Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum.

Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help!

| Not a reputable rescue nor breeder. SaraB has talked extensively with this guy. He doesn't even neuter his " rescue" dogs. _________________ Force Free Training ThreadCheyenne, Mishka, Mickey, Rodeo, & Odin Are you a Husky owner in South Florida?! Join our facebook meetup group! |

| Yep. I went on a rant about that guy in a past post (though I left him unnamed). Are you looking for a puppy or adult? The siberian husky rescue of FL and Husky Haven of FL both have a ton of sibes right now. Even my mom, who does all breed rescue, had one (found her a home today, but we're not sure if it's going to stick or not. We might be getting her back.). I also know of a few reputable breeders in FL and GA.
The issues I have with that guy is he doesn't get the hips checked on the parents. His excuse for breeding is to help pay for his rescue. He doesn't show or do anything like agility, obedience, etc. with his dogs. He adopts out unneutered/unspayed dogs which I believe is illegal for a rescue or shelter to do in FL. He also made a website for sibe breeders and it pretty much gives BYB's and puppy mills free advertising (we'll he does get $25 from each member each year of course!). He seems like he's really only in it for the money, since a lot of the rescues he doesn't even keep at his house, he just finds homes for them while the dog is still at the old home (which isn't a bad thing, but I wouldn't call that a rescue). _________________ -Sara |

| Oh there is a really pretty red male down in south fl that someone found and needs to find a home. He's a very pretty boy! I don't think he's actually in the rescue. He's just with the guy who found him.

| We had 3 rescues pop up here in the Pensacola area over the weekend, if you're interested talk to Mermaidista here on the forum, she's coordinating the rescue effort in this part of the state.
FWIW, I did go through this breeder to get Ghost. I didn't know enough at the time to see the red flags until I paid my deposit and he said "oh by the way my friend has the puppies that are almost ready". By then, I knew it probably wasn't the best but I was invested both financially and emotionally so I went ahead with it. So far everything has been ok, but you can bet your butt I'm getting her hips checked at 2 years old. _________________ Shadow's Blog Canine Hydrocephalus Support on Facebook "Being the parent of a special-needs pet means living your life constantly poised on the edge of a double-edged sword. On the one hand, you become a fierce defender of the ways in which your little one is perfectly ordinary — all the things he or she can do that are just like what everybody else does. And yet, you never lose sight of how absolutely extraordinary that very ordinariness is, how difficult, remarkable and rewarding that fight to be 'just like everybody else' has been." -Gwen Cooper, "Homer's Odyssey" Shadow - 03/01/2013 - 10/02/2014 |

