my niece has a siberian husky that came from a rescue. She's a very beautiful dog, but they do run. When my niece lived in Cary, the dog would get out of her fenced in back yard and just run all over the neighborhood. Whe we moved in together, I was always taking the dog for walks and the got got to know the neigborhood, so when she did get loose, she would eventually come home (after she wore herself out). When you take them for regular walks, they get to know the area and will come back.
Siberians do shed a lot in the summer, and need cooler temps, but they get along well with other dogs and even cats (our one cat would go for walks with the Siberian). Their blue eyes are just beautiful!
