Mika Siberian Husky Memphis, TN

This is Mika, she is about 1.5 years old and a Siberian Husky. She was a stray and was adopted from the shelter but returned. As we always stress: do your homework regarding breeds. Mika was returned because she kept going after the family's cat..and that is pretty much a common trait for Sibes. Predatory instincts in the Siberian Husky are strong. While the Siberian is normally gentle and friendly with people and other dogs, owners MUST be aware that small animals in and aound the home, such as squirrels, rabbits, birds, guinea pigs, hamsters, and CATS, are potential victims of their strong predatory instinct. They are swift, cunning, and patient in their hunting skills.
At least once a year the Siberian Husky sheds his coat, and it is then, when armed with a comb and a bushel basket, that one realizes the amazing density and profusion of the typical Siberian Husky coat. Some people feel that this periodic problem is easier to cope with than the constant shedding and renewal of many smooth-coated breeds.
There is one final characteristic of the Siberian Husky which we must point out -- their desire to RUN. We require ALL yards to be fenced and this is one reason why. Mika loves to run, freely, off leash and safely. Sibes don't bark: they howl. So they do not make great dogs for apartments due to bothering the neighbors.
Mika seems to have some separation issues and does best in a home with other dogs.
Mika is up to date on vaccinations, microchipped and spayed . She needs a family that knows this breed, understands them, does NOT have small animals, realizes they ARE an inside dog ( all out TOH dogs are!). though she does like her outside play time.
