What is MaPaw Siberian Husky Rescue and Referral Services?
Mapaw Siberian Husky Rescue is an organization dedicated to the caring and placement of Siberian Husky dogs into loving, permanent homes through adoption and referral services.

We consist of experienced and concerned Siberian Husky owners and trainers who "foster" dogs given up by their owners or abandoned in animal shelters. Dogs placed into our care come into our homes where we can evaluate the personality and temperament of each dog and provide emotional and medical needs.

Why is there a Need for Rescues?
Unfortunately, there is a need for rescue groups for each and every breed of dog as well as mixed breeds. A great deal of time and effort is spent in relocating Siberian Huskies who would otherwise be abandoned by their owner or euthanized in animal shelters.

Many wonderful, caring Siberian Huskies are in need of new homes because their owners were not familiar with the breed and not informed as to their characteristics and traits. Owners looking for a guard dog find the Siberian Husky to be far too friendly and sociable.

What are the Benefits of Adopting a Rescue Dog?
Our knowledge of Siberian Huskies and individual attention to each rescue dog enables us to place the dog into a home where the family's lifestyle and dog's personality are compatible resulting in a rewarding and lasting relationship.

Rescue dogs have received all required vaccinations, heartworm preventative and have been spayed or neutered. A home visit will be arranged to aid in a smooth transition and we continue to be available at any time to assist with any questions or concerns about the dog.

How do I adopt a Rescue Dog?
An adoption application is completed indicating the sex, age, color, and type of dog you prefer. The application also helps us understand any specific needs your lifestyle or environment may require, such as children, other pets, etc. Personal and vet references are also requested.

Once an application has been reviewed we can guide you to dogs within our rescue system that we feel would be well suited to your needs. If a specific dog is of interest we will arrange a meeting between you and the dog(s) and introduce them to family members. Upon taking ownership of a rescue dog an Adoption Agreement is completed and an adoption fee of $225.00 is requested, which includes neutering, shots, heartworm bloodwork and parasite preventative.
