I am a life long lover of animals of all kinds, especially dogs and horses. My family (myself and my grown kids) have 5 rescue huskies collectively. They bring all of us so much joy and laughter, along with the dog hair. Smart, intelligent, fun loving, happy and exuberant, huskies are wonderful family dogs and running/hiking buddies and, being pack animals, generally get along well with all other dogs. This page is dedicated to helping strays, street dogs, shelter dogs and owner surrenders find their way to a loving forever home, either through rescue, re-homing or adoption. All shelter dogs need pledges to make it out alive and into rescue. Pledging means promising to donate a certain amount, ONCE the dog is rescued by a bona fide rescue organization. Once the dog is safely out of the building and into a rescue, the post will be updated with info on how to honor your pledge to the rescue. NEVER HONOR A PLEDGE UNTIL the rescue info is posted, jailbreak or freedom ride photos are posted. If you have any questions, please ask here and/or send a PM before honoring. There are scammers that lurk on the rescue sites, trying to divert pledges intended to save dogs on death row. Stealing life saving funds intended for an animal in dire straits is the lowest of the low, one of the most despicable things someone could do. Most rescues are 501(c)(3) charity organizations and will have a federal EIN number. Most will also be listed on Charity Navigator so you can check to see if they are legit. Pledges are made in the comments on each dog's post. Any amount helps attract rescue interest. It is costly to rescue even a perfectly healthy animal. Most rescues have a guarantee that they will take the dog back if for some reason you are unable to keep it. Pledges help the rescues defray such costs such a veterinary exams and treatment, neuter and spay, transportation, medical boarding, and foster care. Adoptions are at all all time low, owner surrenders are at an all time high and cruelty and abuse is ever increasing. Many times fosters are needed for these dogs in order to be rescued from the streets or a shelter. Many rescues are foster based, meaning that the dog can not be taken off the streets or tagged and rescued from the shelter unless a dedicated foster can be found. A foster home gives rescued dogs a safe place to land while their veterinary needs are evaluated and treated, where the dog can decompress, learn to feel safe and understand what it is to be loved by a human. Fostering is free as the rescue picks up all expenses. I am sickened and disgusted at the treatment of shelter and stray animals as well as the cruelty and apathy some people are capable of. I vacillate between anger, tears and heartbreak when I see the never ending number of wonderful, adoptable huskies being killed in shelters across this country. Many if not most shelters are kill shelters. This means the dogs are killed if there is no space. Lets be clear and not sugarcoat it...the correct word is killed. Deaths for most shelter dogs is not being gently put to sleep, wrapped in the loving arms and washed by the tears of the people who love him and stay with him until the final breath as he crosses the Rainbow Bridge.. This is not euthanasia either. Euthanasia is the practice of intentionally ending life to eliminate pain and suffering. What happens in the shelters is not euthanasia. Perfectly healthy dogs are dragged out of there EU cages and taken to the EU room. Many times it is not even a vet who administers the EU drugs. The dogs are terrified. They have heard the cries and smell of fear of those dogs that went down that hallway before them. Their muzzle is taped closed, their legs are bound, perhaps a chokepole is used to help contain them as they struggle to break free. It is barbaric, horrific. I do not even have the words to describe it. This page is a work in progress, created Dec 01, 2023 as starting as a place to help network these huskies and housewolves so they can find a loving forever home. Plans to to bring awareness of the atrocities happening at shelters across this country to a broader audience is also a mission of this page. Please join me and pledge for these dogs in need, share their posts with any groups or friends that might be interested in helping, offer to foster or adopt one of them. If you can foster one of them, please say so in the comments for that dog. Someone from a rescue will reach out. Share. Foster. Help save a life today.
