Sakari
Siberian Husky, male
Sakari was pulled from Almost Home Humane Society for another rescue group. They didn't have space for him and he turned out to be quite a nice older fellow. He loves attention and although he does well leading a sled he doesn't run off like Huskies typically do. (He does run but not with the typical drive of a Husky...and he's always returned before visiting adjacent counties.)
adoption
Sakari has lived in the kennel for months but he is living with Kitty and Kyler and five other dogs. He usually does well but it seems like he would excel in a home where he can get more individual attention. He's looking for a home where he can curl up on the couch and watch TV then settle on the end of the bed for the night.
2008-03-07: fosters start CGC/TD class by Kyler Laird
Last night Aries, Gus, Marley, Sakari, and Sunny got a little exercise and then started the Canine Good Citizen/Therapy Dog class at Klondike Canine Academy with help from their handlers, Waynetta, Mary, Kitty, Jennifer, and Kyler.
Sakari did a beautiful job for Kyler, largely working off-lead getting a lot of "click-and-treat" for eye contact in sits and downs. Gus was his typical calm and quiet cream puff for Jennifer. The doodles, Marley and Sunny, were excited handfuls for Kitty and Mary. Aries was highly treat motivated but Waynetta succeeded in keeping all of her fingers intact.
We look forward to more training sessions and are interested in working with "guest trainers" who would like to learn along with the dogs.
2008-08-08: NLSDR home visit by Kyler Laird
The family who adopted Sakari had planned to get a puppy and now that they're in their new house they located a Malamute mix in a litter handled by Northern Lights Sled Dog Rescue. Of course their application was sent to me for a home visit and I was delighted to do it. It was a big treat to see Sakari. I had a hard time taking my eyes off of him. He seemed so relaxed and "at home" there. I've been especially relieved that Sakari has developed a good relationship with the cat. They even play together!
