More Info
Hi, I am Chase. I’ve been living at my temporary home at Free Spirit for a couple of years now, but I am eagerly searching for my forever home. I am looking for a special person or family who can understand and work with me on my unique needs.

I have a habit of keeping things I find, so I need someone who can help me learn the “trading up” and “leave it” cues. Shelter life has been more challenging for me than for most, so I will need a calm and patient environment where I can gradually adjust to my new surroundings.

In my new home, I will thrive with space, a consistent routine, and plenty of reassurance. It's important that I am shown unconditional love and that my new family is willing to build trust with me over time. Loving me requires patience and a strong will to support me as I learn new skills to manage my guarding behavior.

I absolutely love playing with my ball in the play yard. It's one of my favorite activities and really helps get out my energy and have fun. Despite my quirks, I am a very affectionate boy. I find great comfort in being by your side and will be a loyal companion. Come meet me and see for yourself the love and loyalty I can offer. Take a chance on me, and let's start our journey together.

This dog requires an adopter to come out to the rescue three times in order to build up trust and form a bond with this dog before going home. Please talk to your adoption coordinator regarding the behaviors we have been working with this particular dog and the training techniques we have seen improvement with. We will also need the name and number of the trainer you plan on using before they will go home.

After reviewing your application, we will contact you by email to schedule an interview.

3.

If the interview goes well and all references are verified, we will approve the application.

4.

Once approved, we will arrange a meet and greet with the desired pet(s) for adoption.

5.

If a match is found, we will proceed with signing the adoption contract.

6.

After the contract is signed, we deliver the pet to their potential new home and complete the final stage: the home check.

Additional adoption info

We review and pre-screen applications in the order they are received. If we have any immediate questions or concerns, we contact you by email. If the application looks good on paper, we have one of our Adoption Coordinators call for a phone interview. We'll check references (including landlord and vet if appropriate). Depending on the responsiveness of the references, this step can take some time. Our adoption screening process allows us to get to know you and your family, so that we can make informed suggestions about dogs that would best suit your personality, lifestyle, and household (including other adults, kids, current dogs, and cats).

If you are approved for adoption, we'll then arrange a time for you to come to the rescue and meet some of the rescue dogs. Because we are an all volunteer run organization, we need to schedule a time for you to visit the rescue. Appointment times are limited and are reserved for individuals/families who have been approved for adoption. We require all household members, including current dogs, to be present at the appointment. The meet and greet helps to ensure that the dog is a good match for your family in general and any current dog(s) in particular. Current dogs/cats must be spayed/neutered, up to date on all vaccines, on Heartworm prevention medication, and kept inside as indoor family members (per the terms and conditions of our Adoption Contract).

We cannot hold dogs and cannot guarantee that a particular dog will still be available at the time of the appointment. We also suggest that you review our website (http://huskyrescue.org/rescueanimals.php) for the most current information and do your best to identify a few dogs that you may be interested in. Additionally, if you can explain why you've selected them that also helps us to identify the characteristics that are most important to you which will assist us in making a better match between you and a potential dog.

If an adoption match is made, you should be prepared to provide a deposit by cash or check. A minimum of ½ of the adoption fee is required. Note that adoption fees vary by age of the dog. Please visit our website for a detailed scale and information about what the adoption fee covers.

You will then schedule a delivery date. The dog will be groomed prior to going home and delivered at a later scheduled date with all medical records. Dogs will not be delivered the same day as the adoption appointment. We must transport the dog to you in order to do a home inspection at the time of delivery.

If you meet the above requirements with your current dog/cat, are over 21, within a four-hour drive of Harvard, IL and are interested in adopting through us, please fill out an application at http://huskyrescue.org/index.php.

If you have any additional questions, please contact us at adoptions@huskyrescue.org.

We look forward to receiving your application.
