We truly feel blessed to have the opportunity to adopt such a gentle spirit as Ginger. She helps to fill a very large emotional void left by Conan, our Husky of 13 years. Many thanks to you and all the volunteers that make up So Cal Husky Rescue, you make the world a better place. AAAAAWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Argos has become an important member of our family; even our 13 year-old Labrador likes him! He is well mannered and terribly spoiled. We refer to him as "The king of all dogs." In fact, his regal likeness is featured on my website: www.pleonphoto.com

He joins my four-year-old and me for our three-mile walks at the Rose Bowl. He is extremely popular. Though it takes longer to complete our workout, we have met some nice people, and big friendly dogs! We are blessed to have adopted him and we think he feels the same way.

This is a picture of Lady now. Isn't she beautiful? She looks like a different dog than the one we pulled out of the shelter! She had been picked up as a stray, wearing a collar but no I.D. tags. She was dirty, hungry and exhausted. She was also pregnant, and it looked like she was about to have the puppies any day. The shelter held her for the required period of time, but no one claimed her. That's when they called our rescue and asked if we could take her.

They really didn't want her puppies to be born in the shelter, because they would be at such a high risk of contracting an illness there. And they didn't want Lady to have to experience the stress of giving birth and trying to take care of her puppies in the shelter. We didn't want that either. We picked her up right away and took her to a foster home, where she delivered five healthy puppies just a few days later. When they were old enough (and after they were wormed, vaccinated and spayed or neutered) they were adopted. Lady was also spayed before she was adopted.

While in our foster care, we discovered that Lady was an incredibly gentle, sweet-natured soul. After a few months, she found a home too. She's safe now, and dearly loved. We're so happy we were able to help her and her puppies. They almost certainly wouldn't have survived in the shelter.

From Denali's new owner...

He is so happy here and I am so thrilled to have him. He is a wonderful animal! An absolute joy. He and his new sister Lobo play together and get along just great. She is thrilled to have somebody to run and play with. And Denali loves to run and play! (and run and play, and run and play .....)

Thank you for helping put us together. It's true- you can find love on the internet!

Nicholas' story began when he was only 8 weeks old. He was found by an animal control officer after being hit by a car. He was suffering from a fractured pelvis, among other injuries. (You can read more about this story on his Everything Husky page.) After recovering from his injuries in his foster home, Nicholas found his "forever" home.

Update from Nicholas' new owners: "Nicholas and Dorian get along great! Where one goes, they both are. We are so lucky to have them both. The vet says Nicholas is doing great. We give him one tablet of Arthramine a day to help with his bones and joints. Other than that, he's up on all his vaccinations. Everyone at the pet hospital loves him and says he's a good patient! We were just up to Sacramento over the weekend to a ranch. The dogs loved it!!! Love, Jenn, Brian, Nicholas and Dorian."

Jewel is a 2-year-old Siberian Husky whose former owner kept her and a "wolf hybrid" in his backyard. (Incidentally, wolf hybrids, or "wolf-dogs" as they are also known, do not make good pets.) He paid very little attention to either one of them, so Jewel was essentially "raised" by the wolf hybrid. When the owner decided to move, he did not want to take the dogs with him. The wolf-dog went to a wolf hybrid rescue, and Jewel came to Siberian Husky rescue.

When we got Jewel, she'd had no socialization to the world outside her former owner's yard, and she'd had almost no human contact. She was very shy and skittish. She was afraid of people and did not like to be touched. Her behavior was quite feral, and we were afraid we would not be able to rehabilitate her. Fortunately, that was not the case. We worked with her, and she made amazing progress in a very short time.

Jewel was adopted just a few months ago, and she and her new owner recently completed a basic obedience class with flying colors! She came to visit us at one of our Petsmart adoption days recently. The store was crowded with people and dogs who were new to her. Jewel was a little apprehensive at first, but she was soon letting people pet her and greeting the other dogs with interest. She was even comfortable enough to have her picture taken with her doggy friend, "Karma" (on the left) and Santa!
