Typically, the husky dog will just run, which is why a very secure fence is necessary. Be prepared for the possibility of a husky that can never be let off leash. Running is what they were bred for, not guarding, nor herding, nor obedience in the usual sense. They also tend to have a high prey drive.
The care guides on the rescue sites will have good info. that can help you decide if a husky would be a good fit. I came VERY close to adopting one from our local pound several years ago. I volunteered there, and really enjoyed working with her, but I also knew she would not be a good fit into our household, where we walk out in the desert, with our other dogs loose.
I love the breed, and would still like to own one.
Maybe some day...
