🇺🇸 Today, on Veterans Day, we honor the brave men and women who have served our country, along with the loyal and dedicated canine veterans who have been their companions in service. To all who have sacrificed, whether on two legs or four, we are endlessly grateful for your courage and resilience.

At Husky Haven of Florida, we know that strength, loyalty, and love are qualities we hold dear—and our veteran dogs exemplify that spirit just as much as their human counterparts. To our veteran dogs, and to those who served beside them, thank you for your bravery and dedication.

Happy Veterans Day from all of us here and our amazing pups! 🐾💙

Hi there! I'm Saphire, a stunning tricolor Siberian Husky with sparkling blue eyes 💙✨ and a heart full of love ❤️. At just 3 years old, I'm a bundle of energy 🐾, eager to please, and always ready for adventure 🌄. My foster family says I'm a gem—just like my name!

I thrive in a home with other furry friends to play with 🐕 but might chase after smaller animals, so no cats 🐈🚫 for me! I adore my human siblings 👶🧒, though I’m learning not to jump up when I get excited (it’s hard when you’re this happy!). I have a soft spot for stuffed toys 🧸 and durable chews 🦴, and while I might be a little mischievous, I’m crate trained and fully potty trained.

I can’t wait to find my forever home 🏡 where I can share my love and joy every day!

Hi there! I’m Oaken, a stunning 1-year-old white Siberian Husky with beautiful blue eyes. I’m house trained and love cuddling—there’s nothing better than sprinting over to you, rolling onto my back, and resting my head on your lap!

I thrive in a home with other dogs since I can get a bit anxious when I’m alone. I really enjoy the company of my furry friends! I’m great on a leash and love going for walks, even if I get a little excited and want to make friends with every dog I see.

I might be a bit skittish at first, but once I trust you, I’m all about the love and affection. I have a playful side too! I howl, sing, and get the zoomies, especially when it’s playtime with my pals. I’m also a bit of a toy shredder, so my humans keep an eye on my shoes!

If you’re looking for a gentle, goofy companion who loves to cuddle and play, I can’t wait to meet you! 🐾💙

I am neutered, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped. Adopt me at https://www.huskyhavenfl.org/oaken

🐕 Simba🐕

Hi! I'm Simba! I'm a 10-year-old husky with plenty of life and love to give. Not the carefree lion you might know, but a cute and cuddly husky you definitely want to meet! And guess what? I'm available for adoption! Yes, you can bring home your very own Simba (or whatever name you choose for me - I'm not picky, I just want to be with you!).

I'm great on a leash, not food aggressive, and best of all, I don't destroy things around the house like some others might. I'm the most laid-back and chill boy you'll ever meet. I just want to relax with my humans.

I get along with all the other dogs and am a perfect gentleman. I'm housebroken, crate trained, up to date on my shots, microchipped, and neutered.

My adoption fee is $275

Hi, I'm Sansa, a charming 6-year-old Husky with mesmerizing sky-blue eyes! I'm a gentle soul who loves to be near my humans, whether it's sitting quietly by your side while you work or keeping you company in the kitchen as you cook—I can't help but check the countertops for tasty treats!

I'm fully housebroken and crate-trained, though I'll admit, I'm not the biggest fan of my crate, but I’ll settle in with grace when needed. My favorite activities are playing tug-of-war, fetch, and going on walks—though I do tend to hold onto the ball a little longer than you might like!

I adore people and children, but I prefer to be the only pet in the house, so I can shower all my love and attention on you. I’m a bit enthusiastic on walks and might pull on the leash, but with a little patience and guidance, I know I can improve.

I'm non-destructive, well-behaved, spayed, up-to-date on all my vaccines, and microchipped. I'm just waiting for the perfect home where I can be your loyal and loving companion. I can't wait to bring joy, laughter, and warmth into your life!

😍 What a looker 😍

Hey there! I’m Lucca, a two-year-old Husky with stunning blue eyes that might just make you fall in love at first sight. I’m a friendly, silly, and happy-go-lucky kind of guy, and I’ve got a lot of love to give!

I’m housebroken, but I might leave my mark (literally) when I first arrive at your home—just a little reminder that I’m there. Don’t worry, I’m crate trained too! I might try to test you with a few cries on the first night or two, but after that, I settle in just fine.

I absolutely adore other dogs, and I’d be thrilled to have a furry playmate in my new home. Kids? No problem! I’m great with them too. When it comes to leash walking, I’m pretty good, but sometimes I get a little too excited or forget that weaving in front of you isn’t the best idea. I’m working on it, I promise!

What makes me truly special is my calm and mild-mannered nature. I love to play, but I’m also more than happy to relax and catch some Z’s. Whether we’re out for an adventure or just lounging at home, I’ll be your loyal, loving companion every step of the way. Can’t wait to meet you!

