Iris is a six month old 36 pound Alaskan Husky that came to the Mesquite Animal Shelter as a stray on 11/25. She’s not quite sure of what to make of the Shelter environment. She will need TLC and a slow introduction for her to become comfortable with you. After I spent time with her she untucked her tail and she even wagged it. She’s a real sweetheart with a gentle, calm, sweet nature. She’s well behaved and doesn’t jump on you. When I sat down she came to me. She didn’t appear to know the sit command nor was she interested in my treats. She did her business in the yard. Because she is not comfortable at the shelter she was hesitant about walking on a leash. With coaxing and praise she responded. She does respond well to praise! She was not interested in meeting other dogs. If you know anything about huskies you know they like to run. They are known in the dog world as escape artists. Therefore Iris will need a tall secure fence. Also huskies need to be brushed frequently. Oh, and even though she would enjoy having a yard to stretch her legs in, she would rather be an inside dog where she can cuddle and spend time with her new family.
