SKYE
Siberian Husky
Female 8yrs

**ON HOLD PENDING TRIAL/ADOPTION**

Skye will require:

* Children to be in their teens
* No cats, pocket pets or other animals
* Daily walks, always on lead
* A reasonably large yard with grass areas for digging and an undercover area for shelter
* Fences and gates will need to be at least 6 foot high, secure and dig-proof

She is a spritely 8 years and looking forward to the comforts of being an indoor dog. She is very friendly and loving, and her little heart's desire is cuddling up to you on the sofa.
She is very vocal and will talk to you constantly. Her favourite things are belly-rubs and chasing the ball, just don’t expect to get it back, like any typical Husky!
Skye is friendly with other dogs and loves going out and socialising. She isn’t confident enough to play with other dogs yet but does enjoy their company, so would love to find a home with a canine companion of similar size.
Skye has basic obedience but could use further obedience training, she is super food motivated so training her is fun.
Skye prefers to be inside with her humans and if left outside for too long she may howl in protest. She has previously been a partner in crime to escape artists, so will need a secure yard with fences and gates at least 6 foot high and dig-proof.
She can be quite exuberant for an older girl, so she isn’t suitable around younger kids.
Skye has the typical Husky hunting instinct and prey drive, which means she can never be let off-lead and is unsuitable to have around cats or other small animals.
Skye is not suited to apartment or rural living, or residences with a small yard. She is not available for interstate adoption.
If you have space on your couch for an Arctic snuggler and you fit all her requirements, please send in your application for Skye!

SIMBA
Siberian Husky
Male 4 yrs

**ON HOLD/PENDING ADOPTION/TRIAL**

Simba Requires

* Children to be in their teens
* No cats, pocket pets or other animals
* A home as an only dog, or he may be okay with a female dog of similar size
* Daily walks, always on lead
* A reasonably large yard with grass areas for digging and an undercover area for shelter
* Fences and gates will need to be at least 6 foot high, secure and dig-proof

Simba loves nothing more than cuddling up to his humans on the sofa. He is a very affectionate boy who would rather be an inside dog than an outside dog. He loves chasing a ball (but doesn’t always bring it back). When he is outside he has a lot of energy and would prefer somewhere with a lot of land to zoom around. Because of his high energy, he would only be suitable for homes when any children are at least in their teen years.

Simba loves walks, he is initially very excitable on the lead and will pull,but after a while he will settle and can walk nicely. Simba is good with other female dogs but can be reactive to male dogs, He will try to dominate if there is more than one dog in the home. Simba has had the company of other female dogs, but would thrive as an only dog.

Simba is very affectionate and loves to please so he will work for food, pats and praise - which makes it very easy to train him. He learns very quickly and responds well to voice commands once he is in a settled environment. He knows basic commands and is very eager to please.

KODA
Siberian Husky
Male 4 years

Koda needs:
• a home where someone is home most of the time
• preferably an only-dog home, but may do well with a confident, but laid back female.
• no cats or other pets
• children to be at least in their teens
• a reasonably large yard with natural grass areas and shelter
• secure 6 foot fencing and gates
• ongoing obedience training
• Husky or arctic breed experience preferred
Koda is just the sweetest boy you ever will meet!
Sometimes he is aloof and serious, or happy to chill at your feet all day rather than zoomies and mischief that the breed is known for. However, give him a ball to play with (especially one that squeaks) and you get a whole different dog!
He loves walks and trips to the beach and he walks like a dream, requiring very little lead pressure if he starts to pull. He loves his humans! He trusts and bonds quickly, losing his initial shyness within hours. He will follow you everywhere and likes to be close to you at all times, but he also likes his personal space and doesn’t like to be mollycoddled.
Koda suffers mild separation anxiety but can be left alone during the day if he is allowed somewhere he can watch for your return, ideally with access inside the home. With this in mind, he would suit a family where someone is home more often than not so that he can relax knowing you are home safe. He can be nervous in the dark due to having Polar (Star) cataracts (see medical notes below), so would need to be an inside dog at night.
He likes a routine and boundaries with regular positive reinforcement. Once he is familiar with his routine, his anxiety drops so he needs a calm, consistent handler who can read when he is getting overwhelmed and intervene before it escalates.

Medical Needs:
Koda has been diagnosed as having Posterior Polar Cataracts in both eyes. This is not affecting his vision at the moment and no special treatment is required. The prognosis for Koda is good, however there is the possibility that he may suffer some vision impairment in the future so this condition will need to be monitored. The good news is that polar cataracts rarely cause blindness, progression is usually slow and should there be any vision loss, dogs don't rely nearly as much on their eyesight as their sense of smell and hearing and generally adapt very well.

