Siberian Husky Pair - To be fostered or rehomed together
Pippi and Griffin's situation is now urgent and we are looking for a foster hero to save two lives.
We had a great update on them after they were assessed this week. Both pups really charmed our behaviourist and they were described as lovely dogs with a great nature. The pair has fostered other dogs in the past, so with the right match they can go into a temporary home with another dog, however our preference if for them to find their an adoption home of their own.
Pippi and Griff have lived with cats in the past and during our assessment they were indifferent to cats around, making them good candidates to go into a home with the feline kind.
Griff is more confident and outgoing with people, but he frets without his sister Pippi. Pippi whist shy with the human kind, she is great with other dogs, whist Griff can be selective. They are a bit younger than we thought, ages 7 and 8.
They are inseparable as per all the photos we have shared with you, and they must go together and you will get double the love!
Rogue is a very loving girl that is being rehomed as her currently family doesn't have the time to look after her.
Rogue enjoys nothing more than spending time with her human family. She is very people oriented and her new family will need to include her as part of family and take her to family outings. Rogue has great manners inside the home and her new home will have to make space for her on the lounge so she can watch the news curled up next to you :) as per attached photo!
However loving she is, Rogue is a Siberian Husky girl that will not disappoint in her cheeky husky ways. She is stubborn and she will be happy to tell you off if she is not happy with your decision! She will not hold back on arguing to express exactly how she feels. Rogue loves her digging in typical husky style and will need dig proof fencing that is at 6ft at a minimum.
Rogue is a great family dog, and her owners have put in a lot of time into her. She has attended ongoing obedience school and she loves working for her humans at her local weekly school. Rogue is very food driven and she will not miss an opportunity to get some extra food from you which can help you with her ongoing training. Her new family will be keen to continue her training.
Rogue has great lead manners and doesn't pull as she was trained to walk next to a pram. She loves her daily walks, and at her young age she will need two daily walks to keep her happy. She is very playful and will enjoy a game of fetch, but she is not a good sport getting cranky if another dog gets her ball. She also loves playing chase in the yard with her humans and will do zoomies when she is happy and excited! Then to top it up she will enjoy going for a swim and deservedly receive her favourite treat : a peanut butter kong!
Rogue has lived with children, and due to her size she will best suited to a family with kids age 12 or older. She is good with other dogs, but she can bossy at times so she will need to meet any potential siblings to ensure suitability. She has lived with cats in her home, so there is potential she will be ok living with cats, but there is no guarantee that she will treat a new cat as a member of the family.

Pippi and Griffin (Griff) were rescued at a young age, and became a bonded pair in foster care and have been inseparable since. They have shared a loving home together for the past 7 years, however the family's circumstances have recently changed and they are needing to relunctanly rehome this beautiful husky pair.
Griffin is goofy, very vocal, the definite leader and protector of Pippi. He likes to be the centre of attention and pushes his nose into everyone's business. He's always ready to plonk at your feet and immediately goes to the 'rub my tummy if you truly love me' pose. He sighs very loudly if you don't!
Pippi took a long time to come out of her shell and still suffers the effects of a less than ideal start. What happened to her is unknown. She is completely submissive to the point of still being incredibly timid, which breaks your heart. However, when she feels safe, she is a pure joy. She speaks beautifully when you talk to her directly, and sits on the couch like a Regal Queen. She will however, cower pitifully if there are raised voices, she startles easily, is timid around all men but will approach them in her own good time, and is afraid of anyone with a hoodie on. Pippi has a dilemma at walk time, in that she loves walks and gets so excited she will race you to the door. However, she is afraid of the leash itself & squeeze herself into a corner if you approach with it in front of you. Once it's on though, she's perfect. Despite this, Pippi has never displayed any aggression.
Despite their age, both dogs are still very active and will need their daily exercise. They both pull for the first 5 mins, but then settle down to walk beautifully. They know to stop at the corners, understand Wait, and then WalkOn when told.
They love smelly, muddy water and swimming at the beach. They hate a bath or shower. Pippi and Griff have been very much indoor dogs and don't like you to be out of sight. If the back door is left open, they still choose to be indoors. They will let you know if they need to go outside. They understand going to the bathroom on command and will go outside when told to 'Go Toilet'. At this age they have become basically very placid, middle aged & loving dogs who just want to be with their humans as much as possible. They are loyal, loving, gentle, vocal and have loads of personality!
If you have double the space in your heart please get in touch with us today!

