So many Huskies end up in shelters and rescues because people often buy or adopt huskies without considering the amount of time, patience, and money required to provide for them.
Shelters and rescues across San Diego County have been particularly hit hard by an uptick of abandoned huskies, including at Chula Vista Animal Services. They currently have nearly three dozen Huskies in their care. Milo is the Deputy Director of Animal Services and says part of the reason for the staggering number of Huskies is due to media exposure. Many have been featured in TV shows and movies.Huskies are known for their striking appearance, intelligence, energetic personalities and even their howling, but the breed comes with specific requirements that often prove to be too much for some.
Huskies require mental stimulation and social bonding to live a happy life. They also need a lot of grooming.
