Husky

Cute but doesn’t really belong in an apartment, which is where you find higher concentrations of these. They’re really easy to find in shelters, are usually just under or exactly the weight limit, aren’t commonly banned like pit bulls, and are cheap or free due to people overbreeding them. So a lot of people adopt them not knowing what its needs are, or why it keeps going in and out of the shelter. Couldn’t afford a Shiba Inu so why not settle for an oversized dog that is basically in solitary confinement. The owner would probably dump it at the shelter if Shibas went out of style and are far cheaper than they are now. It makes the owner feel badass having a sled dog in an area where there are no sleds to pull. It probably matches the North Face jacket for the adventures the owner will never get to experience. It’s the equivalent of adopting a German Shepherd in a police uniform halloween costume. Visit any apartment complex and you’ll find a lot of hyperactive huskies who are overly excited to be out of their holding cell and act like it’s their first time seeing the outside world or people/dogs in general. Please stop torturing these poor dogs, many of them spend their lives living in multiple homes (or apartments) because nobody knows what they’re getting into. And the shelter’s staff is so desperate to get rid of them that they’ll pretty much hand them out to anyone. The equivalent to getting a pug or bulldog when you wanted a French bulldog.
