More Info
Meet our Thor, a handsome husky mix who is eager to please. This beautiful blue-eyed boy is always ready for an adventure, whether it's a walk in the park or a car ride. Thor is sure to be by your side, ready to explore the world together.
Thor is a loyal companion who just needs a bit of time and patience to ease into your heart. Once he feels comfortable, he'll happily melt into your lap. He can get wound up easily, so his ideal person would be someone who can offer patience and help boost his confidence. Thor is very treat-motivated and walks wonderfully on a leash. While he may need some fine-tuning, a little consistency and some chicken treats will go a long way.
Thor came to us heartworm positive but has since made a tremendous recovery and is now eager to get out and explore the world!
He does come with a few quirks. Thor can be a bit anxious and is sensitive around his collar. When he's in a heightened state, it's best to go slow with him. While he tolerates a solid brushing, he hates the dog dryer and considers vacuums his enemy.
Thor can be selective about his canine companions, but he has shown to be a good buddy during our volunteer group walks. He has built strong bonds with his volunteer buddies, which gives us confidence that he will do the same with his forever person.
Thor is looking for someone with patience and consistency to help him thrive. If you have the time and dedication to offer, Thor will reward you with loyalty and love.

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.
