Do you like being pampered with softness? Then I'm your fluffy guy. I am a lover of play and have an eager mind to learn.
Life is not good for dogs here in my country. A bad owner kept me in a small garden without shelter and not fed often. I was also all alone. That is hard emotionally on a pack animal, especially a husky.
They knew nothing about my breed and thought I was a guard dog type. When my rescuer got me, I had wounds on my body and legs and my collar was cutting into my skin.
Know, I am a happy boy. I really enjoy playing with other dogs, but I haven't been around cats or kids. Oh, and ball playing, that is another fun pastime. I am rather possessive of my food and will grumble and bare my teeth to let other dogs know it is mine. My rescuer is working on this and I am improving & eating my food where the other dogs are now.
Upon first meeting I tend to jump in your face and bark. Once I get to know who you are, I start smiling at you. During the first couple days, I often won't let someone touch me. But start giving me treats and playing ball with me, then we are best of friends. In fact, I will probably be asking you to touch me and even want to sleep in bed with you.
I'm not fond of strange men taking hold of my collar/leash and will show a snarl and maybe bang my mouth on them as a warning. It is not a bite though. It just worries me until I get to know them. Likely this is due to something that happened to me. Once I realize you won't let any harm come to me, that should dissipate with training.
If I do something wrong, they just say no bad boy. (In Persian, of course) and I then I will sit and try to shake paws with you. If I am cute and flash my brown eyes at you, how could you get upset with me?
I am quite smart, as us Huskies tend to be.
My energy is moderate to fairly active, as most Huskies are, so an active to moderately active home would suit me. If you had a yard, that would be great, but if not some hikes would be super too. Just plenty of exercise is needed for the likes of us legendary breeds.
I know to do my business outside and do well with leash walking. I am a perky boy and would love to live with another dog as a playmate.
My rescuer had me fully checked, bloodwork and all and I am fully healthy
I have been spayed/neutered, *vaccinated & micro-chipped.
My adoption fee is $500.00 CAD, this includes my airfare to Canada.

Information included in the profile is provided to us from the international rescuer or local fosters. LALDR does not have access to overseas dogs and cannot always verify the accuracy of their descriptions. Every dog is an individual and can act differently in different situations based on the person adopting them and the environment in which they live.
The age and breed of a dog is usually an educated guess, so we are not able to guarantee the accuracy of age or breed of our dogs.
Normally, we will not approve adoptions to homes with children under 12 years of age. More information can be found on our website.
*Vaccinations: Dogs from the Middle East are vaccinated for rabies, parvo, distemper, leptospirosis, adenovirus type 1 and para-influenza. Bordatella is not given, as that has not been a problem in the Middle East.
