Rescue workI have been doing rescue work for Huskies as part of Husky Rescue S.A. since 2008 after I rescued my first few Huskies in 2007. Up to date 2010 it has been 50 Huskies that I have placed in new homes. Working with rescue dogs is for many people very heart breaking and yes I understand that and agree, but it can be very rewarding when you see a dog that just has not been understood suddenly have a light bulb moment where he or she just knows how to be a dog again. There are a lot of abused and neglected Huskies and dogs for that matter out there and we will never be able to help them all. But we do make a difference for some. To me the biggest thing is to help educate Husky owners on training and general care and exercise for their dogs as this is what in the long run will make the ultimate difference in more dogs life's. Many pet dog owners do not intend harm to their dogs or to neglect them. Neglect is not just shelter, food and water but... exercise and attention. Most of the Huskies we re home is from pet owners and not always badly abused dogs as most would think. Rescuing dogs can become just a cure to a symptom of the disease and not an cure to the source of the problem. This is why I strongly believe in helping people better understand their dogs and not to judge them. Re-homing a Husky is not always a bad choice but there are steps that need to be taken before doing so. As to everything in life we need knowledge and then the will to apply that in a positive way. There is a lot of resources available and I hope that this web site will be a step in the right direction for you and your Husky. In the following link you can read about what we as Husky Rescue S.A do to try and help.
