The Siberian Husky is a very unique breed. Their friendly and outgoing temperaments make them a great all-round dog. As with so many animals, many Siberian Huskies are abused, neglected and abandoned every year and are in great need of loving care and both foster and forever homes.
Siberian Husky Rescue of Florida ,Inc. have directly and indirectly helped to save 920 dogs since their incorporation in December of 1999!
The mission of the Siberian Husky Rescue of Florida, Inc. is to rescue stray, abused, surrendered and unwanted Siberian Huskies.
The purpose of this not for profit organization, is to assist area animal control agencies, Humane Societies, and Siberian Husky owners with the humane care and disposition of these amazing animals.
Adopting an animal is a lifetime commitment to the love, care, health and safety of that animal. Neither more nor less than one would expect when adopting a human child. The adopter is not supplying a home to something that is “just a dog”. If you adopt a young Husky and they do what most every young dog does – have bathroom accidents in the house, chew on your furniture, knock things over and generally just run around having fun you should be tolerant of their actions. They will learn what they are allowed to do and what they are not if you give them a modicum of patience and firm but non-violent instruction.
All SHRF adoptable dogs are spayed/neutered if necessary, treated for heartworm, sarcoptic mange and other diseases, bathed, groomed and microchipped. SHRF provides loving foster homes and they try to crate train, house train and obedience train the dogs as much as possible. SHRF ensures all their dogs are up to date with their vaccines, flea and tick treatments. The required adoption amount is carefully calculated to cover only the most basic expenses for an individual dog. Many dogs come to SHRF with abuse or medical problems and they spend only what is necessary to get the dog back to good health. If required, SHRF will pay the animal shelter adoption fees to take these dogs out of the shelters, saving them from being euthanized in most instances, and then provide the funding for their expenses while being fostered (boarding/food/toys/crates). Every cent taken in by Siberian Husky Rescue of Florida, Inc. goes toward the dogs’ expenses. All personnel are volunteers in the true sense of the word; one who performs or offers to perform a service, out of his or her own free will – without payment. SHRF can almost guarantee that in all but the rarest of cases adopting a Siberian Husky will bring a surprising amount of joy and contentment. Their exuberance, loyalty, affection and penchant for high glee are contagious.
