My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

In May one of our partner shelters had several Huskies. Knowing we couldn't help them all, we focused on the couple that needed us the most. That means those who would either be overlooked by the average Adopter walking through the shelter or who had been failed too many times.
Dreyer was the first on the list. Dreyer had been seen wandering stray for quite a while. He was finally contained and animal control picked him up and brought him to the shelter. He's estimated to be 9-10 years old.
When we met Dreyer he came to the front of his kennel for pets, but then laid down and wouldn't get back up. He laid in the back portion of his kennel, seemingly overwhelmed by the environment.
Was he a smart rescue? Not at all. With so many dogs in our care needing rehabilitation, it wasn't smart to pull another dog who will likely not be adopted. But, we just couldn't leave him there.
And so Dreyer will likely live out his remaining days in our care. He's still going through the defeated phase where he walks around with his head hung low. His skin was an icky mess under all that hair and we've been slowly making progress getting him healthy again. We can't wait for him to realize he's safe and loved and can just be a Husky! He likes other dogs, but not the 'in-your-face' type. He'd prefer to be an only dog or just coexist with others.
 
But we're sharing Dreyer for adoption because, well, stranger things have happened. Sometimes there's a special person out there who looks to adopt those senior dogs to let them live out the rest of their days in a loving home. We hope you're that person and we hope you chose Dreyer!


~~Husky Education And Rescue Team is a foster based rescue. Our dogs are in our foster homes all up and down the east coast. We do not have a facility in which you can visit. We find this a huge benefit because we learn our dogs and are able to educate our adopters on what it’s like to have them live in your home. Part of our process, once pre-approved, is to speak with the foster for the dog you’re interested in. If you’re still interested in adopting from our rescue the first step is to complete our adoption application online at www.huskyrescueteam.org/apply

More about this rescue

We are a 501(c) (3) nonprofit animal rescue organization. Our organization saves, rehabilitates, and rehomes Siberian Huskies (and other breeds of dogs) who are abandoned and are in kill shelters. We provide medical and behavioral services and rehome them to compatible families. We do this through volunteer efforts. Most of the dogs in need will come from the Southern States where the shelter kill rate is higher. We have a network of foster homes along the East Coast, while our adoption locations can be found in Maryland and New Jersey.
