Thanks Len / Mindy.

Sorry about all the bad experiences. I know rescues aren't perfect NOBODY IS at least rescues aren't adding to the problem.

Tori - Not my intention to offend just educate what rescues have to deal with.

I know all too well about rescues being too far away as here in Oklahoma we don't have any husky rescues and they suffer weekly because of it. One of the highest puppy mill / BYB states. Still I refuse to foster another animal for a non-breed rescue that has such a liberal adoption that I end up with more fosters returned. 2 very sweet huskies in the last year I volunteered was enough. So my opinion is influenced by my surroundings. I would be glad to devote my time to something else trust me. I'll continue to fight for the Sibes here that need help, just wish I had some myself.

EDIT: If anyone wants a rescue without any adoption process come to Oklahoma, you have money and transport they have a dog.

Right Tori,

Just because of the issues I've had with the rescues down here doesn't mean that I oppose them. I'm constantly pushing rescue on my meetup group as well as help out the rescue that double denied me. While what I've been put through upsets me and irritates me... I still love the breed. And they do too. I just wish they'd get off their high horse and realize a house with a yard doesn't spell perfect. There are many out there that push to make it work and would be fantastic owners if given the time of day.

In no way shape or form would I ever endorse any breeder over rescue.

The application I was working on - the guy that lives in an apartment that is a field technician maintaining cell sites - I got him approved!

He's never had a sibe before, but when I wasked, 'What can you tell me about the breed?' He bought a book and read up on the breed (origin, care and maintenance, exercise, etc) before I even called him. So that was +1 for him. He runs, hikes and snowshoes and he plans to take his husky everywhere he can

Now, I just need to confirm the apartment complex accepts pets and they do not have a breed restriction against huskies.

Then all I gotta do is find a husky good with small kids....and I may have 2 options for him already!

Yay!

^^^Awesome! Nice work Claudia!

Yay Claudia! I'm so happy for him (he sounds like a good hearted guy who would love his dog and be the best owner possible!). Good job!

I've helped transport a couple dogs to lady that runs a private rescue. She neuters/spays, gets them chipped, up to date on shots and has a pretty extensive application. However, i would rather see sibes go to what is certian to be a good home than something like what they already came from. I've never been on the adopting end, but she took in and found homes for over 80 dogs in 2011! That sounds like pretty good results!

Those are great things to hear, Claudia and Casey!

That man sounds like a husky would be a great dog for him!
