Farley

Description

Meet Farley

Farley is a large 6yr old mixed breed dog. Farley came to us from Inuvik, where he was a much loved community dog. However he was at risk of being put down, so his lovely community got together to get him out of there and fly him to us here in the hopes we could find him the best, permanent home.

Farley is absolutely lovely, he has been around other dogs all his life and seems to be very non reactive. We don’t know how he would be with cats or children but in general he has a calm, wise demeanor. Everyone here has fallen in love with him and he deserves the best home.

He does have a long thick coat and will need regular grooming. His adoption fee is 450$

Fireweed

Description

Meet Fireweed, Fireweed is a large 2-3yr old husky. Fireweed is a lovely dog, she loves to go for walks, but could use some help on learning not to pull. She loves her toys and has a favourite Kong toy that she likes to grab and carry everywhere. Fireweed shows very little dog reactivity here, so she may be fine in a home with another dog with proper introductions. We do not know how she would be with cats, but she does show some prey drive so I would lean towards no cats. She would be fine with older children that can respect her space and not crawl all over her. She has opinions about being touched in certain places. Fireweed does need an experienced owner, she can be anxious about new things and high stress environments can cause her to shut down, she responds very well to positive reinforcement to work through this. She prefers to be outside so an active home with a big fenced yard would be ideal for her.

Charlie

Description

Meet Charlie, Charlie and Missy will be going into their 5th month at the shelter. We have had zero interest in adopting them together. We have reached out to try and find them a foster together, but again had no interest. We did however have a foster home reach out interested in fostering Missy. After much discussions and consideration, we decided that trying Missy in a foster without Charlie would be a good choice, it would give us a chance to truly see how she did without Charlie. And how Charlie did without her. Charlie did not seem bothered by her being gone and his dog reactivity at the shelter has actually improved. We are now confident in our decision to offer them for adoption seperately. Charlie is a 6yr old male husky cross. He is a lovely, happy affectionate boy, but he does have some specific needs when it comes to finding him his perfect home. Charlie is dog reactive, and while we know he can live with other dogs, it would likely have to be a very particular dog with a long introduction, for this reason we feel he should be in a only dog home. His reactivity has calmed down somewhat since Missy has been gone, but its still there. He is good to walk, and enjoys long hikes and runs, but I would say he may always need to on leash or a longline. He can be reactive to dogs passing him on the trail but he is controllable and easily redirected. We know he lived with a cat in a past life, so he may be fine with them again with proper introduction. Charlie needs to be in a home with out kids. He has some body guarding habits around his feed being handled and he snapped at a child who accidently stepped on his foot. With people that he knows and trusts he is fine for having his feet lifted in and out of a harness and will offer shake a paw. But we think a quiet home where is the single dog would be best. We would also be happy to find a foster home for Charlie as well. Five months in the shelter is too long. Lets get this boy a home.

Rolo

Description

Meet Rolo! Rolo is a 5yr old husky cross, he looks like he could have some akita in him. He don't know his history as he came in through bylaw, but at the shelter he has shown that he is easy going, gentle and good natured. Rolo has shown no dog reactivity while he's been here, so would probably do well with other dogs. Not sure about cats. He would be fine with children. He walks well on a leash. He is lovely and eager to please, he loves being outside, so an active family that like to go on walks would be ideal, as he also has a few lbs he could lose.

Enzo

Description

**IN FOSTER**

Hi, I’m Enzo! I’m a 3 year old mixed breed male. 

 

When I first got to the shelter I was afraid, unsure and skinny. They are slowly helping me gain some weight and some trust. I really crave love and attention but get uneasy when receiving it, it is just a lot for me to process! I can be quite scared around men and some women, especially through the fence. I will need my person to go slow with me and really build a bond with me. I am very food motivated, it makes it easier for me to trust you if you’ve got good snacks. 

 

Thank you to Briar Rose Photography - Whitehorse, Yukon Photographer for taking pictures for us! Follow her on Facebook. Follow her on Instagram @briar.rose.photography.design

 

 

Likes: treats, people going slow with me

Dislikes: unpredictable movements and strangers

Cats: not tested

Dogs: I haven’t met many, proper introductions needed

Kids: over 12 please

Potty trained: mostly, I still have the occasional accident

 

My adoption fee would be $450.

 

Thank you to Klondike Office Solutions for sponsoring Enzo’s kennel! We appreciate your support. 

 

When adopting, the fee you pay gets you an animal that is vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed and spayed or neutered. If they are not of age to have been spayed or neutered, a purchase order is sent to the vet that covers a large portion of their surgery. 

 

If you’re interested in adopting this animal please stop by or call the shelter at (867) 633-6019. At that point, we can fill out our questionnaire and we can talk about adoption!
