Surrender a dog

Husky Rescue W.A. is a not-for-profit organization that assists dogs in finding new homes. Our goal is to keep as many dogs as we can, out of rescue and shelters and in the loving arms of their families.
Most people who contact us think they are doing their dog a huge favour by finding him a home that “has more time for him” or “can give him the home he deserves.”. However, most dogs are better off remaining in the home they know and love, even if it means they will get less attention from you.
Of course, this applies to dogs that are being properly cared for and whose basic needs are consistently met. We urge owners to surrender animals to us only as a last resort. Many animal behaviour problems can be treated with training, fencing, and increased attention.
Please de-sex/sterilize your pets. Husky Rescue will accept your dog’s puppies, but we would rather see the birth of more unwanted huskies prevented! Unfortunately change does happen in our lives, as does behavioural problems with our pets, these are the main reasons for surrendering a dog.

Moving house, having a baby, relationship breakdowns, financial pressure, and behavioural problems, are often reasons why people surrender animals to rescue groups or shelters.