| I won't comment on the website or anything but I was browsing and found this poem on there... I've turned into a right soppy individual lately and this brought more than one tear to my eye! (It is quite long so I put it in a spoiler, just hit the grey box to read). How Could You? By Jim Willis 2001 - Spoiler:
When I was a puppy, I entertained you with my antics and made you laugh. You called me your child, and despite a number of chewed shoes and a couple of murdered throw pillows, I became your best friend. Whenever I was "bad", you'd shake your finger at me and ask "How could you?" -but then you'd relent, and roll me over for a belly rub. My housebreaking took a little longer than expected, because you were terribly busy, but we worked on that together. I remember those nights of nuzzling you in bed and listening to your confidences and secret dreams, and I believed that life could not be anymore perfect. We went for long walks and runs in the park, car rides, stops for ice cream (I only got the cone because "ice cream is bad for dogs," you said), and I took long naps in the sun waiting for you to come home at the end of the day.
Gradually, you began spending more time at work and on your career, and more time searching for a human mate. I waited for you patiently, comforted you through heartbreaks and disappointments, never chided you about bad decisions, and romped with glee at your home comings, and when you fell in love. She, now your wife, is not a "dog person"-still I welcomed her into our home, tried to show her affection, and obeyed her. I was happy because you were happy.
Then the human babies came along and I shared you excitement. I was fascinated by their pinkness, how they smelled, and I wanted to mother them, too. Only she and you worried that I might hurt them, and I spent most of my time banished to another room, or to a dog crate. Oh, how I wanted to love them, but I became a "prisoner of love." As they began to grow, I became their friend. They clung to my fur and pulled themselves upon wobbly legs, poked fingers in my eyes, investigated my ears, and gave me kisses on my nose. I loved everything about them and their touch-because your touch was now so infrequent-and I would have defended them with my life if need be. I would sneak into their beds and listen to their worries and secret dreams, and together we waited for the sound of your car in the driveway.
There had been a time, when others asked you if you had a dog, that you produced a photo of me from your wallet and told them stories about me. These past few years, you just answered "yes" and changed the subject. I had gone from being "your dog" to "just a dog," and you resented every expenditure on my behalf. Now, you have a new career opportunity in another city, and you and they will be moving to an apartment that does not allow pets. You've made the right decision for your "family," but there was a time when I was your only family. I was excited about the car ride until we arrived at the animal shelter. It smelled of dogs and cats, of fear, of hopelessness. You filled out the paperwork and said "I know you will find a good home for her". They shrugged and gave you a pained look. They understand the realities facing a middle-aged dog, even one with "papers." You had to pry your son's fingers loose from my collar as he screamed "No, Daddy! Please don't let them take my dog!" And I worried for him, and what lessons you had just taught him about friendship and loyalty, about love and responsibility, and about respect for all life. You gave me a good-bye pat on the head, avoided my eyes, and politely refused to take my collar and leash with you. You had a deadline to meet and now I have one, too.
After you left, the two nice ladies said you probably knew about your upcoming move months ago and made no attempt to find me another good home. They shook their heads and asked...."How could you?"
They are as attentive to us here in the shelter as their busy schedules allow. They feed us, of course, but I lost my appetite days ago. At first, whenever anyone passed my pen, I rushed to the front, hoping it was you-that you had changed your mind-that this was all a bad dream ... or I hoped it would at least be someone who cared,..... anyone who might save me. When I realized I could not compete with the frolicking for attention of happy puppies, oblivious to their own fate, I retreated to a far corner and waited.
I heard her footsteps as she came for me at the end of the day, and I padded along the aisle after her to a separate room. A blissfully quiet room. She placed me on the table and rubbed my ears, and told me not to worry. My heart pounded in anticipation of what was to come, but there was also a sense of relief. The prisoner of love had run out of days. As is my nature, I was more concerned about her. The burden which she bears weighs heavily on her, and I know that, the same way I knew your every mood. She gently placed a tourniquet around my foreleg as a tear ran down her cheek. I licked her hand in the same way I used to comfort you so many years ago. She expertly slid the hypodermic needle into my vein. As I felt the sting and the cool liquid coursing through my body, I lay down sleepily, looked into her kind eyes and murmured "How could you?" Perhaps because she understood my dog speak, she said "I'm so sorry." She hugged me, and hurriedly explained it was her job to make sure I went to a better place, where I wouldn't be ignored or abused or abandoned, or have to fend for myself-a place of love and light so very different from this earthly place. And with my last bit of energy, I tried to convey to her with a thump of my tail that my "How could you?" was not directed at her. It was you, My Beloved Master, I was thinking of. I will think of you and wait for you forever. May everyone in your life continue to show you so much loyalty. The End A note from the author: If "How Could You?" brought tears to your eyes as you read it, as it did to mine as I wrote it, it is because it is the composite story of the millions of formerly owned pets who die each year in American and Canadian animal shelters. Anyone is welcome to distribute the essay for a noncommercial purpose, as long as it is properly attributed with the copyright notice. Please use it to help educate, on your websites, in newsletters, on animal shelter and vet office bulletin boards. Tell the public that the decision to add a pet to the family is an important one for life, that animals deserve our love and sensible care, that finding another appropriate home for your animal is your responsibility and any local humane society or animal welfare league can offer you good advice, and that all life is precious. Please do your part to stop the killing, and encourage adoption. |

If you are still considering a second dog, fostering would be a great way to interact with another dog in your home and get your dog used to a second dog as well. At least until you find your red/white boy! |

| thanx everyone, ill stay away from them then. would really prefer to have a puppy so we could be the ones to raise it. not sure if fostering would work here, wife would get attached to any dog quick and it would be hard to let go to its new home. if i came across a rescue like were looking for i would look more into it, but i will need alot of info b4 i foster, not just gonna blindly fill out a foster app. |

| They are pretty predominant in Florida, can't imagine any rescue having you "blindly" fill out an app. ??

Edited to note, good quality rescues actually are quite strict with their fostering. SHRF unfortunately had to turn down two foster homes this past week.
It's on the rare side to get really young puppies at a rescue, but it does happen. If you're heart is set on a red/white male puppy, try the Siberian Husky Club referral section:

Go to "Owning Siberians" ------>"Referral Directory" |
