Advice needed
Long post.
My neighbour died a few months ago. Her husky is still there with a partner that doesn't really want her. She's been used to being inside but is now spending all her time outside. She howls. She is unhappy. She lies where she can see the front yard and stays there most of the day. When I talk to her she doesn't even raise her head.
The partner was hospitalised for 3 weeks. He asked neighbours to feed the dog. They provided her with a rug to lie on at the back door. When he came home the rug was removed. I don't know whose it was. He was home for a few weeks and is now back in hospital. The rug is back thankfully as it is getting rather cold.
I think she is depressed. It is so sad to hear her howl and not even look up when spoken to.
I feel she needs a home where she can get attention and walked. She's about 8. She was never regularly walked. I hate to see this neglect but I don't know what to do.
Any advice appreciated.
