Update May: Juliet has been adopted!
Update: March Juliet has been in foster care learning house training and learning to adjust to new things. She is ready to go! Such a sweetie.
January 12: I stopped by the shelter today. Juliet is the only dog chained outside. So sad for her. She was loose in the giant dog yard area and that little girl was running and running. But then would come right up to me for pets and love. She has come a long way and would make a great pet for an active person. She was chasing the pigeons a bit but when one of the volunteers took her inside to see how she was with cats and rabbits she seems fine. She was touching noses with a rabbit and although she was curious about the cats meowing she didn’t seem prey driven. I hope someone active falls in love with this little girl.

I LOVE this little girl. Did I say little? She is a very petite husky. Probably 25 pounds. A tiny thing. She came into the shelter with 2 puppies that got adopted. She was spayed and is ready to be your best friend. She comes across as a bit shy, but once you get to know her, she just wants to play and be someone’s special friend. When let loose in the fenced in area she comes up to you readily. She will take a little time to truly bond with you, but in her eyes I bet that won’t take long.
She isn’t housebroken which is how she ended up outside. Just doesn’t keep her kennel clean. But with a very consistent routine of eating and drinking I know she would catch on. She deserves to live in a house. She is short coated and doesn’t want to live outside as a sled dog!!
Do you think she would be a good foster candidate? I’m thinking of talking to the shelter & seeing if I could work with her on those “necessary” indoor skills. 🙂
You can always ask. She is just a darling and doesn’t tromp through her stool outside. I think with consistency and taking her out on a regular basis, she would catch on quickly.

I picked Juliet this weekend for Foster :-), she has done very well with the potty issue, but is still scared of the “house” noises, in particular, our noisy old furnace. She absolutely loves running & playing in the fenced in yard, not good at coming back in yet, I am just happy she is here & learning all the new things that will enhance her chances of being an indoor & outdoor pup!! 🙂 I will keep you posted on her progress 🙂
She is a smart little girl. I have a person interested in her and they will go through the desk at the shelter, hopefully this week. Glad you are working with her. Thanks for the update.
Carol
so glad you took her.
Hi Carol! I picked up Juliet yesterday for foster, she is adjusting well, she is unsure of of all the “house” noises, our old furnace is a bit loud when it kicks on, but she is getting used to it. She loves playing outside & I intend on letting her spend lots of time outside today, so far, we haven’t had any “accidents” in the house, I think with the inside – outside consistency she Will catch on quickly.
She Is really Sweet, just want to be a friend.I will keep you posted on her progress, she doesn’t seem to know her name, so we’re already working on that & the “come” command. 🙂 she’s smart, she’ll get it 🙂
Hi Carol,
Juliet is a sweetie. I’d like to meet her and learn a bit more about her.
Let me know what works.
