Grooming Needs: Typical husky who sheds twice a year. She keeps herself very clean. She like to chew her toe nails so that is a plus

Fence: Does fine on a tie out and in the fenced yard.

Solo or Siblings: She would love having another dog. She has never been an only dog so not sure she would be good solo. Guess it would depend on how much activity she got with her family.

From the Foster: Shilo came to AAH from a puppy mill. Her first 8 years she was momma to many puppies. She didn't know much about how to just be a pet dog so has been slowly learning that at her foster home. In her foster home she has lots of dog friends of all sizes and breeds. She likes them all. She isn't much of a player herself but loves to critique the other dogs as they play. Shilo has been cat tested and did very well. Was interested in what the fuzzy thing was but had no aggression at all. Shilo has almost mastered potty training.She has no signal to say she has to go. Her foster mom just knows her normal potty times and lets her out. She loves the outdoor dog yard and will sleep belly up in the sun or shade to pass the time. She has learned to walk on a leash and does great. No worries about her pulling as she has a very easy pace. These breeder release momma dogs deserve a special home that understands their past and willing to help them learn what a real home is. Shilo is the sweetest girl and will make a wonderful dog for someone willing to give her the love and care she deserves.
