Third time’s the charm…

Aerosmith is what you might call a boomerang dog.  He was initially picked up by Passaic Animal Control officers many months back after a call came in notifying them of a dog running at large.  His original family never came to claim him but finally a new family came along and decided to adopt him. Unfortunately old habits die hard and he kept running away from that home as well. (Huskies are notorious escape artists).  Frustrated by his antics Aerosmith’s second owners gave up on him as well.

To make things worse, this last time Aerosmith ran away he landed himself back in the shelter at the worst possible time.  The shelter was over-capacity and simply had no room to house him.  Husky rescues were contacted but they must have been overwhelmed too because there was no response.  Long story short, and a few phone calls later a new prospective family was contacted.  This family already had one Siberian Husky- a beautiful female named Storm, and they had been contemplating getting another.  They heard about Aerosmith through a family member who worked at the hospital with the Passaic Shelter veterinarian.  After making the trip from Blairstown they met Aerosmith and Storm confirmed it was indeed a perfect match.  The foursome made the trek home and have been doing great ever since.  His forever family (being familiar with the high energy of huskies and their tendency to run off) made sure his environment was safe and secure.  Truth be told though, Aerosmith spent the first two days on the couch!  He and Storm have become fast friends. The last update was that Aerosmith had started Agility classes and was having a grand old time!  Yes, it seems the third time is the charm.
