This big fella was originally a stray in a Missouri pound - and when his family didn't come for him, that reached out to a few rescues in Iowa to take him in and find a new forever family.  He was given the name Sirius before making it to Safe Haven....but we quickly figured out his name was likely given to him because of his striking blue eyes.  "Sirius" is a greek name meaning "glowing"  and is also the name of the brightest star in the sky.  "Sirius" is also a popular character in Harry Potter that could turn into a dog - so we agree this name is perfect for our pretty unique new dog. His breed is a guess, but those big blue eyes and thick coat certainly make us think he is part Husky.

Sirius is a big, solid fella that seems to love everyone he meets.  We aren't quite sure if he gets along with other dogs yet, he does seem a bit reactive, but may be okay if properly introduced.

We do know Sirius would love a fenced in yard or someone to jog with, as he is a very active fella and is happiest when he gets lots of exercise.  He is a smart dog, knows a few basic commands and seems very willing to learn.  He really wants to find "his person" to bond strongly with and will provide a lifetime of love and devotion!  

** UPDATE 1/16/21  - Sirius was adopted 5 months ago from Safe Haven. His family reports that he is a great dog that loves long walks and snuggling on the couch! What he doesn't like is being woken up.....he will growl if you wake him up. Unfortunately this behavior escalated in his adoptive home, and when one of the kids hugged a sleeping Sirius, he did react - he was startled and did bite the kid :( So Sirius was returned to Safe Haven and is looking for a dog savvy home that can respect the space that Sirius needs when sleeping.
