Harry

Siberian Husky

Looking for love

You know what everyone needs in their life? Everyone needs to be able to talk about when they had a dog called Harry. Not Rover, Fido or Deefer, but Harry. Harry the Husky is even more noteworthy! Lucky for you of those that haven’t had one yet, here I am looking for love in all the right places! Just because I am looking for love though, doesn’t mean that I am desperate, I can still afford to be a little choosy on just where this Harry chooses as home. When you think of Houdini, 2 other “H” words come to mind – Harry which was the magician’s first name and Husky, which is what a lot of our breed are known as for our escape tactics. But don’t be too scared, because on the level of Houdiness from 1 to 10, I would rate myself a solid 7. That translates to me needing a solid 6ft fence that I can’t dig out under. A good way to keep me safe at home, which I will advocate strongly for, is to be an inside dog and only head outside when you want to come out with me and play a bit or for toilet time. Ideally, what I am looking for is a home where one or more people are homebodies like me. Whether you work from home, are retired or just don’t get out much doesn’t matter to me, just as long as you are there with me lots. I have met kids and while I can take them in small doses, I tend to get up and move away from them if they make too much noise or crowd me. A home with people teenage or older would be ideal. I do have some issues with loud noises and swinging items like broom sticks, so my people will need to be mindful of that and let me know everything is ok. My interactions with other dogs have been quite hit and miss. I just can’t decide who and what I like so have been living the lone wolf lifestyle. I have met some smaller dogs out and about and I don’t mind being the bigger man. With careful introduction I may be able to live with a smaller dog who can hold their own, but definitely no cats! Gotta keep the mind and body sharp you know and the best way to do that is to hit the pavement. I love my daily 4km walks and like to mix it up with some bush hikes and some suburban strolls. Maybe I am just the motivation you need to get out there and enjoy life a little more! Is it time you added a Husky named Harry to your life? Well now is your chance, so please follow the link to my online application - www.shamroq.org.au/adoption Photos by Pawtrait Purrfection

Harley

Alaskan Malamute x Siberian Husky

Looking for love

What do you see when you think Harleys? Head turning, loud, not for the faint hearted and something most people want but not everyone should have? Yes, that too sums up this pretty little canine version. I may not be a dreamy motorcycle, but I am a one of a kind furry best buddy. You may see my stunning Charlotte Reeves Photography photos here and think butter would not melt in my mouth. Well get to know me and you will see that is not always the case. As a youngster I was passed around and until now have never really had a home that understood my breed or gave me the time and dedication I required. My foster family has done the hard yards though, and my training is not something that can be let go by the wayside. When I came to meet my foster peeps, I didn’t really like other dogs. Well it wasn’t so much that I didn’t like them, I just didn’t know how to go about being friends with them. Now being in a home with 5 other big dogs, I have gotten a lot better at it! I still struggle meeting new friends out on walks and in dog parks though, so my socialisation training is ongoing. Funny thing is, I must have another medium to large doggy companion in my new home for company. I should confess that cats are a delicacy on my menu so my new home can not have feline inhabitants. I am still very much a bouncy puppy. Especially when I want your attention. It is hard to ignore me when I am jumping up to be right in your face! This too is something my foster family have been working hard on, but I won’t suit a home with any children younger than early teens, just in case I forget my manners. My bouncing does extend to jumping up on the fences if there is something I want to see on the other side, so fences in my new home will need to be around 6ft with no gaps underneath. Aside from my training, there are a couple of things I can’t live without. Food and exercise being top of the list. Believe me you want this little treasure tired and content! Things like food puzzles, training treats and daily walks are all favourites. Be sure not to feed me around other dogs though. Like I said, Harleys are lusted over by many, but there are only so many people that can handle the beast! I do promise though, if you can dedicate time and effort to me, I will be that memorable beauty you will talk about for many years to come. I should say that I feel an arctic experienced home will be best for me. If that might be you, please go to www.shamroq.org.au/adoption Photos by Charlotte Reeves Photography

