Story

We welcomed Cali into our home on January 31st after rescuing her from the pound. She is 3 years old, with a birthday on February 20th. Previously, she was given up because she frequently escaped her chain. Since being with us, she's been secured with a rope and locking clip and hasn't escaped. We are seeking a home without other dogs, as we're unsure about her behavior with cats. Cali is a wonderful dog who responds promptly to her name and follows commands to sit and lie down. However, she does not get along with our other huskies, does not like to share food/bones and is trying to assert dominance. She would thrive in a home without other dogs and possibly without cats. We hope to find her a loving home. If you have any questions please reach out.
