About Delaware Valley Siberian Husky Rescue

The DVSHR was founded by individuals from the Siberian Husky Club of Delaware Valley, Inc. These individuals were concerned for the well being of Siberian Huskies whose popularity had increased creating a profitable opportunity for puppy mill breeders. Given the lack of general public information on the breeds quirks and the irresistible cuteness of a Siberian puppy, the need for rescue became apparent as shelters received numerous dogs from illprepared owners.

The organization was incorporated in 1995 and registered as a Nonprofit 501(c)(3). The mission of the organization was set to find permanent homes for unwanted Siberian Huskies, provide public education on the breed, and assist Siberian owners in dealing with training issues.

Since its beginning, there have been hundreds of dogs that have found permanent homes though the hard work of the volunteers. The faces and names may change but the efforts of the organization will contiune.

Adoption Policy and Procedure

• All DVSHR foster dogs are heartworm and parasite negative, vaccinated, and neutered before placement.
• In the case of dogs too young for neutering, a deposit is required from the adopter. This deposit is fully refunded upon receipt of a neuter certificate.
• DVSHR volunteers will evaluate a DVSHR dog for health, temperment and behavioral problems prior to placement. The adopter should keep in mind that problems may still exist.
• An adoption fee is collected to cover vet and housing expenses of DVSHR dogs. Fees vary on age and number of dogs adopted. The maximum fee is $225. Senior and multiple dog adoptions will be discounted. For dogs directly placed from a non-DVSHR foster home we request only a donation of $50 from both parties. Any owner turn in either in DVSHR care or owner's home we require a fee of $50 to cover our advertising cost and fees associated with screening applications.
• Prior to placement potential adopters must fill out an APPLICATION and schedule a home check.
• Upon placement, the adopter is required to sign the ADOPTION CONTRACT.
• DVSHR will review the application and suggest the best match of available Siberian Huskies to the new home. Support from experieced Siberian Husky owners and trainers is provided to the new family to ensure a happy ending.
