Her name is "Willow" and aside from having a sorta gay name is a great dog. My wife and I took her in Friday with the goal of adopting her from the Siberian Husky Rescue League as a playmate for our German Sheppard who has been nothing but despondant since our other dog died last month.

Well Willow is a great dog but doesn't get along with other dogs and our Sheppard is getting way too old to be dealing with battles of wills from 1 1/2 year old dogs that think they are in charge. They got into it earlier today and that was the end of that. It's my dogs house and she doesn't need to put up with any bullshit.

That said Willow is a wonderful dog for anyone who doesn't already have pets. Completely submissive to me and my wife. Housebroken and knows the basics like sit, stay, paw, lie down, etc. Very affectionate and needs a good home desperately.

She was originally owned by a woman who had a cat. Willow killed the cat, she doesn't get along with and play well with other animals. If you already have a dog or cat (unless it his huge) pass on this dog as you will have problems. The woman was then going to put her down for killing her cat but a neighbor intervened and took the dog in. Then came hurricane Frances so they neighbor gave her up because he had no place to take her (shelters won't take dogs). The Siberian Husky Rescue League took her in and have been looking for a home for her ever since.

Willow is the first dog on the list at link.

She is going back to the rescue vet in Ft. Lauderdale monday.

My wife and I are heartbroken because we thought we found a good friend for our Sheppard and would be able to give a dog in need a good home at the same time. The saddest part of all is I can tell Willow has never had it so good and more comfortable than she ever has been in her life and won't leave my side. That pic is of her behind my chair where she has been all night.

Now the rescue league has a bunch of dumb rules (home inspections and referrences needed) but it is worth it. If you have been thinking about or looking for a dog this one is great.

If I didn't have a dog and three cats already I would be on my way to pick her up.

Quoted: i have 3 huskies,they are very rowdy dogs.my 3 if you didn't know them when they play you would think they where trying to kill each other.they do play hard,but they do not hurt each other.as soon as someone walks out they look at you like they are not doing anything. the rescue does the home inspections because huskies are not good in door dogs (there is exceptions)and they will run on you no matter how well train you think they are.i have a 5 foot chain link fence and they will litterly go through the fence to get out.not over but thru it. the rescue will find a good home.but if you find someone to take it make sure they know alot about huskies.

If all this one did was play rough I'd still have a Husky. This one drew blood. Only reason I still have a dog is German Sheppards don't take a bunch of shit unanswered. If I didn't break them up pronto one of them would have gotten very fucked up.

This one (the Husky) is a great indoor dog. Absolutely loves my couch. Hasn't tried to escpape the yard or anything when walked can't wait to come inside and get spoiled. Will make somebody a great pet.

AM bump.

Spent the night with the dog in the living room (wife didn't want our dog bothered in the bedroom and I didn't want Willow to have to sleep alone in a stange place, etc.) While Huskies are not known for "security" dogs this one has good instincts. Heard every single tiny house noise and investigated all night.

And once she bonded with a family I'm certain she would become quite protective of them.

Bumped cause pooch needs a good home.

If you worked for one of these rescue organizations you would find that these "dumb rules" are needed for the "dumb" people who should not be owning animals. These rescue dogs have been through enough and do not need to be dumped off after the new owners can't handle them after 6 months.

I agree with you and do understand that.

I was just forwarning any interested parties.

A lot of people have the mindset that is shouldn't be so complicated to save a dog and I was simply addressing those people.
