SaharaWe are extremely grateful to the people that make up Adopt a Husky of Dallas. We made the trip down to Dallas (from Norman, OK) to find a companion for our 3 year old husky Chinook. Not only did we find a life-long buddy for Chinook in Sahara, but we also got a very loving, cute, and well-behaved dog. Sahara gets along with our cats perfectly. We couldn't be more happy with Sahara. Thanks! Paul T Schlatter

TimberMy father, Larry Gauthier, adopted Timber about a month ago. He wanted a Siberian Husky after we lost one of our own about five years ago. He has been stuck on the breed since, and after all the kids moved out he actually wanted a dog of his own. I was sent the website by my sister-in-law because Timber needed to find a home fast. I sent the website to my father and he fell in love with him. We drove down there and my dad spent time with him, and I could tell they bonded. We were warned that he might not get along with the cat my mom owned, and he might be a little hyper. So my father brought him home and after a month he is one of the best dogs I have ever been around. I love the breed but of all the Siberians that I have been around Timber is the calmest and smartest I have ever seen. He has a personality that is out of this world and he is definatly my dads dog. Within a week he learned how to sit and speak at command, and he is learning to get along with the cat. They can actually lay in the same room together and are fine around each other. I have never seen my dad like this around a dog, and it is wonderful. He is truly his best friend. I know he is glad he made the decision to bring Timber into his life, and I am grateful that he was able to adopt him. He has already gained weight,and found a new vet to look after his leg that was broken by the bus. He has blessed our lives The Gauthier's

CodyCody passed away peacefully April 22, 2005 with his people at his side. We adopted Cody as a special needs dog from AHDI in October, 2003. Although our vet told us he might only be with us 3-6 months, love and will kept him in our lives for over 18. He clearly enjoyed country living. His favorite activities were working on his lap dog skills, playing with our other Husky Sasha, riding in the golf cart and walks down to the lake. Only he knew why he would pull our arms out of socket to jump in the lake but would not set foot in the pool. We guess that was his contribution to the Husky Mystery. Although we are profoundly sad he is no longer with us, we will cherish the memories of our time together and the love we shared. Joe, Kathy and Sasha

CosmoWe lost our husky and three high school girls together and found Cosmo on the husky web site. They talked to my husband and brought Cosmo over one night and surprised me. We have had Cosmo for over two years and love him dearly. Thanks Adopt a Husky of Dallas for all your good work. Ron and Ruth Winkler

SampsonWhen we lost our beloved five year old husky / coyote mix girl Aspen our five year old husky / wolf boy Dawson became very depressed. He was the omega and lost without Aspen. He started to lose weight and would stress out so much he busted blood vessels in his eyes. Our vet advised us he needed a friend, we had a thought about getting another dog but were still mourning Aspen, but we knew for Dawson's sake we had to get another buddy. So we contacted Adopt a Husky of Dallas and chose a few dogs to meet Dawson. We knew he had the final say in his new buddy. Right away when Dawson and Sampson met, we knew they were meant to be together. They are joined at the hip. You can not separate them now. We never had problems with them bonding. Sampson was a wonderful addition to our home. He fits us perfectly. We love him so much and can not imagine like without him. He is omega and all husky, very playful and he thinks he is a lap dog although he's 58 pounds. Danielle and Michael Vaughn

MickeyI have two siblings that walk on two legs, Richie and Ginny. They are twins, and they love to take me on runs around the neighborhood. I have to stay on a leash, though, because that natural husky desire to go exploring still runs pretty deep. I’m a fixture at their soccer and baseball games. I also have two four-legged siblings - Sabrina, a shepherd mix who just turned 14, and Roadie, another rescue dog who’ll be 12 in July. We fought a little when I first arrived, but we quickly learned to love and play with each other. My parents say I’ve brought new life to the "other puppies". I’ve enclosed our Christmas photo. Speaking of my parents, they’re pretty neat. They’ve had huskies before, so they understand me, even though my dad calls me "Cybil" and "Goofy" at times. He’s definitely the Alpha of the house, but he can’t resist rubbing my tummy. Mom takes me for runs and plays with me during the day when my siblings are tired. I’ve got a run of the house, and while I’ve got a bed pillow on the floor in their room I sometimes pick a bed to sleep in - even theirs! I’m a pampered house dog, but I’ve also been known to sleep in my cabana when it’s a little cool outside (see the photo). I’ve been known to stand on it, too, and like most girls I talk a lot, but I’ve yet to let loose a good howl yet. My folks say I’ve got the most personality of any dog they’ve ever seen, and it all comes naturally - really, now, everyone sleeps on their back, don’t they? The reunion in Lewisville this summer was really cool. A bunch of people came up to my parents and told them stories about me - how embarrassing! I also got special recognition from the nice lady with the microphone when I put my front paws in a water bucket to cool off. Mostly it was just fun to see a bunch of smiling, happy faces of other huskies like me, and to see those incredible people who took care of me before I was adopted. Thanks to you, AHDI, I have a family that loves me and that I love with all my heart. Love, Mickey
