If those pale blue eyes don’t catch your attention, then her gentle mannerisms will! I was impressed with her as soon as I took her out of her kennel! Tasha is a two-year-old 55 pound Alaskan husky that came from Mesquite Animal Shelter on 10/15 as a stray. At first, she just moseyed around the yard taking her time investigating. Then she came back and stayed close to me. She would look up at me with those beautiful eyes of hers as though imploring me to adopt her. At one point she was across the yard when I called her, and she came running to me. She doesn’t appear to know the sit command but backs up in an attempt to do what I was asking of her. She does take treats gently. She is easy-going, gentle, sweet, friendly, and very well mannered. She walks very well on a leash. She went nose to nose with dogs that were friendly with her and ignored those that were not. Huskies love to run and in order to do so they’re known to try to escape. She will need a tall secure fence. Also, she will require frequent brushings. As gentle as she is she would most likely do very well with children. She wants to be an inside dog so she can love on her new family.
