she's in the process of being adopted at the SPCA :)

??? spca doesn't euthanized their dogs, unless the dog is not adoptable. I'm pretty sure They just cycle the dog around other spca centers around bc.


Ps I use to be a volunteer at this specific shelter.


But anyway i hope she finds a good home. Very cute dog.

They probably could if they get too crowded?

[StylinRed]

who wouldnt want a husky!


shame the description makes it sound like this particular one is a handful

[LP700-4]

All huskys are a handful. They start howling whenever they want, so much energy in them 24/7/365.

But can be properly trained and once they are, they're awesome dogs to have.

Some shelters have no kill policies, others don't, perhaps the status of this one has sadly changed.

I have no intention of hijacking this thread, but I would like everyone reading it to please learn from the present example. Animals are not fashion accessories, a working breed like a Husky will not conform well to a urban Vancouver lifestyle. Robin was bred to work, pulling dog sleds for hours a day with intense mental stimulation. Without sufficient exercise acting out is inevitable because she will have to much energy, just like the way a child would behave after being given sugar or caffeine. Before you buy a dog, research the breed and buy one you are capable of caring for, otherwise you may cost an innocent animal it's life.

I don't have tons of money to spare, I'm a student, but if someone adopts this dog I will donate a bit of money to help cover the adoption fee. I'd give her a home myself, if I could.

so shes not pure?

[MindBomber]

so shes not pure?

Owning a purebred isn't an important concern for an average owner, if you aren't planning on showing the animal CKC paperwork should not be a prerequisite to adoption. To the average person, papers would generally be an assurance of good genetic lines and mitigate concerns of future health problems, but a certification of health from a vet would be good as well!

[trip]

so shes not pure?

website says "husky cross" so she may be purebred or she could be a cross. there may not have been any registered papers supplied..

i dont think a piece of paper should tell you how much more you should love your dog

She's too cute! I've always wanted a husky just like her - such a shame I'm not allowed to have pets at my place.

I hope a loving family takes her!

[seakrait]

I saw her yesterday when we visited the SPCA. She was pretty cute, sitting nicely, trying to gently gnaw on my gloves through the gate. Too bad I live in an apartment. :(

We were there to check on a smaller dog but that dog was already in the adoption process. :(

We've been visiting pretty regularly lately, our place is pretty quiet ever since our dog passed away late last year.

[Porschedog]

I hope someone adopts her asap!

[Manic!]

so shes not pure?

Neither is the president of the USA.

[Spartacus]

pure bred dogs tend to have higher chance of health problems. So her being a cross-breed is a good thing =)

[HonestTea]

VERY cute dog!

[jackal]

ugh... i want her so bad... my pom could use a friend as she also has abandonment issues. might have to make a phone call tomorrow to ask a few questions.

[b0unce. [?]]

very cute dog! someone adopt her!

side note, anyone else read jackal's post "my porn could use a friend..." :pokerface:

I wish I could take her.. I've always wanted a husky.

I've also heard they're quite the handful.. But I'm sure they can be tamed..

[TheNewGirl]

Please tell your friend to contact a huskey rescue society. They may be willing to take the dog from the SPCA and put it into one of their own foster homes.

[taylor192]

Love these dogs, yet as others have pointed out they are a handful. My brother had one when we lived in the country, which was good cause these dogs need room to run - when left alone they howl and it can be heard from a long way away - definitely not suited for urban Vancouver.

Oh man... heart breaking. There are a lot of dog lovers here on RS, someone PLEASE step up!!

As most of you know, I just adopted a puppy giving me a total of 3 dogs at home. I would love to assist in training this dog to whomever decides to adopt her!



ALSO, OP:

If you seriously have no alternative, you can probably bring the dog to the Richmond Animal Shelter. They are a no-kill shelter and will take care of the dog until they can find a suitable owner.

Please neuter your dogs!!

[trip]

let me make clear that this is not my dog and i am trying to get the word out to help her find a home. i would love a husky, however, i already have two dogs and 2 cats and not enough room for a third pup or the time that will be needed to care for her


:(

[Excelsis]

agh, damn complex house rules, no pets

but maybe if i train her to not make any noise then maybe i can keep her..

:accepted:

[swfk]

I'm at the shelter right now and my gf and I were considering adopting her. The manager of the shelter then became very curious and asked my gf and I to go into her office. They wondered how we found out and I told them about this thread and they said the info for Robin's adoption is also on Facebook and it is false. Dogs at the shelter will not be euphanized at all. In fact the shelter does not euphanize any pets. The shelter has been receiving phone calls from people complaining that they euphanize when they don't. All dogs stay until they get adopted. The shelter is upset about the wrong information being passed around.

On a good note, there are two applications for Robin! One is being processed and Robin should be going to a new home in the next few days! Another application is a backup in case the first one doesn't go through.

She's a cute one and I'm glad she's going to a good home! :]

thank you for updating and letting us know. i was very upset to hear that they would euthanize a 9 month old pup.

i am glad she is going to be finding a home and that they dont put down dogs.

[TheKingdom2000]

Weird, I thought adopting a dog from the SPCA or any shelter was free.
But, I guess it makes sense as these places need to make money to stay a float.

[Spartacus]

Hehe yay. That's good news.

They were actually quite upset about people spreading the wrong image for the shelter. Not trying to offend OP but OP's source was not accurate according to the shelter. They were worried people would no longer adopt pets from or drop off strays to them because of the wrong image being spread. Hope we don't have the wrong idea!

might have been kind of cool to have 2 huskies at home heh..

DO NOT EVER buy a puppy from a store.

Adopt or buy directly from a breeder, most often puppies at pet stores are sourced from puppy mills.

Yes, I know. Going to the pet store is my least favorite activity as a lot of them are clearly unhealthy due to inbreeding or the living conditions :(. I was just wondering what happens to them later on, because if they do get euthanized it becomes a little bit of a catch 22?

[bartone]

Damn, 2 applications already in?
nonetheless, I will still go tomorrow to check her out

[swfk]

I wouldn't recommend going to check her out because the shelter isnt happy with the amount of people asking about her. Or if youre serious about adoption you can just walk in through the main doors and go straight down to the hallway to the back garden sort of thing and the door will say "To Dogs". You don't really need to check in with anyone to view the dogs

[hotjoint]

Such a cute dog, my brother has a husky as well.

exactly what I did. But she was at the vet today so I didnt get a chance to take a look. They were happy to tell me the history and behaviours of the dog and all, so I'm not sure what you mean.

[trip]

she's being adopted. one of my old supervisors got in touch with a friend and they work with animals. she either is finding a home with a family or a husky shelter

and apparently the dog was going to be put down?? but with all the negative press they said they dont do that.

i dont know who to believe but she has found a home and kudos to everyone :)
