Yonjuro Posted April 12, 2015 Author Share Posted April 12, 2015 ......... and my friend who is a husky person can apply to give him his deserved forever home :) Oh no! Tell you friend not to hold back and get his name in now, just to be on the safe side. If the pound knows there is a knowledgeable person in the wings, they may persuade the other people to look at another more suitable dog. I called them last Tuesday morning and discussed it and told them my friend is an experienced husky owner, I left my name and number and they said they would call me if the pre-arranged meeting didn't go through or was unsuitable. I suppose they need to be fair about it and there was someone there first, and they did say they prefer that these dogs go to people who understand their needs and character. I may call them again tomorrow and see if there is any news. :) Having said that, the first people may indeed be experienced with the breed - I wouldn't know and it is obviously not my business :) Either way it is looking like good news for the puppy and that is the most important thing :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happypaws Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Fingers crossed ( and paws ) for both huskies ... I would love to have one , but unless I get to stay home or work from home it won't be happening for a long while .. I would also need to raise a pup ( I have a dog friendly cat .. He loves everybody) and a husky that hasn't grown up with a cat and doesn't treat it as a snack is rare. On my maybe one day list !! Mean time I love the adventures of ronin and tiger and all the adventure / mischief they get into :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mean time I love the adventures of ronin and tiger and all the adventure / mischief they get into :) Thanks Happypaws :) Well, mixed news today, my friends who are interested in the puppy have three huskies and there may be some issues with the poor puppies lack of dog socialisation - it may not be fair on the puppy to go into an established pack. It is very hard to say right now as the puppy is in quarantine for kennel cough when they visited today. At 5 months the puppy license may no longer be present so careful consideration for both parties must be given. The puppy should have no problems in a solo dog house with someone who knows the breed and then I am sure he can be carefully socialised :) On a much brighter note, I have another experienced husky couple that are very keen on the old boy and will be calling the rescue first thing in the morning :thumbsup: Regarding huskies and cats: There are people with cats and huskies together, but I am pretty sure it would be a nightmare in my house. As you say a puppy would be the best for cohabitation with safe places for the cat to retreat to. Probably not something I would recommend to an inexperienced person, but a dog savvy person who understood the potential risks will probably have positive results :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mim Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Any update on the older husky? Did your friends take him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yonjuro Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 Any update on the older husky? Did your friends take him? Our friends wanted to but the rescue want him to go to a home with another old dog??? They have a younger Husky. Don't understand really It was all weird from the info I got second hand. I don't think my friend was too happy about the whole situation. Apparently he lives with a foster, but that person was away on holidays? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mim Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 That is weird. Disappointing because he could have had a husky-savvy home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is weird and very disappointing ... am not sure I can take the stress of trying to help, after two disappointments Anyway I wasn't there to hear all the info first hand so I just don't know all the facts and I am not bagging anyone :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
