Husky needs a new home.

Leander TX

Description

This 4 year old female red husky needs a new home. With her extensive training and good manners she may make a great ESA for someone, and would definitely make a great pet. She had been used as a PTSD and autism assistance animal, but when working in public she gets too excited to respond reliably and this could not be trained out of her. She’d rather make friends and people/dog watch, so we are retiring her from work and seeking a more suitable candidate. She is goofy, submissive, and wants to always be with humans. She likes to cuddle. She lives with cats and a bunny, and has picked up their mannerisms somewhat. She is almost completely silent (VERY unusual for a husky), and watchful of her people. She is my shadow. Please note, however, that huskies are not for first time dog owners. They are known for “intelligent disobedience” and may decide they’d rather do their own thing than listen to you, especially if you are not consistent with your expectations. She has been owner-trained as well as taking group classes. She knows several commands including sit, down, up, stay, free, come, go, wait, leave it, take it, place, bed, under, back, touch, focus, paw (shake), potty, load up, shake (for her to shake her body to get any loose hair off, usually used before getting into a vehicle) and “right here”. She will need to be an indoor companion; she cannot handle being outdoors for long periods. She overheats easily especially in summer, and hates rain…she will hold her bathroom needs for hours rather than go outside in inclement weather. She is crate trained and likes her crate, but sleeps in her own bed next to mine. She has never been left alone for longer than 1-2 hours and would probably not do well in a situation where someone leaves her alone all day. She has the typical husky coat (please know about husky care before adopting one, this is a daily upkeep or you’ll have a fur coat all over your floors). She will come with all her supplies including food, kennel, grooming items, remaining heartworm preventative, etc. She is spayed, current on all vaccinations, and on heartworm + flea preventative. A lot of time and money have gone into her training. Her rehoming fee of $700 is extremely modest in comparison.
