Placement Services
Do you really need a home for your dog?
In many instances, the reasons for requesting a new home for a Siberian Husky are related to lifestyle or training issues. Here some things to
consider:
Any change in your schedule can stress the dog and cause destructive behavior. When changes occur in your life, you will need to help the dog adjust. Try contacting the rescue for training suggestions so that you can keep your dog. training@siberianhuskyrescue.org
The arrival of a new baby is an exciting time for the family and a stressful time for the pet. It is important to work with preparing the dog for new arrival. Consider the books suggested on our donations page for help in Childproofing your dog at Amazon.com Your purchase will support
DVSHR.
Some people feel they have no time or
need a 'better life' for their Siberian Husky. This is NOT an
urgent matter. If you can provide food, shelter, and a few minutes
a day for your dog, then your dog is better off than many others in
need. Not every home has large fenced yards or people who are home
all day. These rare homes are limited. Consider keeping your
Siberian Husky.
Some families want to place the dogs due
to a family member with allergies. We have worked with some
families to find ways of keeping their pets in these cases. Maybe
we can help you as well. More frequent bathing, pet free zones in
the home, or keeping the dog outside more frequently will often help
with these problems. In some instances they will not.
Placement Policy and Procedures
If after further consideration you still must find a home for your dog, contact us via mail at DVSHR Inc, P.O. BOX 773, Horsham PA 19044 or
e-mail: placement@siberianhuskyrescue.org READ
ALL FOLLOWING INFORMATION BEFORE YOU CONTACT US!
A photo of the dog will expedite placement and will allow us to verify that it is a pure breed Siberian Husky. If you do not have a digital camera or scanner to create a jpg file for sending via e-mail, you can take a photo to any copy center or photo shop that will scan the image to disk for a fee.
We do not always have foster space available. Dogs come into the rescue foster program on a case by case basis and as space allows. You may be required to hold your dog until a suitable home is
found or space in foster care opens up. You should request information on
the space available before assuming your dog can be taken in. Other
options for more urgent cases can be discussed when needed.
A copy of all current vet records will be required for adoption or intake into foster care. Have your records ready. If the dog is not spayed or neutered or behind on the vaccines, this will delay placement.
The DVSHR will only take into foster care pure
breed Siberian Huskies. Proof of breeding, such as papers, is not required
as many of our members can determine a pure breed from a Siberian Mix. We
suggest you visit http://www.petfinder.org
for organizations that will place mixed breed dogs. On occasion we will
list mixed breeds in our dogs available listings for a donation. The owner
of the mixed breed dog will have to screen the homes of those interested in
adopting their mixed breed dog.
Dogs that have bitten someone will require
further temperament testing and evaluation before placement can be done.
The owners of biting dogs will have to discuss this with the intake committee at
placement@siberianhuskyrescue.org
