FOSTER CARER REQUIRED
Darby is a beautiful 6-year-old Siberian Husky with a gentle nature and a heart full of love. With her striking brown and white coat and calm personality, she is quite unlike the typical high-energy husky many people expect.
From the moment you meet Darby, her sweet temperament shines through. She happily approaches for a pat and enjoys being close to her people. She is affectionate without being demanding and loves nothing more than relaxing in the sunshine or curling up for a cuddle indoors.
Darby has lived with children, including newborn babies, and is very calm around them, generally choosing to quietly coexist rather than seek attention. She sleeps inside and is accustomed to having access to both the house and yard.
While Darby can be a little anxious at times, she responds well to calm and confident handling. She knows several basic commands including sit, stay, lay down and go to bed. She is not currently polished on lead walking and would benefit from some continued guidance and consistency.
Darby has previously spent time off lead in secure areas and would generally stay close to her owner, checking in regularly. She can be nervous during storms.
In the home, Darby is a remarkably relaxed husky. During her assessment she calmly sat beside visitors, enjoyed affection and showed a very easy going nature. She was observed greeting people politely without jumping up or becoming overexcited. Those who have met her describe her as one of the most chilled huskies they have encountered.
There have been some concerns raised about possible food guarding behaviours, however these have not been fully assessed and may be linked to anxiety or uncertainty. For this reason, we feel Darby would be best suited to a foster home initially, where her behaviour can be properly evaluated and supported if needed.
Darby has never shown aggression towards adults, children or other dogs, and has no history of biting. She does not dig, escape, climb fences or create problems around the home.
Due to significant family circumstances, her owner has made the difficult decision to seek a new home where Darby can receive the time, attention and companionship she deserves.
Darby is looking for a calm, loving foster home willing to help her settle, build confidence and show her what life can be like with support. We believe that with the right environment, she will make a wonderful companion.
