Story
Sasha is a Siberian Husky, approximate DOB Oct 2013. She was rescued from a neglectful owner who just didn’t want her anymore by a good Samaritan who turned her over to us. She is spayed, up-to-date on vaccinations and weighs 60 lbs. It appears she was kept in the yard with little shelter from the elements and has not been socialized with dogs. She needs an alpha owner who has experience with huskies and can provide the proper training and guidance with behavior and socialization. She likes people and wants to please them although she can be very independent, She needs to be on a low protein high fiber diet.. She was adopted and returned because they didn't have any time for her.
