To rescue and place unwanted, abandoned, and stray animals into loving, responsible homes. To rehabilitate abused or injured animals. To encourage spaying and neutering to help with the overpopulation issue. To promote the humane treatment of ALL animals.

We aim to rescue, rehab and rehome otherwise discared mill and high kill shelter dogs with an affinity for Italian Greyhounds and other small breeds. Our efforts include adoption programs as well as advocacy events to raise awareness of the truth behind mill dogs. We are trying to be the voice for the voiceless and doing our best, saving one dog at a time. Saving one dog won't change the world, but it will change the world for that one dog.

We match the dog with the adopter after our fosters have had time to get to know each of them. At the shows we talk with applicants interested.. We want the best fit possible. Our adopters agree our process helps them find the right fit. We are proud to say after 7 years and almost 1300 dogs adopted, we have only >1% return rate. Our passion for sending them home to the right family makes our work so rewarding.

Our primary mission is to help care for and reduce the number of cats living in our street through a Comprehensive TNR Program. Our secondary mission is to teach respect for life through our work. We work with individuals, communities and municipalities to promote TNR and responsible, humane colony management. We help with sick and injured cats. We work through a foster system to adopt kittens and strays. We do it for the love of cats and because there is such a strong need.

We pull ACD dogs from shelter to avoid euthanisia. We will re-home dogs from private individuals on a case by case basis. We try to educate the adopters and general public at events as to the proper care & trainingof our dogs. We do it because we love the breed and want to reduce animal population by having our dogs spayed and neutered before release to a new home.

Forever Husky is a 501(c)3 non profit charitable organization that aims to improve the quality of life for dogs in shelters and rescues until they find their forever homes.

We specilize in puppy mills or former breeder dogs and find them suitable homes. We have some dogs for years. We reablilate and adopt out. For the love of the dogs and cats.

How We Work Where we get our dogs: Most of our dogs come from animal control facilities (also known as dog pounds or "doggie jail"). They have either been found as strays or abandoned there by their prior owners. We also accept dogs directly from owners who no longer want them - most of the time, it's due to a change in their family circumstances and they find that the dog simply no longer fits into their plans, but sometimes it's truly an unfortunate set of events that require them to relinquish a beloved pet. How do we choose which dogs we accept: There are three main criteria we use to determine which dogs come into our organization for rehoming. First, and most importantly, is the temperament of the dog. In an ideal world, this would be the only criteria we would apply to accepting a dog for rehoming. We try to get as good a behavioral assessment as we can prior to committing to taking the dog. If a dog is still with its owner, we require that the dog be assessed by a professional selected by us before we will agree to accept the dog. Second, whether we have an open foster space available. This, sadly for many dogs, is simply a matter of lucky timing. We have no physical facility, so we have to wait for a dog to be adopted before we have a foster space available (although we dream of having a facility some day). Foster space is definitely the bottleneck in our ability to save more dogs. Third, if we have a way to get the dog transported from where it is to where the foster home is located. We sometimes have a dog in one state, but the open foster space is in a different state. If we have volunteers to help transport, we have to incur expense to board the dog for at least two weeks, get its vaccinations and have a health certificate issued in its home state before we transport the dog across into another state for fostering. If we have the funds and volunteers available, we can save the dog. Where are the dogs located: Once a dog enters our program, he or she lives in a foster home. Our foster homes are in many different states. The dog lives as a member of the foster family until he or she is adopted. The foster parents learn all about the dog and can give potential adopters a detailed description of the dog's personality and quirks. What keeps us going: WE LOVE PHOTOS AND UPDATES! Hearing that our dogs are doing well and that you're happy with them is what keeps us going in this otherwise fairly grim business. Please keep us posted on significant events or just whenever you happen to think of it. We love to hear from you!

We are a small group that fosters in homes and puts the animals first in our decisions. We began Sunrise to make sure that the community was offered low-cost spay/neuter services and a group that truly cared about the discarded and neglected animals in our community.
