BingBlaze n Skyla Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 It takes a lot to surprise an RSPCA inspector but finding eight huskies who need new homes is not an everyday occurrence. When their owner in Barnsley became seriously ill, the RSPCA stepped in to look after the dogs. The Barnsley centre could not take them all so local colleagues around the patch stepped in to help. Four of the huskies were kept together and were taken to the RSPCA in Chesterfield. The arrival of four-year-old Sasha, Rio who is 18 months old, two-and-a-half year old Samson and Alaska the puppy meant the branch now had five huskies in its kennels. Two-year-old Rebel had arrived just a couple of weeks earlier. Richard Woodward, the animal centre manager, admitted it was unusual to get so many at once: " We don't see many huskies coming in at all and to have this number of one breed is extremely unusual. "They're not your average family pet so we are looking for very experienced owners for these dogs and we're going to make sure they're going to the right homes." One of the dogs, 13-week-old Alaska, has already found a new owner. "Huskies are a bit specialist but the same principles apply, they have the same needs as any dogs really.

meeshsalts Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 These dogs need a loving home so if anyone on the site can help that would be great. I better not let Jennifer see this because she will want one but unfortunatly there is no way we have room for an other dog. I think Sarahs tent is bigger than our house.

husky princess Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 sorry to be pedantic (??sp) but why can this be advertised in 'the news room' yet other rspca rehomes (& other centres) can not be put on the rehome section. I'm glad it can be put on here but i dont understand?? I cant imagine for one minute the RSPCA will be giving them away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BingBlaze n Skyla Posted October 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 because its news? its not the actual rspca advertising them? i dunno - if it needs to be removed feel free, its all over fb anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

husky princess Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 They won't! They charge between £170 and £300 for a pedigree dog. Mick goodness £300 is somewhat steep especially as they dont come with papers (unless of course the previous owner hands it over) but surely if there is paperwork they would go back to the breeder (if a descent breeder) or perhaps organisations such as the RSPCA dont do that??

slaves to kaya Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 But i am assuming they will be spayed and have their injections all up to date if not already done for that price, if so, then the price is only what you would pay a vet to do the same.

slaves to kaya Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Yeah I agree it is alot of money. Not sure if they fix their prices or whether its based on the treatment the dog has received whilst in their care. I guess they also have to cover the shelter fees too. better look into our finances before I ring especially with 5 family birthdays in Nov, 2 of which are my hubby and my daughter and with christmas not too far away.
