Hello. Under the right circumstances, a Husky can live anywhere. If your home is air-conditioned or shaded with lots of nice breezes, this would be perfect. But as long as you keep the dog very well brushed out to remove all of the undercoat & he/she has a place to get out of the sun, you will be fine. I do not recommend shaving the coat because the topcoat can actually act as a hat & protect the skin from the sun. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Yes he can even though it is not his ideal environment at all and he could suffer as he has to adapt to the warm and humid weather.

Hello. You should be able to leave your husky out with what you have available for him. But I will add one more thing you can do for him. Make sure you strip out his undercoat completely ( you will probably need a groomer to do this ). I do not recommend shaving a northern breed, but removing the undercoat & leaving the top coat should keep him pretty comfortable. Of course, if he does seem to suffer from the heat, you may need to bring him into an airconditioned environment for some parts of the day. See how he does & just use good judgement.
