These numbers represent HUSKIES in rescue. This is from rescueme.org
Look at California!
We need help. They need help!
There aren’t many husky rescues.
Please consider fostering or adopting one or a pair if you don’t mind digging, shedding, howling CUTE sweet dogs!
I bet most of them are under two years old too!!
If you are interested in adopting these gorgeous but high needs dogs, go to: http://www.siberianrescue.com/

Take em to Sweden and all will be rescued within a month
ShoopDeDoop
So wait, do they need to be rescued or adopted? Those are 2 completely different things.
FosterMomForKittens
Both. Saves them from being euthanized in shelters.

For those thinking about it, don't get a husky if you live here in Texas. It's just too damn hot on average. It will be torture for them.
spacerobot142
As a husky owner I get why they’re too much for most people. but this isnt a secret, why buy them and then dump them on a shelter.
darthstormer
For the first time in recorded history: a positive statistic for North Dakota.
Sturdycrotch
Pretty sure their covid numbers were massively positive too. Heyoo
MvrdrH0rn3t
The only reason it's so high in Washington state is I'm pretty sure that they are easily available but people end up giving them back 1/2

If say it's absolutely neutral. /s

This makes me so sad and happy. I've wanted another husky found out my 8 year old boy has cancer last month and will be waiting for his sake
topshelfassistant
I love the idea of owning a husky, but knowing I would not be good for them, is exactly why I hate people who put dogs in this situation

For all the comments playing "which state is worse!?": The map isn't normalized by population.

Lotta comments on here by people who don’t seem to understand the concept of “per capita.”

What the crap California
storytaletime
Don't forget to add escape artist to the list. Also they need more exercise then a roided out body builder.
CogYang
maybe send them to other less dense areas in hopes they'll be picked up quickly

Hyperactive drama queens is what I hear from a lot of people about huskies.

I love huskies, but I don't have the energy to keep them entertained.

Jesus Christ. Those states are fucking hot! Why take a fluffy Boi there?

People surprised their snow dog that was bred to work intensively for hours every day is a handful and can’t handle heat?

Send em to Canada

You do know we get over 100f on a regular basis, right?
Theoj05
Or MN! I work at a rescue here we love getting huskies in and I have 2(mixes) myself. They definitely require more work but they're worth it
Jadora
Who do they keep bringing huskies to Florida. Should be illegal.
flutterby7117
I live in FL and have two huskies.. we do have AC down here. My huskies are healthy and happy
Jadora
Why* even
butididntwanttomakeausername
I’m baffled by all the huskies in my Bay Area neighborhood. They’re all over our shelter pages too :( people just don’t do their research.

Everyone watched GOT and wanted a Dire Wolf...
arthurvanhoudt
WRT getting which type of dog or just getting dog? People underestimate the commitment needed to have a dog!! Let alone special care needed!
UsernameMayBeSubjectToChange
Correct. That's why I'm not getting one, though I'd love to

Dumbasses buying large outdoor dogs for their single bedroom apartments. Friend of mine is guilty of this.
canyonbeerjoint
My girlfriend had a husky. It takes a lot of patience to deal with this breed. Theyre huge troublemaker but they are so sweet and pretty
thiswillonlyhurtabit
They are so mischievous if they get bored, but they love to snuggle so much
haadyy
We have a husky-nephew. Little bugger once ate the light switches cause he was bored... But he is my new years eve snuggle bug, so I forgive
dinosaurzoologist
Please please please do your research on the breed before you adopt tho. They are not easy dogs.
crowkiller06
My neighbor has 2. I swear they Escape his yard at least twice a month(that in aware of).

I live in VA. There’s an organization that transports about 4 huskies a month from CA to here for adoption. I had no idea it was that crazy
imjustsomerandomdude
We talking about in general or just on this one topic?
MissAizea
It's pretty much impossible to adopt a rescue dog if you have kids or cats or other dogs. At least in Cali.
arcenlapin
This is something I have a hard time with. We really want to adopt but we have cats and want children, and I'm sorry- but I'm not going>>
MissAizea
I mostly meant rescues won't let you adopt. Raising a puppy is no guarantee of compatibility either. It's even harder to tell. People end up
MissAizea
Picking breeds based on look vs real compatibility and tend to overestimate their skills and abilities.
arcenlapin
I don't want a breed though. I just want a pup from humane society is my point.
MissAizea
Even my local humane society had those restrictions. Tbf the only dogs they had were pit bulls. I'm only interested in working dogs, and

I love dogs. And anecdotes are not data. But I had to have reconstructive surgery after a husky bit off part of my face as a child. YMMV.

