I just dealt with this problem with our neighbors Husky. I didn't want to shoot her, and I didn't want to have to call Animal control - complicated story for another time
My solution was going to simply be to catch her, and make her disappear - take her to a husky rescue.
Ended up finally talking to the wife, and she willingly gave me the husky, who is now living in our basement
We just love her, but it's highly unlikely we will be able to keep her because of our other dogs
(Them - not her. Our one girl is very territorial).
So, maybe if you talk to the wife, you can talk some sense into her... The previous owner of the husky left her with his parents when he moved out. The wife really did love the dog, but she didn't want to have to tie her up all the time either. When I told her we'd either keep the dog, or I would take her to a husky breed rescue that would not put her to sleep, she was very willing, not excited to get rid of the dog, but knew it was the right thing to do for her. It sounds like the guy isn't very nice to the dog and it would be better off if you did make her disappear...
Good Luck!
