Calypso

This is the beautiful Siberian husky, Calypso, whom we rescued off the streets.

Unfortunately due to job loss we are losing housing and can no longer foster her so we are looking for someone to adopt Calypso or to even take over fostering her since we will not be able to keep her past April.

Multiple vets think she was on the streets for several months, and is very shy and quiet. She had to be pulled out of a heap of garbage on some lady's side yard. We posted her on forums and checked at several vets, clinics, and shelters for a chip and lost notices and after about a month we registered her while we fostered her.

Calypso is spayed and now a healthy weight and over time she has really made strides towards coming out of her shell and finding her personality. We have put her through group classes and private classes where she graduated from basic obedience training. She will follow basic commands such as sit, down, come, leave it, wait. She loves to play with the other dogs that we have in the house and loves to be outdoors, camping, and go on car rides with the windows down. She walks well on a leash with minor corrections.

She is exceptionally quiet for a husky and will only have the occasional vocalization. She hasn't been introduced to other animals or children yet. She tends to hide in dark small spaces until she is comfortable in a new environment and likes to find shelter in a crate. She is a very loving dog once she gets comfortable with you and loves to cuddle with big slobbery kisses.
