Peninsula Humane Society (PHS) and Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) have seen a dramatic increase in the number of huskies being adopted at their shelters, the agencies announced this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that in mind, qualified adopters are needed, and organizations offer a special adoption package that includes free training and a toy, leash, collar and harness for those who want to open their homes to a new furry friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA common question among potential adopters when they visit our shelter is, \u2018Why do you have so many huskies? \u2019\u201d said Buffy Martin Tarbox, PHS\/SPCA communications manager. \u201cThe simple answer may be that these dogs are the latest in a long line of trendy animals that have become popular thanks to pop culture.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tarbox noted that the dire wolves in "Game of Thrones" resemble giant husky wolf dogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s possible that fans of the series were looking for their own replica of the direwolf and found the husky,\u201d he said. \u201cBut unfortunately, they may not have been prepared for this special and energetic breed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are currently 15 huskies and husky mixes available for adoption in Burlingame, which is 50 percent of the total dogs available, PHS said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Huskies are excellent family pets that require plenty of activity, both physically and mentally. They are known for their loyalty and love of being with people. They can be quite independent and can sometimes be escape artists, the PHS said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Households with previous experience with this breed who are looking for a new pet are therefore encouraged to consider adopting one of these "mini dire wolves."<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each adoptable dog has been spayed or neutered, microchipped and vaccinated. Dog adoption fees are $160.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
