CARRINGTON Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 So yesterday while I volunteered at my local humane society they have another husky at the shelter. That has made 3 or 4 since January. I am not sure how many they receive a year or anything like that, but I know that a lot of people want huskies around here for their looks. So I had a dream last night where I went to the head of the humane society to ask them about me possibly coming in once a week to work with the huskies one on one and also making the adoption process for adopting them a little more difficult such as having home checks and having people who have done research or know the breed being the ones who adopted the breed as well as making resources available to the public on what to expect from a husky and other sites that can visit. In my dream I was just laughed out of the building but as I woke up I realized that this may be something I would consider doing. Does any have any experience trying to make this happen in their local shelters? What is the best way to go about this or does this just sound like a lost cause?

mydiamond Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 I think that is a wonderful idea maybe you need some H-O cards to hand out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleLuka Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 from personal experience unless you're working with a rescue and pulling the dog from the shelter they're are not going to want to make the adoption process any more difficult. The Humane Society might be different, as we usually only pull from kill-shelters. Sadly, many huskies wind up being BACK at the shelter due to bad owners or just owners with inexperience. i'd say the best thing you could do (if they refuse, which they might) is to EDUCATE. cross post dogs on facebook (if you have one) and make yourself available to give information, whether it be your own personal struggles with Balto, training tips, etc. Some people will listen, some won't but it does help.

LuvMyKai Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 Go for it! Its a brilliant idea, and hopefully if it works, there will be many happy, grateful huskies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