NALA
Gender: Female
Age: 3 year old
Breed: Siberian Husky
Pair: No
Special Needs: Yes
Only Dog: Yes


NALA NEEDS A VERY SPECIAL CARER
- please do not apply unless you meet all the following requirements:

Husky or arctic breed experience essential - Nala will be a challenge for even an experienced owner
very secure, 6 foot high and dig proof fencing
a reasonable sized yard with natural grass areas and adequate shelter
no other dogs, no cats or other animals
ongoing training and strict feeding routines
any children to be well into their teen years
a home that can tolerate her loud vocalisation
Any application that does not meet all Nala's needs cannot be considered.

Nala needs a very special hero, and she needs her hero now! She has very limited time to find a suitable home to help her.

This poor girl has been starved and was emaciated. She has passed around to a number of homes that were not right for her. As a result, she is a hot mess.

Nala is extremely anxious and obsessive. She struggles with too much stimulation and wails like a banshee when stressed. Due to her malnutrition and poor treatment, she is constantly hunting for food or a way to escape, and has difficulty settling down. On the other hand, she can be friendly and affectionate, and is very curious and loves exploring.

In order to help Nala, we are looking for someone with a super secure yard with 6 foot high, dig proof fencing, no other pets and a willingness to follow a strict training and feeding program, which we will provide.

Please do not apply if you don’t meet these conditions - Nala only has a short time to find a carer and we don’t want to waste that precious time. If you can help, please contact us ASAP.

SHADOW
Male
10Years

Shadow will require:

* Any children to be in their teens
* No cats, pocket pets or other animals
* Daily walks, always on lead
* Indoor access
* A home where someone is home most of the time
* A reasonable sized yard with grass & garden areas, and an undercover area for shelter
* Fences and gates will need to be secure and dig-proof
* Homes with arctic breed experience, preferably with Huskies, will be given priority

Please do not apply unless you meet all Shadow's requirements

Shadow is aptly named. He just wants to be wherever you are!

This gorgeous senior gentleman is looking for a forever home to enjoy his final years in peace, with guaranteed walkies everyday and someone who doesn’t mind sharing their personal space.

Shadow loves food and anything to do with the possibility of it, but is also a typically fussy eater! He doesn’t mind making a pest of himself by being underfoot while you’re in the kitchen or at the table, so needs a home that can show him boundaries and manners.

He adores cuddles with his people and is super affectionate, but has no idea how to behave around little kids, so any children in the house would need to be secondary school aged. He will wait patiently by the door until you come home, so would prefer a his people to around more often than not.

Shadow has the typical ailments of a dog his age. He recently had some significant dental work done, so his days of munching hard bones are over. He has some arthritis and a couple of bone spurs and has supplements and periodic treatments to help manage these, but by and by he’s a happy healthy old boy.

Shadow would be happy to live as an only dog or possibly with a another quiet senior canine that kept to themselves. He needs a secure yard and access to inside when his people aren’t home.

If you have room for this sweetheart on your couch, apply now.

Shadow is not available for interstate adoption, and is not suitable for apartments or rural properties.

MAX
Male
3 Years

Max will require:

* Arctic breed experience essential, preferably with Huskies
* Any children to be in their teens
* No cats, pocket pets or other animals
* A home as an only dog, or he may be okay with a female dog of similar size
* Daily walks, always on lead
* A reasonably large yard with grass areas for digging and an undercover area for shelter
* Fences and gates will need to be at least 6 foot high, secure and dig-proof

Please do not apply unless you meet all Max's requirements

Max will make you feel like you are the only person in the world and that he would do anything for you. And then he will go and do the same thing to the next 10 people he comes across!

Max is a charming 3 year old lad that knows how to take advantage of his good looks. He’s super food motivated, super smart and super cheeky. If the person at the end of his lead is confident and capable, Max will be an absolute angel. Leave him to his own devices and he’ll be a devil!

Max loves the company of humans and will be happiest hanging out wherever you are. He gets a bit concerned when initially left alone and will carry on like he’s been mortally wounded (he's very dramatic) before eventually settling down.

Max needs a reasonably-sized, super secure yard with minimum 6 foot, dig-proof fencing. Although Max loves to play bitey-face and rough and tumble zoomies like any good Husky, he can be a bit of a bully if not closely supervised. For this reason, he would prefer to be an only dog, or matched with a suitable female dog of similar size that can put up with his jerky ways and a human that can closely monitor their interactions.

Max is a typical Husky and has a strong prey drive, so cannot be around any small animals, including small dogs, and can never be exercised off-lead. He also needs an owner who is conscious of this and will proactively manage his walks and advocate for him. Little kids are just too exciting to be around for Max, so he’s looking for an adult only home that is committed to his ongoing training and enrichment. In return he will provide endless affection and an awesome running buddy.

Max is currently in a kennel environment and is looking for either a foster or adoptive home. If you are looking for an absolute heartbreaker to share your couch with and meet all his requirements, apply today!

Max is not available for interstate adoption, and is not suitable for apartments, rural properties or residences with a small yard space.
