Nisha, whose name means “night” in Sanskrit, is a petite, middle aged, mellow Husky girl who was picked up as a stray prior to originally coming into our rescue in 2015. Nisha has found herself back in rescue through no fault of her own. Her previous adopter has fallen on difficult times and has had health issues to where she was struggling to keep up with the care of her Huskies and surrendered them back to SHRF.

She is a wonderfully beautiful girl with strikingly intense ice blue eyes who is very affectionate and will show you by giving lots of face licks. If you stop petting her when she is not finished receiving the love and attention she is looking for (and deserves) she will gently nudge you with her paw. She also rides quietly in the car, either watching the world pass by or curled up in the seat.

Nisha is good with children, quiet and likes to snuggle up and cuddle with her humans for a nap or at bed time. When she is in the back yard she loves lying down in shady areas in the grass. She knows the “sit” command, is very receptive to listening and stays focused when a yummy treat is her reward. When being given a treat she will delicately take it from your hand.

She gets along with other dogs in certain situations like when she is off leash at the dog park. She is initially cautious and uneasy when approached by another dog (her hackles go up), at which time she needs to be monitored closely and reassured that she is in no danger. She will then wander around with the others and go off and run but for the most part keeps to herself or near her foster sisters with whom she is familiar.

When on leash, however, she is mostly reactive to any other dogs that come near her and needs to be eased into introductions to new friends which could take fifteen minutes or more. Nisha enjoys going for walks, alertly checking out the scenery around her and walks well on lead when there are no other dogs nearby.

Nisha is also not the most playful with other dogs; she has her moments but they are few and short lived. Her aloofness may make her a candidate for being the only dog in the home so if you are looking for a dog to be a companion to other dogs she may need a few months to get comfortable in that environment.

Nisha is healthy, Heartworm negative, spayed, up-to-date on vaccines, and microchipped. Her eye-popping good looks are sure to get everyone’s attention. Make your neighbors, with their ordinary dogs, jealous; fill out an adoption application at the upper left corner of this page, today.
