However, we can only accept dogs into rescue that are in dire circumstances. With resources at a premium, we reserve our available space for dogs that will die in shelters unless we step in to help, and even then we are unable to take them all. If you give up your dog to a shelter, its chances of being adopted are slim. With more dogs than space, every time there is a new arrival, a dog that has been there for a while and not adopted will be euthanized to make room. Most shelters operate on public funds and will euthanize an owner surrender immediately, reserving the limited space for the many strays that are picked up within the various communities.
Some shelters attempt to get the dog into a rescue program for that breed.
A Husky, Inc. fields calls from dozens of shelters and animal control facilities on a daily basis. As quickly as one of our Siberian fosters is placed, the spot is filled from a waiting list that never has less than fifteen in need. We average fifty in foster care at any given time. Our resources are stretched to the limit. It is the same for every rescue group of every breed.
