Shasta Husky & Siberian Husky Mix Boulder, CO

Shasta is a beautiful white Husky who was found as a stray in Houston, TX. Shasta is very outgoing and friendly with people and dogs! Shasta is 1 year old and 47 lbs. What we know for certain is that she's a gorgeous girl and will be a wonderful and loyal family companion. Once comfortable in her surroundings, she is SO loving..she's also a super-cuddly and very fun and playful girl.

Shasta's Texas foster described her as pure love and wonderful with their family and very grumpy older dog. This poor girl had likely spent at least half of her life wandering the streets searching for a loving spot. The biggest shock is that, in spite of her horrific circumstances, Shasta could absolutely not be sweeter! She loves the other dogs that she meets on her walks and gets along great with all age groups. Shasta never disappoints and greets people with a helicopter tail and pure joy.

Shasta could be that dream come true best friend for an active family who enjoy spending their time with a very sweet and engaging companion. Once comfortable, Shasta will return 100% of your kindness and caring with all the love that lives inside of her. The Husky is a perfect choice for those who are searching for a super-smart, loyal, and very loving family dog. Huskies are active, so an active family or individual is a must. Huskies require lots of physical, but also mental stimulation. An adopter with prior Husky experience is not necessary, but a plus! Shasta represents the best qualities found in Huskies.

We would love to see Shasta in a home that includes her in family time and activities...she's appropriately playful and fun-loving and would thrive in a family that truly loves her and considers her a very important family member. She will be a wonderful companion for active, fun-loving individual or family who have the time and energy to give a Husky the proper exercise and stimulation that she needs! She would also fit in well with a family that works from a home-based office and loves to have a best companion to love up throughout the day. We feel that Shasta is too social a girl to be left alone for the long hours of full-time employment outside of the home. She doesn't require another dog to be happy if her people are very present and involved...but does enjoy her canine relationships with playful and gentle dogs. She is untested with cats, but based off the usual prey drive of huskies, we do not think she would be a good fit in a home with cats.

Huskies are famous for their sharp intelligence! They use this intellect during their participation in training classes and therefore are very successful in learning skills and commands. It's for these reasons that we require adopters to sign up for positive reinforcement group (or personal, if preferred) training classes. She'll be a class star (which builds high self-esteem) while bonding with her family and learning her skills in a very positive way. Through this training, Shasta will become a well-behaved dog that can accompany her family out in the world with excellent behavior. Farfel's is happy to provide a list of approved positive reinforcement/ force-free trainers in your area.

Shasta has a stunning cottony-soft coat that speaks of her breed. She will therefore require a lifelong commitment to periodic sudsy baths/brushing and excellent nutrition (5 star food and a daily salmon oil supplement are great choices for coat care and general longevity). Through this regimen, her hair will always be super-healthy and matt-free.

Shasta will be ready for adoption on Wednesday 4/28/21. Applications are currently being accepted and can be found at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/. If interested in this very sweet, loyal and cuddly best friend, please fill out our application completely and submit.

**PLEASE NOTE** If you're truly interested in adopting from us, please be sure to fill out our Farfel's Rescue adoption application found at the link above or at farfels.com. Adoption site applications such as Petfinder, Rescueme and Adoptapet don't provide enough information and therefore aren't useful. Our Farfel's application is the only initial tool that we have to determine a great match for this very deserving dog. We're sorry, but in most cases, we're unable to get back to those that don't submit our Farfel's Rescue adoption application. Thanks very much for choosing rescue.