Daily walks No other pets in the home Adult home or with children age 12+ Family members that are home more often than not Inside access to the home at all times 6Ft dig proof fencing Not suited to apartment living Breed Exp

Asha I Siberian Husky I Female I 5 yo Nugget I German Shepherd I Male I 5 yo
We will update Ash and Nugget as we get to know them better, but this is what we know so far:
Asha and Nugget have been together since they were puppies, so they are very bonded and must go into a home together. Asha is the cheeky one and has the brain. She does boss Nugget around too, but he is easy going and he is happy to follow her lead.
They come from a loving family and have been included as part of the family. They have full access to the inside of the home, and they enjoy spending time inside. They sleep with their human's bedroom. They are great dogs and regrettably due to change of circumstances they are needing to be rehomed.
Asha and Nugget have attended obedience school, they have been socialised and both dogs have a great nature. They get along well with the other family dogs, and they also share the home with cats. They walk well on lead and they enjoy walking to the local shops where they often get some pats from the local folks. The love the family's children as that means they can off get from yummy food if they are visiting the household.
Asha enjoys digging and she has escaped in the past, so they will need a secure yard that is dig proof and 6ft to keep the pair enclosed. Nugget is obedient and is ok to be offlead, whislt Asha the husky will just take off and not come back if offlead.
If you want a good natured and already made pair, then apply today! MC # TBD

Jet was surrendered to a shelter extremely overweight (47 kg!!!!) and with a very matted and unkept coat. He has lost a few kilos since he then and got a VIP treatment at Happy Husky Grooming the other day, so he is looking like the beautiful dog he is! Jet is a nice boy and his condition shows that he didn't come from a family that understood his breed or cared for him appropriately. He has lived as an outside dog and has lived with a cat and no other dogs.
We would like for Jet to go into a husky experienced home, with children in their teens or older. We think he would do best as the only dog in the household. We will need to help Jet learn how to live as an inside dog as well. We would consider an application with a cat, but please aware that the dog & new cat integration will be a slow and gradual process, and there is no guarantee that he will accept a new cat as part of the family.
Jet is in good health, and a good exercise routine and diet will be him back to his normal weight.
To help Jet, please head to our webpage and apply.
Mikah is an affectionate young husky puppy that is being rehomed due to lack to time to meet her needs.
Mikah will need a committed home that is willing to take her to obedience training on a weekly basis, as she has very little training and lack exposure to the outside world.

Breed experience is essential, and commitment to daily exercise and 6ft fence that is dig proof is required. No cats, pocket pets or farm animals.

Steele who is a bit more demanding of attention. Not in a bad way; just when you call Mischa over for some loving, he sort of edges his way in and she lets him. He is energetic and playful. He allegedly fetched and plays with his toys, but if the humans are around they are much more fun to play with! He is a typical young male with energy to burn so will need someone committed to daily walks. If he was to be separated from Mischa he would need to go to a home with another dog to keep him company.

Mischa is very calm and takes the back seat to her mate Steele. An easygoing girl who just wants cuddles and someone to hang out with. No puppy craziness for this chilled out girl - she’s an easy rider all the way.
She is a bit of a digger - there are a number of bucket sized holes in the back yard but none near the fence line to indicate an escape attempt. Like any good husky, she just likes a hip hole or two. To help keep this delightful hobby in check Mischa would need a home with someone Home more often than not and daily walks. MC # 956000003036346
