About Osprey

Soft as silk, Osprey will bring more to her future family than meets the eye! Osprey is a young Siberian Husky lady at about 4 years of age and weighs about 50lbs, and is looking for a moderately active family to shower her with all the affection she deserves! Osprey knows that she is a queen, and is looking for the royal treatment from her new family - primarily, for her, that means being the only dog in the home. When out and about for walks, she prefers to not be around other dogs, so asks for a dog-park free life and an owner who is going to advocate for her if she encounters another dog while on walks. She isn't over-the-top about her displeasure with other dogs, but she just doesn't prefer to be closer than about 5 feet from a strange dog. She will happily and easily walk on leash (no pulling from her!) and really, really loves her people. If you're ready to bestow the royal treatment on a new queen, Osprey can't wait to meet you. 1) Osprey will need an experienced owner who will advocate for her in situations that make her uncomfortable. She wants a home that understands that she does NOT want to go to dog parks, dog socials, or really anywhere that there are likely to be off-leash dogs. 2) Osprey wants to be the only dog in her home. Although she came into the shelter with a male dog who she tolerates, she really just would rather have her own space. On walks, if a dog is too close, she will chatter at them and let it be known that SHE is the boss, so needs an owner who will make sure to keep her comfortable by not letting other dogs invade her personal space. 3) We don't know how Osprey will be with cats or other small animals, so be sure to discuss proper introductions between Osprey and any resident small animals with your adoption counselor. Huskies are known to have a higher prey drive, so an experienced owner would be best. 4) Due to her desire to be the queen of her home, Osprey would likely do best in a home where any children present are at least 13 years of age. She requests that she be taken on walks by adults who will advocate for her if she is uncomfortable.
