From what you said, she just isn't able to be home enough for an active breed like a Husky, so perhaps re-homing her, through breed rescue, is the best. Your poor friend is working too much, and Nikita is bored bored bored, which is why she's being destructive. Perhaps she will find a home where people are there more often and she can get the activity she craves.

This must be breaking her heart, but I believe it's for the best as long as Nikita gets a good home.
