ADOPT YOUR NEW BEST FRIEND
STEP TO STEP DETAIL OF OUR ADOPTION PROCESS
STEP 1
RESEARCH
Husky and Herding breed dogs are truly unique and make wonderful companions for the right person. Before taking the plunge, it's important to do your research and make sure you're ready for the commitment of caring for one of these amazing dogs for the next 12-17 years. Let's dive in and explore all the amazing qualities of Nordic breed dogs together!
STEP 2
COMPLETE AND SUBMIT ADOPTION QUESTIONNAIRE
If you are considering adoption, First we will ask you to fill out an adoption questionnaire. The Online Adoption Questionnaire is Located on this Page You may find some of the questions a little strange, but they are very important to us in helping you find the right dog. Many people are surprised by how rigorous we are when matching people to dogs, and even if you, and your family, are capable of taking care of these special dogs. The breed is known for being great escape artists, as well as prey driven. They are NOT typical dogs. We want to try to make sure it is a good fit for you and the dog.
STEP 3
We find it important to include your entire family when meeting a potential dog you’re considering for your family. We also encourage you to bring your own dog(s) to meet with a dog you may like, and see if they agree with the dog . This is especially important, because some of these dogs have had very difficult lives, and may not be comfortable with certain other dogs.

MEET AND GREET
IT’S A FAMILY AFFAIR
STEP 4
Once you have filled out a form and the Meet and Greet when well, we will ask to do a home inspection. If you have no fence or live in an Apartment or an Condo We will still adopt to you , We will just ask how are you going to take him or her out and etc. This is required of all potential adopters. We are primarily looking at your fence to see if it will possibly contain these high energy dogs. A six foot, very secure fence, or a kennel, is usually required. If needed, we will ask you to repair the fence before we allow the dog to be brought to its new home. We also want to see where the dog will sleep, if you have items that need removing away from the fence (they use these as launching pads to get out), and we may recommend certain items in your home to be moved or removed, either for the dog’s health, or the protection of your property.

ADOPT YOUR NEW BEST FRIEND
If you decide you want to adopt, and we have approved your home environment for these breeds, you will be asked to fill out an Adoption Contract Once the contract is signed and the Adoption fee is received, we will provide you with a completed copy of the contract, medical records, microchip information, and a Doggie Adoption Goodies bag. We appreciate your interest in adopting a furry friend and look forward to working with you in the future.
WHY WOULD WOOF DEN HUSKY AND HERDING RESCUE NEED MEDICAL CARE
Woof Den Husky and Herding Rescue will pull dogs from shelters with treatable medical conditions. We nurse them and get them the veterinary care they need while finding them homes. In recent times we have treated dogs for conditions ranging from torn knee ligaments, heartworm and hookworm, to broken bones and gunshot wounds.
Most come from California shelters. Realize, many of the local shelters are “kill” shelters; they euthanize the dogs that are not adopted or recovered quickly. We try to work with the shelters as much as possible, even putting dogs up on our site while still in the shelter.
We also sometimes have owner surrenders; people who can no longer keep their dog, for whatever reason. If at all possible, we encourage owners to keep the dogs with them while we try to find the dog a new home. This is less traumatic for the dog.
