Name:  Strider

Sex:  Male

Approx. DOB:  January 2009

Weight:  Approx. 45 lbs.

Coat Color:  Black and White

Eye Color:  Blue

Energy Level:  Medium to low. Strider has yet to play much with his foster siblings in his foster home and is very laid back for a Siberian.

Personality:  Strider is new to our program so please give us time to learn about him. So far he appears much more people motivated than doggie. He loves to follow his foster Mom around the house and be by her side. He loves pets and affection and will stand there all day long while you love on him. He has been a bit abrupt with some of the male foster dogs so he may be better matched in a home as an only dog or with a female canine companion.

Good with Dogs:  Depends. Seems to do better with females.

Good with Cats:  Not tested yet but probably not as Siberians are notorious for their high prey drive and typically kill cats, rabbits, birds, squirrels, opossums, etc.

Good with Children:  Siberians are typically good with children of all ages and the only reason we would not list them as not good with kids is because they may be too energetic and bouncy and knock over a toddler.

Housetrained:  Not yet but is working on it.

Crate Trained:  Yes but he would rather not be in one.
Rides Well in Car:  Yes

Leash Trained:  Does pretty well on leash with not much pulling.

Basic Obedience:  Strider doesn't know any commands so we are working with him on basic obedience.  

Unfortunately Strider has tested positive for heartworms. We have not started him on immiticide treatments but do have him on monthly Heartguard right now.

All Southern Siberian Rescue foster dogs are microchipped, up to date on shots, spay/neutered and on monthly heartworm preventative.
