Husky Havoc RRT: page 1 of available dogs

Husky Havoc RRT

Name: Katy (a.k.a. Lil Fox)
Breed: Siberian Husky-Australian Cattle Dog mix
Sex: female (spayed)
Age: c. 6 - 9 months
Height: 18" at withers
Weight: 35 lbs (she's thin but when healthy, she won't be over 45 lbs)
Coat Color: mahogany red with white blaze on her chest and merle paws (red and white
    speckled fur). Her tail was docked by a previous owner. Uniquely beautiful, she looks
    like a red fox.
Eye Color: amber
Physical Health: Katy is currently being treated for "kennel cough" with antibiotics and
    cough medicine. Since this is a highly contagious disease, she will not be released to a
     family until the infection clears up (estimate: 10-14 days). She also needs to gain a few
     pounds.
Current Vet Care: She is in quarantine at her foster home and on doxycycline for the
   kennel cough. She has been spayed, vaccinated, and flea-dipped.
Temperament: affectionate! She just wants to play with toys then cuddle with a
   family. Very curious and intelligent, she likes to figure things out for herself. We're
   still getting to know her, but her affectionate nature shines through from the start.
   She loves to tuck her muzzle under your chin and just lean against you while you
   scratch her belly. Though her tail was docked (amputated), she still wags it to the
   point of wiggling the entire back half of her body. She's happy playing tug with you
   and a rope toy, and equally happy cuddling with you on a couch. Rides well in cars,
   but does require a seatbelt type harness.
Heartworm test: negative; on monthly preventative (revolution)
Flea & tick: on monthly preventative (revolution)
UTD on shots? yes: DHLPPL / 1 year Rabies / Bordetella
Housetrained? yes
Cratetrained? yes
Leashtrained? yes
Harness trained? no
Good with dogs? unknown yet as she's still in quarantine
Good with cats? unknown yet
Good with kids? unknown yet
Known Commands: Sit, Wait, Leave It, Kennel Up
Sledding Potential: unknown but seems like she'd have strong agility potential
For more, see her on Dogster.com and on Petfinder.com
History: We know nothing about her history other than what we can deduce from her
   behavior and appearance. She must have had a home at some point because she's
   well socialized and underwent an elective surgery to have her tail docked. We don't
   know how or why she wound up being caught in Cleveland by the dog warden. She
   was taken to the Cuyahoga County Kennel on June 11, 2010. We took her into foster
   on July 2.
Ideal Owner: Katy will need an active family with room to run. Thanks to her
   intelligence, she'd have great potential to be trained in sports like flyball or agility.