Skyla

Alaskan Malamute Mix

Looking for love

Yep it’s that time again, adoption profile time!! And once again it has become apparent that the author behind my short biography here is having a mental blank. So here comes that old chestnut, Urban Dictionary. Once again, we have consulted our online oracle, and they have provided. How do they do that? Anywho…. “Skyla's are generally insecure. But a Skyla is also a very fun person to be around. They are loud and hyper and light up the entire room with a simple smile. People normally find a Skyla naturally funny.”……. Being left at the pound will do that to a girl like me, but my foster family have shown me love and I am starting to leave all of that behind. I often play the clown at home and my reward is the sweet laughter of my people. Little people laughter is the best, but they should be school aged or older to withstand my moments of craziness.A Hyper is a natural arctic trait in us young ones, and to keep me safe and secure at home I will need 6ft fences that can’t be dug under. “If you meet a Skyla get to know her she will be a great friend sometimes they come across as mad or like they don't like you but don't judge by that set down and get to know her.” ……Well that is almost true, ‘cept I have never hated anyone or anything. Oh maybe that dog that picked on me at the dog park and I gave a piece of my mind! All other dogs that are nice to me are instantly friends, and I will need to have a doggy brother or sister at home to match my high activity levels and love of rough arctic play. Ah yeah cats too, I don’t hate them but they are fun to chase and stuff so keep them at a safe distance. “Everyone thinks she a dramatic little princess but really she is sweet and funny. She doesn’t need Mountain Dew to go crazy cuz she is (in a good way). “….. Let’s not beat around the bush here, I am active and love life. I need daily walks or runs and don’t really have an off switch. I will happily settle by you to catch up on who the Honey Badger picks on the Bachelor every week though. Gotta love me a bit of the Badge! “Skyla's are wonderful, quizzical people. There are not enough Skyla's in the world.”…. There is only one way to fix this people, because if we suit each other then I can be in your world by going to www.shamroq.org.au/adoption Photos by Charlotte Reeves Photography

Atreyu

Alaskan Malamute Mix

Looking for love

You may know Atreyu as the young warrior character that the child Bastian reads about in the classic The Neverending Story. Well, the time has come for this young namesake to go out into the world and also seek his true destiny and find adventure. No battles have ever been won alone though, families and friends are a warrior’s best ally. This is where you come in. On my new adventure, I must have a Falkor. A very best canine friend who I can be me with. One who can match me in size and love of play and join me on adventures to the dog park and other fun places. There are no cat like characters in the Neverending story, but I am open to giving it a go. Of course lots of care should be taken on introductions. Bastian brought me to life in the Neverending Story, and at home children have that effect on me too. I love kids of school age or older who love to play with me in the yard and just hang out with. All warriors need some rest to recharge, and my favourite place to do that is by my people’s feet as they sit down to watch evening TV. Adventures must be chosen carefully, and at my tender age I don’t always make the wisest decisions. To keep me from finding my own solo adventures and getting into trouble in places like the Swamps of Sadness I will need secure 6ft Sphinx Gate and fences with nothing against them to give me a leg over. With being the Southern Oracle for such a young mind, comes great responsibility. I am full of energy and adventure so will be best suited to a family that has a lot of time, energy, love and guidance to give me. I could keep going on and on but then it would become the Neverending Story (ahhhhhhhh-ahhhhhhh-ahhhhhhhhhh…..) To place your interest in having this faithful young warrior by your side and live in your Ivory Tower, please go to www.shamroq.org.au/adoption . Photos by Hairypants Photography

Loki

Siberian Husky

Quintessential Husky!

There is always that one guy. Ladies you know the one. Eyes that make you swoon and a face you just want to grab with both hands so you can kiss on the nose. One look and you are in love. But then you get to know them a little. They open their mouth and sometimes aren’t always the smartest one in the pack. They act a little cocky and make you shake your head. Funny thing is, you still love them, maybe a little bit more than before, even though now you don’t want to grab their face to kiss it, you want to shake them a little to get with the program…. Well peeps, if that person was in fact a dog, they would be Loki here! Don’t get us wrong. He is what we call a lovable jerk. Emphasis on the lovable. Loki just loves people, especially those who are his very own. He needs to be where you are and won’t be real impressed about being locked outside. But don’t worry, he’ll be sure to let you know! Any people in the home should be school aged or older, only because our little man here is a bit of a typical jumpy Husky! Car rides come in a close second to things at the top of Loki’s favourites list. You see there are people in cars and they also take you to fun places to walk and run. Walks are probably third on this list we speak of. No one likes to be alone, so the Lokester here would like another dog at home for company. This is where the jerk bit comes in. They should be medium sized or larger and match his love of husky play. Loki isn’t backwards in coming forward so will need a dog who can understand his play initiation rituals and not be offended by a love bite on the ear which is meant to be the playtime signal. Jerks also like to be steal food, so any other dogs in the house will need their own place for dinner and treat times, just to keep the peace! Small dogs, chickens and cats are on Loki’s no can do list unfortunately. For those of you who know Huskies, you know that they can have some escape tendencies. Loki is no exception and his paws are his weapon of choice. Therefore, he will need fences of a minimum of 5ft and with concrete or another solid material buried underneath to prevent tunnelling adventures. Loki here is the epitome of the Husky breed. Cute, cheeky, lovable with a hint of challenging mixed in. It is what us arctic people get addicted to! If Loki is someone you can see yourself falling for, and you can give him what he needs in his home, then please go to www.shamroq.org.au/adoption for his online application.
