Hi all
We have the opportunity to adopt a Husky and just wanted some advice on what they are like as pets.
We will be moving so a house in a few months with a small garden. So he will have some outside space. We have two DSs 16 months and 3 months old and two cats.
The Husky is fully grown and comes from a very unloving family who currently keep him chained up in the back garden all year round and is never walked. He currently belongs to a friends neighbour and they are looking to get rid of him.
Would he be a good family member or am
I getting carried away because his current living conditions are horrible?
I understand huskies need an incredible amount of exercise and would be a huge commitment. How much walking/running would they need daily? How much food do they get through? What are other people's experiences with them as family pets like?
I've only ever had small dogs before so this would be very different for us and I want to make 100% sure we would be the right forever home for him and can give him what he needs!
