18-11-24 Inka, previously Jody, is a beautiful girl who came to us from a breeder a few months ago, and was adopted for a short period of time but has found her way back to us as she was showing some personality traits in the home that she didn't display in kennels. Inka has lived with a large breed, male dog for most of her life and so she would need a kind and patient male in her new home that will allow her the space to be herself if she is feeling fussy, but will also allow her to rely on him for comfort and assurance as she settles into her new home. Inka is protective of her things and we are told she showed signs of resource gaurding of her empty food bowl and toys. Her new adopters will need to be understanding of this, and experienced with dogs who guard to help guide her in the right direction with positive reinforcement and training. We are told she did have a reaction to children passing by on her walks, and would bark at them so she will need to be in an adult only home without children, or visiting children and in a rural area where she can enjoy quiet walks. She also fixates on cats and is quite intrigued by them, so no cats in the home would be ideal. Inka absolutely loves the outdoors - its hard to even get her to come inside once she is out, but once she is in, she settles in quite nicely. Inka is very affectionate, and loves to come up for a fuss and would love for her new adopters to be home majority of the time so she can get all the attention she craves! Inka is house clean and walks very well on a lead, and loves to go on adventures! Inka really is a great girl that is attempting to navigate her new environments and would benefit well from some additional skills training and a routine!

Inka (although we all still call her Jodie) was adopted with her friend Otto (aka Arlas). Unfortunately it turned out to be a failed adoption and both were returned to us as Jodie started showing some traits that we hadn’t experienced in Many Tears. We originally were keen to getting the two of them adopted together, but in hindsight now and the new information we have received, then we are now considering separating them as we have seen Jodie go from totally relying on Arlas to be around, to becoming more confident and less shy when she is on her own. I believe with the right person, she could be an only dog now as an option, as well as being adopted to a family with a large resident dog. If she was to go as an only dog, then her adopters would have to have lots of time on their hands to give to this fun and friendly dog. She apparently had some guarding issues, but loves playing fetch with a ball and returning it with no problem, and she loves a fuss. When feeding her, she does not need to be separated from her kennel friend, but her kennel friend knows not to approach her until she has finished. She would need a home with no children and although she is fine walking on a lead, like all huskies and malamutes, she should not be let off lead. She loves going for walks though and is not a bit bothered by staying on a lead. When she is free in an enclosed yard she loves running and playing chase with balls. Jodie has issues which can all be explained and easily managed to anyone wishing to take Jodie on. Once Jodie knows you and trusts you, you could not wish for a better campanion. She so deserves her forever home and we will be sad (but very happy for her) to see her leave with a person who will give her all the time she needs and a loving home she wants.
