Dog question
Apr 29, 2020, 9:42 AM
|
|
Half a year ago my neighbor bought a husky puppy because the pup cute and they knew nothing about the breed.
Dog is around 7 or 8 months old now and big. He's bored due to lack of exercise so he tears up furniture and shoes. Not only does he lack exercise he lacks chew toys etc etc.
He escapes when he can and then I suspect gets punished.
Now they just lock him up. I hear he whine way more than I should.
He's never had any training and doubt he can walk on a leash from what the mother says.
How can I rescue that pup and get him with the proper family. I would like to handle this discreetly and neighborly. ( I have a pit/boxer so I can't adopt him.)
Any advice on how to get the pup away?

800 in easy driving range?
If not, let’s just save us both some time and end the conversation now.

That all sounds like quintessential husky behavior.

If your neighbors are reasonable perhaps you can talk them into giving the dog up. Often times there are breed-specific rescue organizations who will be equipped to properly handle a dog like that.

If they're committed to keeping it you may consider

trying to educate them about the breed. Huskies need to be exercised physically and mentally otherwise they'll become destructive like you described. You could recommend Kong toys:

I'm not an expert or anything, but I had a husky who was a big, lovable a-hole and they can be demanding animals.

I think I recall seeing a picture of your pup years ago and commenting how beautiful it was. I'm too banged up to keep up with a dog that energetic, but can't stand to see it endure this mess either.

I went through something similar actually. Seriously

I went and physically stole the dog from them and refused to give it back. They called the police on me and we got into a huge fight in the middle of the street. The police ultimately made me give the dog back because they did have evidence of me trespassing. I harassed them for 3 years until I moved. Thankfully, the dog ended up miraculously getting off it's chain and found a good home allegedly.
#### idiots like that

to make sure she hasn't chained up another one with no food or water. "Butttt I'm working on fixing the hole in her water bucket......" Ugh, still infuriates me.

Had the same issue with my in-laws

turns out a high strung hunting puppy doesn't cure clinical depression.
The dog ended up living 23-24 hours per day in a 8x10 laundry room never getting out or having physical contact.
Finally told them I was taking the dog whether they wanted me to or not because no dog deserved that life. They understood. I think the person you're referring too knows too but doesn't know what to do about it.
Now Bella the Boykin is sitting on my feet with her nose on my knee where she can't breath because she's a god #### idiot.
She spends all day sleeping either on the couch or out in the yard, chasing birds, and scaring the chickens.

the local shelter when they open and calling husky rescue.
Probably will end up talking to the dogs owner later.
