Volunteers report no issues with leashing, walking, and returning to the kennel. Dog is relaxed and shows enjoyment with being handled/pet.P: Make available for adoption. Recommend adopters continue to work on basic manners (leash skills, recall, sit) using a patient, reward-based training approach. Unknown how this dog may behave around children. Potential adopters should be familiar with the characteristics of Husky breed dogs (require regular grooming, tendency to be vocal, jump / dig under fences, potential for prey drive) and be prepared to provide sufficient exercise and enrichment.[2026-08-29 13:16:00.000]
