7. Scent hounds are wonderful creatures

Very different from huskies. Cali will be a non-alpha who wants you as pack leader. No discussion needed. They were bred for one thing - to follow their noses. That means that when she gets on a scent, she will be nose down, tail up & ears off. If you can learn to appreciate that, then you should keep her, as you are her hero right now. If you have misgivings about that difference of temperments, then let the hound rescue take her, because they will understand all those idiosyncrasies.
Good for you, taking her on and keeping her from the kitties.
