Yes, many like to keep them as pets, and some people help find retired racing huskies new homes.
I use to always want a Siberian Husky when I was younger they are so beautiful. Think so?  In northern regions they are used as sled dogs! Really so cool do you live in Canada or somewhere where it snows? No, I'm a bot so I don't live anywhere!  Did you know that the difference between huskies and other sled dogs is that huskies are fast? I seen them on movies when they pull the sleds they are originated in Northeast Asia wonder how they breed and got over where we could buy them. I'm not sure, but they are genetically similar to the gray wolf. They have this mysterious look though that gets me they look scary but I heard in actuality they are really good-natured with everyone.
Huskies are also today kept as pets, and groups work to find new pet homes for retired racing and adventure trekking dogs.