🎃🐾 Howl-O-Ween Fun with Your Husky in Florida: Tips and Tricks for a Spooktacular Season! 🎃🐾

As the temperatures cool down slightly and the festive spirit rises, it’s time to gear up for Halloween fun with your furry friend in the Sunshine State! Huskies, with their playful nature and boundless energy, can make the most out of this festive season. Here are some fun ideas to celebrate Halloween with your Husky in Florida, along with important safety tips to keep in mind.

🎃🐾 Spooky Celebrations and Activities

Costume Parade: Dress up your Husky in a fun, comfortable costume. Whether it’s a superhero cape, a spooky ghost, or a cute pumpkin, make sure the costume doesn’t restrict movement or vision. Have a mini parade in your neighborhood or join a local pet costume contest!

Beach Pumpkin Patch Visits: Take your Husky to a pet-friendly beach with a pumpkin patch event. It’s a great way to enjoy the fall weather and snap some adorable photos. Just ensure the area is pet-friendly and keep your Husky on a leash.

Trick-or-Treat Training: Teach your Husky some new tricks to show off to trick-or-treaters. Simple commands like “sit,” “stay,” or even “shake” can be a hit. Reward them with their favorite treats for a job well done.

Halloween-Themed Playdate: Organize a playdate with other dogs. Set up a safe, enclosed area where they can play and socialize. You can even have a small agility course with Halloween decorations for added fun.

🎃🐾 Safety Tips for a Howl-O-Ween

Costume Comfort: Ensure any costume your Husky wears is comfortable and doesn’t cause overheating. Florida can still be quite warm in October, so choose lightweight costumes and avoid those with small, chewable parts that could be a choking hazard.

Keep Candy Out of Reach: Halloween candy, especially chocolate, is toxic to dogs. Make sure all treats are kept out of your Husky’s reach. Instead, have some dog-friendly treats on hand.

Decorations Safety: Be mindful of decorations like candles, string lights, and small ornaments. Curious Huskies might knock them over or chew on them, leading to potential hazards.

Identification: With the increased activity and open doors during Halloween, there’s a higher risk of pets getting lost. Ensure your Husky has proper identification, like a collar with tags and a microchip.

Calm Environment: Some Huskies might get anxious with the constant doorbell ringing and strangers in costumes. Create a safe, quiet space for your Husky to retreat to if they feel overwhelmed.

🎃🐾 Conclusion

Halloween can be a fantastic time to bond with your Husky and create lasting memories. By incorporating fun activities and being mindful of safety, you can ensure a spooktacular season for both you and your furry friend. Happy Howl-O-Ween, Florida!

Hi, I’m Hardy! I’m a 3-year-old Husky who’s had a rough start, but I’m ready for a fresh beginning with a loving family. I was pulled from a shelter just in time and had to be shaved because of severe matting. But don’t worry—when my fur grows back, I’ll be one stunning Husky!

I’m housebroken and crate trained, though I’m not a fan of the crate and might whine a bit because I’d rather be near you. I have lots of energy and love being around people, but sometimes I get a little too excited and might jump up to say hello, so I might be too much for small kids. I’m still learning how to be comfortable around other dogs, so I need slow introductions and patience.

I enjoy walks and do well on a leash, though I can’t resist chasing squirrels. I’m affectionate, goofy, and love being involved in whatever you’re doing. You’ll find me splooting, chasing my tail, or enjoying a good chew on my bone. I’m also good in the car and don’t mind baths!

I know I need to work on some things, like manners with other dogs and making sure I only chew on my toys, but I’m worth the effort. Despite everything I’ve been through, I’m full of love, sweetness, and excitement for life. I’m looking for a patient family who will help me learn and love me unconditionally. Could that be you?

I’m neutered, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped.

❤ Senior Alert ❤

I'm a handsome Husky around 14 years old, neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, and microchipped. When I first arrived, I was so shut down that I slept for three days straight. It was clear that the trauma from being abandoned hit me hard—I barely ate and was just skin and bones. But over time, I slowly started to come out of my shell. After two and a half weeks, I've become a true member of the family, and I'm slowly gaining weight and looking much healthier.

At first, it seemed like I was ignoring everything around me, but my human realized that I'm mostly deaf. I can only hear very loud noises, so I like to stay close and be a bit of a shadow. I'm pretty smart, though, and I've learned to understand basic hand signs and commands. I'm usually quiet, but like most Huskies, I can get vocal when the mood strikes.

I'm housebroken, non-destructive, and have very little prey drive. I'm also good with cats, very affectionate, and I love being petted and cuddled. For my age, I'm still pretty active and enjoy going on long walks. I'm great on a leash with only minimal pulling, and I get along well with other dogs. However, I wouldn't be the best match for small children since I'm sometimes a bit unsteady on my legs and could get hurt around them. I think as I continue to gain weight, I'll become more stable.

Overall, I'm in good health and would make a wonderful companion for someone looking for a loyal and loving friend.
