Yeah as Tali said, he may be a climber. Huskies are highly intelligent. If you do have chain link think about getting the slats to slide into the rows to impede climbing.

If your plan is to leave him outside on a chain, I would seriously advise you to find a family more willing to address his needs.

Thanks for the input. I am torn on what to do, I can't just give a dog like this to anybody. I think we will care for him until the most perfect home becomes available for him.

My guy thought it was odd how the dog acted like he already knew me..he came up to me said hi, sat on my feet and laid all his weight against me. He is very sweet..his eyes are as blue as the sky.



They are magnificently beautiful dogs.

Magnificent creatures.

My top choice for a dog if I picked one.

Well, he is on a chain right now, but not by choice, this was a hurried decision to bring him here, to save him from the pound. He can go under the pines and lay on soft needles..or lay in the snow/grass..like he seems to like for now.

We will atleast build him a house this weekend for starters.


I wish my Mom and Dad would take him..but they are set in their ways, and a big dog is not in the picture. If we can't do the best for him, I will be diligent in finding him a perfect home, without giving up on the dog.

they need a lot of exercise and aren't the type of dog you can expect to stay inside or on a leash. they need to run.

I understand that and is why my post is so neutral in tone. I'm kind of a freak about dogs, the whole 'dog on a chain' thing really makes my blood boil, but I get you are trying to do the best you can.

If it is the best you can do, you would be best trying to find a home for him.

I would start looking at private rescue organizations:

http://www.siberianrescue.com/

I pulled that up from a google search. Regions usually have their own organizations - for example, 2 of my 3 bassets we got from Basset Rescue of Old Dominion, which is for the MD\Va\Pa\West-by-God area. Check google and see what is near you.

Please note, I am trying to be helpful and not flame you. Sometimes, despite our best intentions, we aren't equipped to be proper stewards for some animals. Recognizing that and getting the animal to someone who can is the best thing you can do for them. I've been through this personally - it sucks - but being a good steward means doing what is right for the animal, not for you.

It is my understanding he has lived his whole life on a chain . His next home..where ever it is will be better. You would not believe how beautiful he is, he looks like a show dog. The furr on his face is all puffy..he sorta looks like he is not even real he is so pretty.

They are incredible dogs. Sounds like you are trying to do your best.

If you want more personalized help trying to find a rescue, please let me know. I have a TON of experience fostering rescues and working with rescues (we currently work with 3 - BROOD, DRNA and A Forever Home.)

I've owned one and my sister and brother-in-law own 6. They are wonderful family dogs, protective of everyone they take to (my sister's husky female has bonded with me so much she thinks she is a lap dog). Smart, easy to train, good with kids, loyal, loving.


Only other dog I would say is close is a boxer.
