How to Adopt



**Meet Merida: The Energetic and Loving Husky!**

Merida is a vibrant, young husky with a super sweet personality. This red and white husky mix, with her beautiful brown eyes.

Merida has shown signs of being escape-driven and will require plenty of exercise and training. She needs a home with a secure, fenced-in yard with a minimum fence height of 6 feet. Merida has done well with other dogs and would thrive with doggie playmates.

If you’re looking for an active and affectionate companion, Merida might be the perfect addition to your family!

Merida was one of nine puppies that were born to Ellie. Ellie is a Husky/collie mix. We think the father is all or mostly husky. Timber has a black, white with some brown coat. He has a blue and brown eye. The suspected parents were pulled from a shelter together and have been with us since a few weeks before the puppies were born. 

Her personality may change as she grows older!

If you are interested in adopting this beautiful girl, please fill out an adoption application on our website!

More about this rescue

Siberian Husky Rescue of New Mexico is an all volunteer, 501 (c)(3) rescue organization devoted to rescuing, rehabilitating, and finding new, permanent, loving homes for Siberian Huskies, and often, husky mixes that have ended up neglected, abused, or unwanted.

The organization began in late 1998 when a red Siberian Husky that was not expected to live much longer due to her injuries was saved from a local shelter by the organization’s founder. Over time, as Cinnamon recovered from her injuries, she not only survived but thrived, proving to be a Christmas miracle! Thus was born our motto “Saving Siberians, one life at a time.” From those humble beginnings, many more huskies found their way to the organization, where people across NM volunteered their time, opened their homes, and donated funds to support this cause-for the love of the Siberian Husky.

We are a small rescue, and our dogs reside at either our homes or foster homes until we make a match with an adopting person or family. All of our dogs are spayed or neutered to prevent additional unwanted litters and are given proper veterinary attention and microchipped. The dogs are usually socialized with other dogs so we can determine how they will react around other dogs and humans. Ensuring good nutrition is also part of the dog’s physical healing.

Since Siberians, and most dogs in general, are pack animals, we tend to place most of our dogs with another companion dog or with people who have more time at home. We try to avoid situations where the dog is left alone in the backyard for long periods of time while owners work. Also, as a general rule, Siberians don’t do well in small yards or apartments, as they tend to be active, working dogs with a long history of pulling sleds or “working for a living.” There are always exceptions as each dog is unique. Over time, we have seen almost all of our dogs go to some really great homes! Our mission is truly…"Saving Siberians, One Life at a Time.”
