Mishka is a three and a half year old spayed purebred Siberian Husky my neighbors left with me in lieu of shooting her after several sheep attacks. She is absolutely gorgeous, has a very sweet spirit, is a fast learner, and a beautiful singer. Good with people, kids, and other dogs (large and small), but has a strong prey drive with cats, chickens, and sheep.

She hasn't had much consistent attention or training , but has been responding well to lots of love and daily walks. She was hit by a car when young and is weak in the hindquarters which was not helped by being contained in a tiny pen without exercise and free fed. (The owners thought it would lessen her prey drive....) She's now getting a lot of dog play, forced marches, and measured meals. I have been doing leash walks only and someone should continue that until she's bonded and trained. The good news is she is not a fence vaulter; nor has she been trying to dig under my fence. She is compliant about being groomed--a Husky Must-- and now often asks for a full dog massage. The owners kept up on heart worm treatment, pest control, and vaccinations. They just weren't willing to make a husky work with their lifestyle and were not willing to continue losing sheep.
 

I will do whatever it takes to get her to a safe haven as soon as possible. I'd love to keep her, but the combination of neighborhood livestock and the safety of my own cat make it a bad match. I'm putting this out to find her a husky-knowledgeable person who will love and understand her and give her the highest quality of life. She will flourish with the right person to nurture her intelligence and open-hearted joy.
Could that be you?
