Story
Uhura (sounds like oo-HOO-rah, like the "Star Trek" character) is a petite husky (43 pounds) who was found on a rural highway bordering Indiana and Ohio earlier this summer. In her distress, she approached a kind couple's home for food and comfort, and our volunteer in the area got her safe and is fostering her so Uhura would not have to go to the shelter.
We learned that Uhura had been someone's dog, had been rehomed, and, we suspect, dumped on this rural highway. We also learned that she is about 6 years old, was a beloved family member to a home with young children, and had several litters of puppies of her own.
She is a mellow, sweet girl who gets along with cats. She has not been around other dogs in our care, but there is no reason to think that she would not be good with them, too. Another dog in the home is not necessary, though. Uhura would be fine as the only dog.
Uhura is an easy going pup; however, she is absolutely terrified of thunderstorms and fireworks and will try to bust out of her crate or gated area. Ideally, she would be in a home where her human is around a lot for companionship. And she's good company!
Uhura is spayed (no more litters!), up to date on her vaccines, on flea/tick/heartworm prevention, and crate- and house-trained. She walks pretty well on a leash, too.
For utmost safety, we'd strongly prefer this beauty to have a physically fenced yard where there is no chance she's ever back on a rural highway, scared and alone and at risk.
Uhura is available for adoption in Ohio to residents of Ohio. We would consider residents of eastern Indiana in Uhura's case, since she is close to the Indiana line.
