Loves belly rubs!

The East Coast partner of the rescue I volunteer for has a great dog available! Needs a northern breed or collie-savvy/dog experienced home - but imagine how much FUN she'd be at agility training!

**Shiras Foster Home is Located in Wilton, CT** Shira is 3 year old Siberian Husky/Border Collie mix who was found abandoned and taken to the NYC Animal Care and Control after her owner died. She is a happy, friendly, energetic, sweet girl who loves belly rubs, attention and talking. Yes, thats right. Shes very vocal like many Huskies and talks to you with woos. Shira is adjusting well to life in foster care but needs to be back in a home of her own. She is friendly towards other dogs but we wouldnt recommend her for a home with cats due to her high energy and excitement level when she sees a cat. Shira has completed a 2 week training course with a professional behavioral trainer. Shira need an experienced home because she still has some resource guarding issues. However, she is on a behavioral modification program and the adopter will have the chance to work with her behaviorist for a session or two to learn the program. Shira needs a lot of exercise and mental stimulation to fulfill the needs of both her breeds and would do well with agility course work. Shira needs to an active adult only home. Shira weighs approximately 40 pounds, is housebroken and crate trained. If you are interested in adopting Shira, please visit www.treasuredk9s.org and submit and adoption application. Experience with Siberian Huskies, Border Collies, Samoyeds, or other similar northern breeds is preferred.
