Hi everyone,

Due to certain circumstances, we need to find our 3 year old Siberian Husky "Sampson" a new home. We rescued Sampson about 2 years ago, and he had some minor behavioral issues, like being withdrawn and not showing the husky type friendliness that we all know and love; but he was never aggressive or harmful to any members of the family (we have a few toddlers running around). Over time he has really come out of his shell and now you wouldn't think that he ever had issues becoming friendly with people. So why would we need to find him a new home? The problem is with our husky we had prior to getting Sampson.

Our husky that we introduced sampson to is another older male; his name is Flash, and he is the most friendly and loving dog when it comes to people. When it comes to sampson, it is a very different story. Flash has an extreme alpha type personality and that will lead to fighting and will bring about bad behaviors in both dogs, but especially in sampson; mainly in the form of digging out, destroying our fence, ignoring the invisible fence, peeing in the house, the list goes on and on.

We have tried every solution, even had a behavioral therapist for dogs come and try to help us, but nothing has really changed. So here we are. We have posted and asked friends if they can take him, and we've tried a few overnight stays but none have been a good fit. So we would like to know if there are any husky rescues in the Northern Virginia area that we could turn to, or if anyone here is looking for a great husky! We have more pictures and info available upon request.
