A536131

Located At: Santa Barbara County Animal Services - Santa Barbara
Description: My name is Jonah.
I am a neutered male, red and white Siberian Husky.

Age: The shelter staff think I am about 4 years old.
Weight: I weigh approximately 93.00 lbs.
More Info: I have been at the shelter since Oct 02, 2024.
I am currently in foster care. Please email sbcassouthfostercoordinator@gmail.com to learn more.

Jonah is a sweet Siberian husky/malamute with a big personality and is a
favorite among shelter staff and volunteers - exceptionally goofy, playful,
sweet, and a total cuddle bug who loves his people. 
Jonah has spent several months in foster, where he immediately thrived. At
home, Jonah is chill, independent, and adaptable. He is house trained,
non-destructive, sleeps 10+ hours overnight, and can be left at home for 6-
8+ hours (after proper exercise). He loves to nap almost as much as he
loves being with his people. He can be vocal but is not a husky howler, and
he has never shown escape tendencies. His favorite activities are walking,
visiting the beach, and receiving belly rubs.

Jonah responds best to clear behavior and predictability/consistency (in
both routine and body language). While new people or confusing behaviors
can excite him initially, it doesn’t take too long for him to observe, figure out
how this new part of his world works, and go back to his sleepy self. 

At times, Jonah has spurts of energy and excitement which can be
managed since he is very smart, and food motivated. He has already come
a long way when it comes to leash-pulling, recall, prey-drive (squirrels,
mouse, rabbits) and impulse control, and he’s still making progress.

Jonah is truly a one-of-a-kind dog who will brighten anyone’s life. He would
do best with patient, husky, or malamute-familiar adopters with an active
lifestyle, who can help keep him physically and mentally stimulated as part
of the foundation for his training progress as well managing a large, strong
dog, and advocating for Jonah’s communication style with new people. 
Jonah has so much potential and love to give. He is ready for his forever
home!
