Yana is a super typical husky female. She's very silly, playful, and independent. Yana has a middle-of-the-road temperament with a low-moderate activity level. She's got the husky beauty and drama, but is not a noisy backtalker like your typical husky. Yana is perfectly happy doing what Yana wants, which is almost always something sweet and funny. Most of the time, she just ignores other dogs; she simply prefers human company. She thinks she's a lap dog and will be content to lay next to you on the couch. She'll be most successful if she's placed as an only dog so she can be the center of attention. Yana has some food resource guarding behavior, so while she was indifferent to the cats, we wouldn't want to see them try to steal her food! She's got a household conversational vocabulary, but has very little interest in commands like sit, down, etc. She has a low level of energy and needs no specific exercise, but she does need to be in a home with an enclosed yard where she can do her thing until she's good and ready to come in. She'll usually come when she's called in, but sometimes she'll give you a Husky stare and she's just not gonna do it. She would likely do well with a single person or couple who has little interest in dog bars or big dog buddy gatherings, and prefers quiet walks in the woods. She'll do best with a quiet, kind person who has some dog sense and is a confident handler. Yana walks well on a leash and enjoys her time out. Her new family should expect a honeymoon period where she's good as gold before she starts to push her new person's buttons to see what they're made of. She really is a very sweet dog, so husky people should really enjoy her. Yana is approx. 3 years old and about 65lb. She was heartworm positive, but has completed her treatment and is now waiting patiently for her forever home. Yana has completed a board and train program to work on manners and basic obedience, but will still need a fenced yard since she will not come back should she get loose. She will be in South Carolina with our boarding partner until she has an approved adopter or foster in New England. Please note: The information provided is based on our Southern partner's feedback we have been given as of the day of posting. HHAR does not guarantee the breed mix of any dog or adult size of any puppy. Any breed(s) listed are the veterinarian’s opinion based the information they have, usually mixes of many breeds, making them a breed all their own - a Super mutt! All dogs are up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations and spayed/neutered at the time of adoption. Any dog adopted from HHAR will require professional training once adopted to become the best family member they can be. Our dogs are rescued from high-kill situations in the South and brought to New England for foster and/or adoption. We are entirely volunteer-run and foster-based, so we do not have a physical facility for you to visit or call, and we cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken, crate trained, or cat/kid tested. To adopt or learn more about this dog, you must fill out an adoption application. To learn more about our shelterless rescue, adoption fees, and procedures, review the list of Frequently Asked Questions on our website. Pre-approved adopters can arrange a meet and greet for dogs over 6 months old who already in New England, and the adopter is expected to travel to the dog's location. Applications must be submitted at HarveysHope.org for consideration. We estimate it can be up to a week before you hear from one of our volunteers, depending on volume at the time of submission. Thank you!
