cuddly" at night especially.

Please only respond if you are a serious, experienced dog owner with a good home and time to walk the dogs. Obviously, I will need to get to know you and see their new home. Please give a brief description of your home life and ability to care for the dogs.

Thx much.

Female, 5 years old, Grey and White, Blue eyes

"Tink" -- Tink is a loving 5 year old "puppy." She loves to play and is very goofy. She is on the shorter side for husky's but very stalky. She loves to be outside, but is also a good house dog. She loves the companionship of other dogs as well. Shortly after my husband and I had our daughter, we realized she was very allergic to Tink. After exhausting every outlet hoping friends or family would take her in, I am hoping a good family/owner out there that will take her in. Please contact me for more information or pictures.

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

"Wolfe" -- Found in the Lincoln Village West area of Stockton on Sunday Nov. 13, 2011
Wolfie showed up at our house on November 13th. We kept him for the required 30 days and tried to find his owner, but to no avail. He is now looking for his "forever" home. Wolfie has been vaccinated and is scheduled to be neutered on Dec. 20th. The vet thinks he's about 2 years-old. He weighs 63 lbs.

Wolfie is very friendly and gets along well with children and adults. He's not aggressive at all and behaves well at outdoor restaurants and coffee shops. He loves to ride in cars and go to the dog park. He is very social and gets along well with other dogs. As with other dogs of this breed, he needs a lot of attention and exercise. He also likes to go for walks, but pulls on the leash. He could benefit from some obedience training. He has some separation anxiety and will need to be kept in a escape-proof yard. Needs to be in a single dog home.

For more information, please call
Jan Quartaroli at 209-478-2432 or
Mike Quartaroli at 209-479-3712.

Male, 12 months old, Black and White, Bi-Eyed eyes

"Flash" -- Flash is truly an incredible dog! He walks easily with a loose leash, shows no aggression toward other dogs, cats or people, and is eager to be your best friend. He was pulled from a death sentence at the shelter, has been altered and vetted and is currently peacefully residing in rescue (in a home with multiple dogs and cats). We are guessing him at a year old, as his play gait is a bit loose, but he will be a big boy.

Flash is being fostered in the Central Valley area of CA. A trip to meet him will be required prior to adoption.

Flash is easily handled and has no sensitive/do not touch spots. He does not appreciate other dogs approaching his food, but is politely canine in letting them know. Rescue REQUIRES a fenced yard, experienced owner and home inspection. We do not have small children so have no way of testing his reaction to them, we would prefer a home with respectful children over 12 due to his size.

Female, 3 years old, Black Tan and White, Blue eyes

"Nissa" -- Nissa is a very affectionate girl. She is active, loves children and loves to run and play. She did both obedience and obstacle course classes and she was the only dog in her class to do everything! She has never been around cats. She would prefer to be an only child, though she plays well with her sister and other dogs she meets. She is food aggresive, but never with with people. She can be off leash in a safe area most of the time, but on 2 occasions she has gone adventuring!

I am recently single and recovering from an accident that doesn't allow me to give her the attention and exercise she requires.

"Zara" -- Zara is a love of a girl! She is very affectionate and loves people of all ages and sizes. She is very good around other dogs -- but has never been around cats. She goes off leash with me on walks in the woods (no cars) and goes adventuring but always comes back and finds me.

My situation changed recently and I am now single and recovering from an accident that prevents me from giving her and her sister all the exercise that they require. She is a big girl and lives outside, though she is very good in the house as well.

Male, 5 years old, Grey and White, Brown eyes

"Kenai" -- Kenai is an affectionate, silly, playful, and energetic boy. He is full of energy and loves to go for walks/runs, and will occasionally take a swim in the pool. He definitely needs a home that is experienced with the breed. Although not an escape artist, he is strong and needs to be in a secure yard as he has a prey drive for small animals (we have cats so this is why Kenai is an outside dog). We are devastated that we must give him up, but he broke through our fence and killed the neighbor's small dog, so we are not able to keep him. This event took us by surprise (and devastated us!) because he has always been playful and gentle with small dogs.

Male, 6 years old, Black and White, Blue eyes

"Max" -- Max must find a new home! Max is a 6 year old pure bred HUSKY. He is NOT good with small dogs and is NOT housetrained therefore has been confined to the back property and his crate most of his life. Max also is NOT good with cats. Max needs to go to a home/ rescue that will work with him and give him the loving care he deserves. Max also needs a secure yard because he knows how to open gates, and also digs if he gets lonely. Max is good with most big dogs, taking an interest in females mostly. Max gets very hot (120 degrees) where I live and would do better in a cooler climate. Besides all his special needs, Max is a great dog and loves to give love and affection. He just needs someone with time to give. PLEASE HELP!!

"Toto" -- Hi, this is Toto. He is a 40 pound 2 year old Husky mix. He was a cute puppy but once he grew up his family didn't want him anymore. Toto is affectionate, he gets along with dogs, he seems to tolerate cats, and he is great with children. He is neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, a fecal test was done, and frontlined. Toto has been an outside dog all his life but now he gets to sleep inside with his family. So he is learning to do his business outside using a doggy door.

Female, 9 years old, Red and White, Blue eyes

"Kaya" -- Kaya was rescued @ approx 1 y/o from the Rancho Cucamonga Animal Shelter after having to put our first Husky down due to a tumor. She literally was a reincarnation. That blessing took place almost 8 yrs ago, and we've loved her very much.

She has been a great companion to my dad, mom, grandmother, and aunt for many years. She's spayed and micro-chipped.

She's an outdoor dog, and though she has a nice igloo house, she prefers to sleep on the lawn. She roams free in the back yard during the day, and is on a lead at night, just in case.

She only barks and whines that lovable "i'm so glad you're home and happy to see you whine" when she knows you've arrived home, other than that, not much of a barker at all.

Unfortunately, due to deaths in the family, and having to relocate, we are unable to keep Kaya any longer. It absolutely destroys us that while we rescued her, now it seems as if we are abandoning her as she was originally.

Kaya is an absolutely beautiful, friendly, lovable, intelligent dog. She loves attention from just about anybody. Likes playing with and around children. She's somewhat trained, sit, shake, speak, etc. She remembers people immensely well.

Obviously would love to place her in a comfortable home.

Cannot and will not take her back to the shelter.

Anyone that can help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

"Sequia" -- Sequia is very fun to play with and is really great if you like to run or exercise. She can pull you on a bicycle and can pull children and yourself on a wagon or other pulley.
She does not bark and is very quiet. A convenience is that is a purely outdoor dogs (since birth), she has never been exposed to indoor conditions therefor have no prior indoor training.
When walking or running she must be kept them on a leash (outside a fenced area), she cannot be trusted of a leash if you are not in a secure fenced area. She does not like small animals and will attack them if they are provoked so it is imperative that you keep her away from cats and puppies. She is not a terrible dog for this; it is just in the nature of the species of dogs she is.
She loves to give kisses and spend time with her owner, and she love people very much.
She loves small children and is even great around babies. She has grown up around children her whole life and loves attention from all forms of people. She loves being loved on and make a great family dog.

Female, 2 years 5 months old, Black and White, Brown eyes

"Misha" -- This is one of the nicest malamutes to come through our rescue! She is sweet and pretty much tolerates anything, except cows. She is a city girl and so is not sure if those cows are dangerous or not! She tends to ignore the cats as long as they don't run. Due to her size we do not advise a home with small children. But she does love people and craves attention. She loves hanging out inside with her people and will play outside if she has a doggy friend.
