Over 800 Siberians adopted since 1998...way to go AAHI
Who We Are
Adopt A Husky, Inc. is a 501(c)3 non-proft organization devoted to rehoming abandoned Siberian Huskies through a network of foster homes. Evolving from a small group of caring individuals, Adopt A Husky, Inc. has been in existence since September of 1998. Our ever-expanding number of volunteers has successfully placed over 800 deserving dogs since that date, dogs ranging in age from three months to ten years, whose only crime was not having been raised in an environment that understood this breed.
Siberian Huskies are high energy, gregarious, independent, and intelligent animals. They were bred to run, and their ancestors have performed this function in harness on sleds for many generations. Unfortunately, many people purchase them from pet stores, puppy mills, or unscrupulous backyard breeders, places that are solely interested in the dollars they receive, and who do not provide prospective buyers with the proper breed information. As a result, many of the dogs end up in shelters as strays, or are given up to shelters by owners who just don't want to be bothered. Occasionally we are asked to take a dog that has been removed from an abusive situation by the authorities. We are also contacted regarding dogs that have lost their owners because of an untimely death or a critical, life-threatening illness.
The Adoption Process
...begins with a completed adoption application. This allows us to get to know you and assess your husky "readiness". We cut no corners when it comes to finding the right owner for each dog. We think every husky is perfect, but every home is not-otherwise we wouldn't be needed. Once we have a completed application, we'll make an appointment to meet with you at your home to get to know you better. We also require your existing pets to be up to date on all shots and heartworm preventative prior to placing a dog in your home.
We are the ONLY voice these dogs have, and we work very hard to ensure each placement is in a safe environment.
An adoption application can be found on our website www.adoptahusky.com or we can mail or fax one to you.
All of our furry kids are........
* spayed or neutered prior to adoption
* evaluated for trainability and temperament
* up to date on ALL shots,including Bordetella(kennel cough) & rabies
* heartworm tested and on preventative
* micro-chipped for identification
* registered with AKC's Home Again program
