What is Tails of the Tundra Siberian Husky Rescue, Inc.?
Tails of the Tundra Siberian Husky Rescue, Inc. is a nonprofit organization dedicated to finding homes for Siberian Huskies in need and to informing the public about the general characteristics of the breed and the responsibilities of pet ownership.
Our organization is comprised of a network of caring and passionate individuals who give their time to volunteer in a variety of different ways: transport, fostering, checking applications, home checks, training and much more.
Working together and with the continued help of generous people who donate either their time or money to the rescue we hope to reach further into the public to let them know we exist, that the Siberian Husky is not the breed for everyone, and to help as many Siberian Huskies in need as possible. We hope one day to build a shelter, to house homeless Siberian Huskies, to have a vet on staff to keep the rescued dogs healthy, and to have a training facility to work with Siberian Husky owners.
Why do Siberian Huskies need rescue?
There are many reasons why these loving dogs are looking for new homes: some are found stray or abandoned on the side of a road, others are surrendered by their owners. Often, it is changes in the lives of pet owners that are behind most decisions to surrender pets to an animal shelter or a rescue, not unruly dogs. In the case of an unruly dog, it is often because the owner was not familiar with the breed and not informed as to their typical characteristics and traits. These "unruly" dogs, when placed into our care, are evaluated and the foster home can work with each dog and provide them with their emotional and medical needs. In many cases this includes work with the dog on any behavioral or manners problems they might have: food aggression, mouthing, walking on a leash, counter surfing, etc.
Where do the dogs in rescue come from?
The dogs in rescue come from either an animal shelter or directly from an owner surrender. When the rescue receives a call from an owner who is surrendering their dog for a behavioral problem, we strive to try and assist the owner in working out any problems they may be having before rehousing the dog. The majority of the dogs in our foster care come from the animal shelters. There are so many Siberian's in need of homes that we must prioritize the intake of dogs into our limited foster space. The first priority goes to the dogs that are on "death row" at the local shelters. These are the dogs that fill the majority of our space in our foster homes. Since the room in our foster homes is limited, we often have to work with owner surrenders on a referral basis.
