So, some of you may know that John and I have been searching for a playmate for Koda on and off. We just moved 200 miles south of our old place and are renting a house now. We were just casually looking as financially it would probably be better if we waited a couple of months. However, the best things happen when you're not looking...

My future sister-in-law called me the other day and said "Hey, there's a husky at the local shelter... you should go take a look." Not expecting anything... we went, and she was the SWEETEST dog I have ever met. A bit shy and cautious, but she was beautiful. They found her on the street x-mas morning and waited for a family that never came.

We waited a week to bring Koda, and yesterday they got along GREAT! She was calm, but the moment she saw Koda, she came to life, wanting nothing more than to play with him. Had they been offleash, I can only imagine how great they would have gotten along! The shelter loved us, and well... she's ours! She just got spayed and we're waiting for her stitches to be taken out and after I get back from my business trip in February so she's not home alone all day. We pick her up February 8th and she'll come UTD on shots, spayed and microchipped all for $30 (We'll donate more because this is a wonderful shelter!). We're really excited! We've been waiting a long time for another dog. Here are some pictures. Her name is currently Lady or Avoo (sugar in eskimo) but I think we're going to change it.





And john blowing in her face to make her howl...

I'm so exicited for you all! i hope you figure out the fence issue so they can really have at it! you will not beleive the change you will see in Koda now that he has a friend it is a great site to watch! i can't wait to see more pictures and to hear the name you pick. do they know how old she might be?

Awww, Loving the bi eyes!

Is that a parti eye I see too? I can't tell if its my computer (since I'm in class on a school computer, lol, whoops)

Jenn- she's only about a year old. I'm thinking of naming her Noel, since they found her on Christmas morning. I haven't run it by John yet though- he may find it too cheesy, but I like it

AraiNI- she has the exact opposite eye coloring of Koda. She has one brown eye, one parti, and Koda has one blue eye, one parti

Love the parti eyes! and Congrats i hope we to can find Roxy a playmate soon

Sad news... after a month, the owners came to pick her up today. Just got a call from the shelter. The guy seemed really broken up about it and said they even tried to keep her, but the owners came with pictures and documentation so he said his hands were tied

Apparently they were on vacation and the people who were supposed to watch her didn't. She ran from two towns over. Obviously I'm glad that her owners found her and she's back with people who love her, but it just doesn't make this process any easier.

John and I are really broken up about it. The shelter guy said that not for nothing but they did have a lead on another female husky who is two years old and also gorgeous. The owners want to give her up. I don't know anymore details, so I will post again tomorrow when I find out more information. This just totally sucks

Im really sorry to hear that but everything happens for a reason. Im sure itll all work out for he best and Keep your heads up

I know... I agree that everything happens for a reason... this is just twice that it's happened to us. This was before we created this forum, but John and I adopted a little girl back in March/April and we had her for a week before the owners changed their minds, called us crying and drove 14 hours roundtrip to pick her up. Some luck

!!!!!


You already know how I'm ragging about this. Hopefully this new husky girl is more promising, if you're willing to look into that. I would really get some kind of contract written up this time that if they surrender her over, it's FINAL and to deal with their mistake if they regret it. It sounds mean but enough is enough!

Aaahhh that is soooo sad, I hope you have much better luck next time, I will keep my fingers crossed for you.

That kind of pisses me off. I can't imagine the frustration you two must be feeling. We all know you're a lottery home for any dog, and that dog will come along when the time is right. Just don't be like me and keep going past two, three, four...

damn harrise...you have your own sled dog team going on there?

Tori im so sorry to hear you lost another one, but i think everyone is right and when the time comes you will get the dog that was ment for your family, sometimes it happes fast and sometimes it takes much longer. keep saving and gathering the things you need so you are ready when the time comes, cause you just never know!

Sadness
