14 husky dogs that roamed more than a month rescued in Pierce County

Home surveillance cameras and residents in Ashford recently spotted a large pack of husky dogs roaming in their community, according to the Humane Society for Tacoma and Pierce County.



Once reported to Animal Control, the 14 dogs were caught and brought to the Humane Society for care and food, now that they’re no longer left to fend for themselves.

The dogs, varying in age from 5 months to 5 years old, arrived scared and nervous to the shelter, but have shown signs of friendliness to the staff.

However, with the recent intake, the kennels at the Humane Society are now completely full and animals keep flooding in, according to the Humane Society.

She was kept in a garage because she could escape a normal chain linked fence and the main owner was a long haul truck driver with the mother taking care of a disabled child. One of my middle child's workmates rescued this dog twice and on the third time, the owners turned her over to her and somehow I ended up with her. We have tall six foot wood fences on two sides of the property and a six foot brick fence on the back. The puppy escaped until we put in dig guards and covered a gap at the front gate. Now we have a GPS unit on the puppy that alerts us when the puppy is more than 300 feet from my house. The puppy is happy to see us and comes home easily

According to one of my workmates, there are three or four Husky rescue groups in Houston because Huskies escape. Huskies like to escape and wander.

Our new puppy is very affectionate.

Dogs get emboldened when part of a pack. A large pack of 14 huskies has virtually nothing to fear.

If you aren't really good on your feet and get singled out at the water cooler, stick to them and you'll be fine.
