FAQ’s
We get an abundance of emails and phone calls regarding surrendering huskies, rescuing huskies, and helping with lost huskies. Please take the time to read through our FAQ’s before reaching out to us directly.
Rescues and Huskies in Shelters:
If you are contacting us in regards to rescuing a certain husky from a shelter, please note that we are not able to respond to all requests and have a limited amount of funds and resources to care for every single husky. We do our best to rescue as many as we possibly can but without fosters, funds for medical treatment, and transportation, we are not able to save them all. If you would like to help in the rescue operations, please network and share Shadow Husky Rescue, Inc., raise donations, gather interest from potential fosters and adopters, “Follow” us on Facebook, and share the huskies that you want to see saved.
We are NOT able to pull ANY dog without a Foster or Adopter that has been approved with a filled out and signed foster or adoption agreement and a home check. If you are a third party looking to network these dogs in the shelters please have any foster offer contact us directly so we can get everything done as fast as possible.
We are not able to do a rescue to rescue transfer unless the rescue reaches out to us directly to pull and has a signed transfer agreement with us, an approved foster and home check, as well as a plan for transport if needed.
Surrendering your husky, you found a lost husky, rehoming, etc.:
If you are contacting us in regards to surrendering your husky please text Tim McVicker at (949) 290-3217 and provide your name and address, 10 good photos, spay/neuter/vaccine history, location, reason for surrender, and a temperament story. We do not charge a surrender fee but we do charge a fee to the adopter and we are involved in the selection and screening of any adopter and legal adoption of your dog. You will be required to sign a surrender agreement that will not take effect until your dog is adopted to a new owner. As we are a foster based rescue, we like to foster dogs prior to adoption. For that reason, we prefer that you retain your dog during the process of selecting a new owner. We also need your assistance in helping to arrange for meet and greets, including transport. Your dog should remain in your care until he/she becomes fostered or adopted through Shadow Husky Rescue and will be returned to you if a temporary foster arrangement does not work out until we can find another foster who may ultimately adopt at which point you will give up legal ownership. Due to the overwhelming level of demands from people wanting to surrender their dogs, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to assist, but do not hesitate to follow up in case you do not receive a response right away.
We do not like to see anyone give up their husky, if you have any questions regarding issues that may cause you to want to give up your husky please contact us and we will do our best to help you fix the problem so you do not have to re-home your husky.

Can I come meet your huskies?
We do not have a facility where you can meet all of our adoptable huskies. We are a strictly foster based rescue and all meet and greets need to be arranged with the foster. Our fosters have their own schedules. If you are interested in meeting a specific husky please reach out and we can get something scheduled.
