Siberian Husky, Alaskan Malamute

I might consider adopting Koli to people with small animals. They must understand the risk they’d be taking though and understand the commitment involved. She has shown a lot of self control in the past (when I was working with her) in not going after the squirrels; even when I encouraged her to one time (she declined and instead asked to go inside for a treat.) Also, after reading my ad I realize I hardly described her as the cute and fuzzy lovable dog I fell in love with at the pound. She is a great cuddle bug and gives warm soft kisses on occasion when they mean something. She also knows when you are hurt most of the time and will see what she can do to help. She feels really bad if she was the one to cause the pain. (We get a bit riled up during play. One time she ran over my hand to chase a ball and she was already turning around -to give kisses- by the time the “Owe” even escaped me.) She takes treats really gentle and is not food aggressive. I can put my hand right in her bowl (to make sure she doesn’t forget I do this once a week.) Her nose is a counter surfer, but her tongue and fangs don’t follow :- ) (Then again she knows I’ll give her some if she waits long enough.)

*The original ad from 2007 for Koli can be seen by visiting her Yahoo page. Current version is the old version revised. The old version will have notes in it about the changes I made.

For being about six years old this girl still has a lot of energy. She's in her prime. If there's a walk or play time offered she right there ready to go. She can still keep up with the youngins and help tucker them out. As always though she'll fit herself to your mood, and if you want to relax she'll calm down and wait patiently for more fun to come around.

Major changes in the past year (or two) worth mentioning are:

1) Koli gets along much better with other dogs. (First meetings can still be a bit scary.) She even has a few non-sledding type friends. (You can see pictures with one of them on Koli's Care2 page. - off on the right hand side of the page is the link to the photo albums.)

2) She has proven that she can form a bond with her person (after a time,) and that just because she takes her self for a stroll, doesn't mean she's gone forever (or until by some dumb luck she's finally caught.) (Her escapes are rare, but they do happen until you learn her ways and she's settled in, and guests aren't always so careful about closing doors and gates.) (Frequent long walks can diminish this drive to run off.)

3) Lawns are now safe from the shredding power of Koli's nails.

Won't you please give this sweet girl a chance? She's been in foster care for over two years and needs a home to call her own.