I was attacked by a husky as a small child. Luckily I only came out of it with a scar on my eyebrow and my chin. So yeah. The dog had my>>

I was attacked by a Siamese cat, without provocation, and Siamese cats were bad in lady and the tramp... But later I found out those were

Actually some laid back and calm cats... Kids and pets need supervision, tho. Both can be unpredictable and the risks are high.
thepriceisleft6
Fuck Florida.
Noldona
This is one of the main reasons I don't have a husky or a malamute.
crowkiller06
As a Floridian, 1) Fuck You, and 2) I understand.
thepriceisleft6
That's fair
AmericanOmar
Yup, I see huskies everywhere here, Was actually surprised the number is so low. Always feel so bad for them when I see them in 100f weather
DrLivingstoneIpresume
Safe to say no matter the circumstances
billybarule
Well, yeah, of course - but do you have anything relevant to this post??? ?
thepriceisleft6
No.
asm80dfa8sdfj
Why not California, which has 5x more?
imjustsomerandomdude
Because only Florida bad.
repostingbundleofsticks
Northern parts of California are actually pretty cold. Learned that one as a teen when I went to San Francisco without any warm clothes
thepriceisleft6
I mean... Let's be honest. Fuck all 52 states.
asm80dfa8sdfj
Wow, more states than actually exist. You must really hate the US
thepriceisleft6
You must be really fun at parties. /s

I put the /s so you'd understand that I'm being sarcastic. Take your time.

Who the hell thinks it's a good idea to bring a husky to Texas?

They acclimate well. Remember they have separate summer and winter coats.

TheNihilistsParadoxicalWashingMachine
This answer has it all. The obvious. The funny. The depressing. And the implied idiot arrogance in decision making.
drdavessardogs
I had a Malemute we brought from AK to WY, then I moved to Prescott, AZ for college. She did OK, used a mister system for summer time cool.
battleofhastings1066
Prescott is reasonable temperature wise. I am disappointed at how many people I see with huskies in Phoenix. Totally irresponsible.
mrsuzukiami
Yea never understood the triple coat work dog in Florida when visiting there.So you’re shaving the dog and destroying the look or killing it
CosmoVagusCurve
tbh florida is worse
BrazilianThunderPanda
Selfish assholes who have no consideration for dogs needs.
TheDudeOrHisDudeness
Or California for that matter. It's usually on fire.
kcool951
Literally anywhere Humid and Hot. Just keep huskies out of any state that is humid and hot
HellaPictureSeeing
60 assholes at present. You better be damn rich to pay for that much AC in TX

Well it is sort of cold there now.

Mine was born in Texas so it's not like we had a choice, but at least now I can keep him comfortable instead of him sitting in a shelter.

Friend PCS'd from Alaska to TX. His husky simply hated life and spent his days hugging the concrete floor.
TheRealDude19047
...or California? wtf
redskiddles
Mine came from Texas. First summer here he was fine. After one Canadian winter though, he hates temps above 10C.

Go to Mexico and South America. Huskies are fashion pets. Seems cruel.

My cousin, apparently. Though we quickly made him switch with with mom's bulldog.

Stupid, selfish people who want a "wolf dog"
IamTheRealBowser
Same idiots that have a husky here in Hawaii.
thegreyacemaven
Texas is huge and has lots of mountains. Just because it's a Southern state, doesn't mean it's too warm for huskies.
insegrevious
It's too warm because those mountains are in the West.... Like Southwest region of the US. Texas more incommon with southwestern climate

terminaljunkie
Dunno. I rescued a husky from a texas shelter this last month, I live in the northeast where it’s basically cold af 6 months. She loves it.
mrsdowneyjr
I was surprised to learn recently that they do rather like most dogs in the heat
Ivalicenyan
Texans?
scoutMoonDiver
I don’t get it either, but they are very popular around the Houston area.

TheUneasyBoosh
it seems like common sense but I just did a quick google and every link I clicked on said they are fine in hot climates ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
ElbowDeepInYourGrandma
But this is imgur, actual information doesnt matter as long as you can get social credi.... upvotes.
DonaldTrumpsFlaccidHairpiece
Former husky owner here: They actually do just fine in heat. They acclimate well. Like any dog though, always give it shade and fresh water.
metroid2
Oh you mean like. "If it misbehaves again it gets the hose again" /s
PoorSucker
There was a st Bernard in a rescue in Thailand that they shaved once per month
BeConsiderate
Don't shave huskies!! Dunno if Bernards are the same, but for the love of God, don't shave a husky to cool it down!
Sturdycrotch
Their undercoat is insulation vs hot and cold. Basically just plan to have water available if out and about
Lemmingofdarkestnight
Maybe I should rephrase... Who the hell thinks it's a good idea to live in Texas?
DonaldTrumpsFlaccidHairpiece
Fuck if I know, I stay far away.
vengfish
Those who have enough money to move to a different state but don't
FarenDin
Sure they survive.... that does not mean you should have one in a warm climate.. if you care, they are way more comfortable in cold climates
DonaldTrumpsFlaccidHairpiece
No really, they acclimate. Just like humans, they adjust. It's literally in their biology. Any Vet will tell you, they are just as happy.
LtKifKroker
I ha e a husky and live in Florida. She lives a happy life and spends most time indoors and enjoys the backyard un the evening and 1/2
LtKifKroker
The dog park on cool days. I dare you to tell me I'm a bad pet owner.
imjustsomerandomdude
Listen pal, this is the internet. Dont you dare defend yourself. Accept your shame and humiliation and move on. Because stranger said so. /s
FarenDin
Im not trying to shame you. Im just speaking the truth. sure the dog is happy. It would just be more comfortable elsewhere.
