SAVE OUR HUSKIES

Broadcast on every news station across the globe, the shocking story of the brutal slaying of One Hundred Husky dogs, in what is claimed on Wikipedia as the world's best place to live, rocked the whole world. 100 Huskies were slaughtered after the 2010 Winter Olympics because they were no longer needed to pull tourist sleds at a British Columbia ski resort. Since no animal shelter would take them in, the killings were carried out over two days in April by one worker with a shotgun and a knife, with reports of injured dogs crawling out of a mass grave.

Save Our Huskies is a NON-PROFIT which aims at helping unwanted sled-dogs and many other animals facing unthinkable abuse, cruelty, neglect and abandonment, find shelter, nourishment and medical care. Please help support our campaign to fight animal cruelty and to educate the public on responsible pet ownership. You can help save lives by reporting any animal abuse or neglect, or by adopting one of our rescued animals and giving them the loving home they deserve. Please help us make sure that the horrific cruelty in Whistler BC never happens again by helping us support animal shelters that can take in more unwanted animals.

Save Our Huskies is dedicated to saving the lives of Siberian Huskies and other breeds in 8 British Columbia shelters non supported by the BC SPCA. These dogs may be slated for euthanasia due to shelter overcrowding or due to prohibitive costs for medical care. The shelter costs to get any of the dogs ready for adoption include shelter fees, transportation, high quality food, foster care needs, vaccinations, spaying/neutering, micro chipping with paid lifetime registration, pain medications, antibiotics, puppy formula, and anything the dogs need. They are of course vet checked to clear for adoption.

Our shelters have taken in many special needs dogs, including dogs with curable illnesses such as Parvo and Demodex, dogs needing surgery for torn ACLs, Entropion, broken limbs, dogs hit by vehicles, blind dogs and many others with special medical needs. They obtain required veterinary care and rehabilitation until they are ready for their forever homes. These shelters are self-funded rescues and adopt each dog below cost. Your donation allows us to continue our rescue work and help save the lives of animals in need.

Save Our Huskies is truly a labor of love and we cannot accomplish what we do without your help! Your donations are tax deductible.

Responsible Pet Ownership - What Does It Mean?

What you should know before you get a pet

You can not afford to take him to a vet when he gets sick or injured.

You can not afford dog food, a dog house, heartworm and flea prevention.

You can not afford annual rabies and parvo vaccinations.

You can not afford to spay or neuter him.

You do not have a stable living situation which allows dogs.

You do not have a stable job or income.

You don't plan to keep him inside and leash walk him or you don't have a secure fenced area.

You don't plan to socialize him to people and other pets and obedience train him.

You plan to leave him outside without much attention. Dogs who are left neglected outside become unhappy and cause barking problems or worse.

You are getting the dog just for your kids. You will be the one responsible for his care, so don't get a dog just because your son wants one.

You aren't committed to caring for him for his entire 10-15 year lifespan.

So what about a Siberian Husky?
