Hello, I decided to finally join the conversations here that were/are so helpful with adopting my own husky. Caper is a 6month old puppy re-home and has been adjusting well to our home during the past 3 weeks. I honestly think that I got lucky in that he's quite the opposite of the out-of-control, destructive, hyperactive pup I was expecting through researching the breed! Might be too soon to say though - honeymoon phase? I'm looking forward to sharing stories and pics here, and learning from others who share their lives with these amazing dogs! Here he is enjoying his belly rub and looking innocent:

Welcome and thanks for adopting! you could have gotten lucky but you will know for sure after about 3 months, thats about how long a rescue takes to really settle in to the new home. Glad you joined and we look forward to pictures and updates!

Welcome I agree with Jennifer it takes 3 months or more for a rescue to really settle in and the real personality to come out.

Thanks for rescuing her. She is a really a cutie.

Welcome! You're right in that it could be the honeymoon phase, but you could have gotten a great husky too! Just be prepared for all outcomes and you'll be fine

Caper is SO HANDSOME! I love him!

Thanks for the welcome

I'm sure as he gets more comfortable the true Caper will come out. As an example, he was a silent doggie for the first 2 weeks and is now starting to use a short but loud "woo" once or twice a day to say "hey that's mine!" to the other dog or "Get up, I need to pee!" So I am definitely still bracing myself for some more husky-ness. Also can't wait to see him at full size - at 6 months he's already 56lbs :O Seems like he will be on the big side!
