Ready to be Collared: Nikolai

 

NAME: Nikolai 

OWNER: Being fostered by Tiffany for Tails of the Tundra Siberian Husky Rescue http://www.siberescue.com/

HOW THEY MET: Nikolai’s previous family realized with a very heavy heart that they could not provide him with the best home, so they relinquished him to our care.

AGE: 1.5 years

HOME: Baltimore

BREED: Siberian Husky

BEST TRICK: Nikolai will hold an entire conversation with you! Dare you speak on the phone with someone else? He’ll make sure to throw his two cents in on the topic of conversation!

FAVORITE ACTIVITY: Snuggling under the covers with you.

FAVORITE FOOD: Frozen peanut butter!

FUNNIEST MOMENT: The first time I gave Nikolai a bath he decided he needed to go up to every person in the store and howl and whine to them his sob story about the experience.

A SOFTY FOR KIDS: Nikolai loves people and especially children. His previous home had two young kids and whenever he sees kids he goes bonkers!

IF NIKOLAI HAD A MOTTO FOR LIFE, IT WOULD BE: Play with me NOW!

We live in Canada (Peterborough, Ontario to be exact). We have two huskies (make and female) but wondered if you ever look north of the border for homes to take those huskies that have been let off the leash. We have wondered about opening our doors to an adopted husky.

About Jill Rosen
Jill Rosen is a reporter at The Baltimore Sun. During her nearly 20 years in journalism, she has covered news and features — including a surprising number of stories that involved animals. There were the dog Christmas carolers in State College, Pa. There were the hounds who toured with a production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The story of a preschool teacher at Baltimore’s Father Kolbe School who had to replace her class guinea pig, who died over the winter holiday. A harrowing tale of what it was like to make homemade pet food ...

Though her clean freak of a mother refused to allow her to get a dog, she has had a number of pets through the years, including goldfish named Bob and Fingle, a betta fish named Ichabod, a wild rat terrier named Wendel, who she shared with a roommate, and, currently, sweet, sweet kitties named Leo Sesame and Milo Pumpkin and a little rescued pup named Teddy Bean. She, Leo, Pumpkin and Teddy Bean live in Baltimore.
