BLIZZARD

Blizzard is a breathtakingly beautiful boy who's personality is joyous and friendly, dispite the dire circumstances of his rescue. Blizzard and his housemate, Brigitte, were found by Good Samaritans, locked in a car during a recent heat wave. The vehicle was quickly becoming an oven in the 82 degree heat, as passersby desperately called 911 to have the dogs released before they're grizzly fate was sealed.

 


Police were able to break into the car, and release the dogs, who were then transported to a local shelter for some much needed hydration. Oddly, shelter personnel were not able to contact their owners, so the dogs were released to us for a chance at a better life.

Blizzard is an estimated four year old, all white Siberian Husky, with iridescent blue eyes. His appearance is striking and unique. While normally, we think that Huskies are a challenging breed, best served by savvy experienced adopters, and Blizzard is typical Husky.  He has not had much leadership in his former home, and is used to calling the shots, and protecting his beautiful Brigitte.  We found his Alpha wannabe vibe easy to redirect into an obedience sequence, and found him a joy to train.  He does need a firm handler, who exerts calm, assertive leadership to continue him down the path to Canine Good Citizenship.

 


Blizzard has a transcendant vibe that would appeal to the novice Husky lover. He has adjusted beautifully to his foster home, and has been a joy to handle. He loves human touch and affection, and when he recently visited our Groomer, who has handled many of our more difficult Huskies, Blizzard received numerous accolades.

Blizzard would be a fantastic companion to an active single or couple, who can provide a fair amount of exercise and leadership. He is friendly to all, easy to handle and tolerant of other dogs. He would excel in any only dog home, or he could join a multi-dog home, with other well mannered dogs, who have a structured pecking order. He would not be a good choice for homes with would cats or kids. 


Blizzard is extremely smart, and is an obedience natural. Sometimes we find Huskies aloof and tricky to focus in training, but Blizzard adapted to his obedience sequence like a champion. He quickly mastered his sit-stay and down-stay, and delighted his trainer with his merry progress. Blizzard has the potential to go all the way to Canine Good Citizenship, and will surely pass the test with flying colors. Adopters should continue him on this route, since he so clearly enjoys the work.

Blizzard is in excellent health, although he is a bit under weight at 44 pounds. He should probably gain another 5 or 10 pounds to reach an ideal healthy weight. He has been neutered, and is up to date on routine shots and has tested negative for heartworm and tick borne disease.
