How Do I Give Up My Husky?

If you’re in a situation where you can no longer keep your pet, you may wonder, "How do I give up my Husky?" Options for giving up your Husky include surrendering him to a shelter, signing him over to a rescue, or rehoming him yourself. Whatever you choose, take the time to do some research first to ensure your Husky has the best chance of finding a happy, loving home.

How to surrender a Husky to a shelter 

The procedure for surrendering a Husky is usually fairly simple. You’ll meet with an intake specialist, pay a fee, and hand over your dog. While the surrender process is straightforward, you should also take the time to do some research before signing over your Husky.

Learn about the shelter’s save rates, policies regarding how long they’ll keep a dog, and how they handle dogs with health or behavior problems. Doing some research will give you some insight into the potential outcomes for your dog.

Finding a rescue to surrender your dog 

A reputable private rescue is a great way to put up a Husky for adoption because they are usually able to keep pets indefinitely if needed, but it can be difficult to find one with space. Look for a rescue that focuses on Huskies and start there. If you’re willing to be put on a waiting list, that may increase your chances of finding a great rescue to take your dog.

How to rehome a Husky yourself 

Would you like to have a say in what happens to your Husky? If so, then rehoming your dog yourself is the best option. If you’ve never found a home for a dog before then the task can seem overwhelming, but there are some resources available with advice and helpful tools to assist you in finding the perfect home for your pet. Rehome by Adopt a Pet offers useful tips on how to find your Husky a new home and allows you to build a pet profile that millions of potential adopters can view on Adopt a Pet. 

Only you can decide which option is best for you, but the peace of mind you’ll have to find a loving home for your Husky yourself is worth the extra time and effort.
