Story
04/04/20 17:07 Juno was surrendered to the shelter because her owner lives on base and with the fences being very short, Juno was able to jump them and would consistently run off. Since Juno spends time outside when her owner is not home, this was not safe for her and her owners hoped she could find a home that was more suited to her needs. Juno is said to be curious about babies, playful with children, and friendly with adults. Juno is playful with dogs but has not lived with cats or small animals. Juno is housebroken (paces by door) and kennel trained, she rides well in a car and generally minds well. Per her previous owner Juno needs a place to run and could have potential as a hunting partner if trained for it, as she seems to like following animal scents. Juno likes to play with toys and is ready for a forever home that can give her the exercise and activity she needs to be happy!

Story
Juno came to the shelter as a stray so not much is known about her past. During her stay at the shelter Juno struggled with keeping her kennel clean at first, but has drastically improved over the course of a few days. Juno appears to behave politely to her canine neighbors and has been very friendly and outgoing with the staff. Juno likely lived most of her live outside and will need housetraining and socializing to help her mature into a well-rounded companion. Juno is an Alaskan Husky and will need plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. If Juno does not get ample amounts of exercise she may develope some less than desirable behaviors. Juno has a high prey drive and will likely chase and attack cats and small critters, so she must go to a home without kitties or pocket pets; likewise, she should meet any smaller dogs (less than 20#) before being adopted. Mutual visits with other dogs are always recommended as well as meeting any children that live in the home prior to adoption to ensure it will be a good fit!

Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
03/28/20 14:39 Red was surrendered to the shelter due to his owner having lost their job due to Covid-19 along with Copper, Golden Girl, Bluey, Elby, Coco, and Chewy. We unfortunately do not have many details on them. Red is an extremely enthusiastic boy, who is excited about just about everything! He has been harness broken and seems to be the cheerleader of the team. When harnessed Red was extremely excited and very ready to go. He has been an exceptional eater while he has been here. Red has the potential to become an indoor dog, but extra patience and guidance should be given. Red is an extremely active boy, so he will require lots of exercise. Alaskan Huskies are extremely intelligent and require daily exercise, or they are known for becoming destructive. What better way to spend your quarantine, then getting to know this enthusiastic boy!

Story
Meet Saga, an 11-week-old husky pup who's ready to start her journey with a new family! This little one was surrendered along with her siblings after an accidental litter, and now she's all set to find a home where she can thrive. Like any puppy, Saga has a lot to learn-from house training to leash walking-but she's already had a great start. Her previous owners did a solid job getting her comfortable around people and kids, so she's off to a confident beginning. Saga will need plenty of socialization to continue growing into a well-rounded adult dog, and she'd really benefit from a positive reinforcement training class to help her master the basics and bond with her new family. If you're ready for the adventure (and a little bit of chaos!) that comes with a young husky, Saga would love to be your new partner. If you're ready to adopt now and want to learn more about, meet, or adopt this pet, you can start the process in one of two ways: Come on in during open adoption hours Tuesday - Saturday 12:30-3:00! For in-shelter pets (not in foster care) coming in ASAP is the fastest way to adopt. **the below two methods are slower than visiting us** Call us (413-781-4000 x 1) or email us (springfield@dakinhumane.org) for more information about a pet. We are often on the line with another client, but we return voice mail and emails within 24 hours.
