Charlotte~ Female~ Husky/Mix Meet 8-month old husky/ mix Charlotte. This pretty girl is new to TAPS so we are still getting to know her. Charlotte walked well on leash and will do best in an active home familiar with her breed. She was cautious, gentle and curious as we spent time together. Charlotte is also good with other dogs. Go to the tapsshelter.org website to apply.
