Story
Ray is a sweetheart seeking a loving home where he can spend his golden years. At 10 years young, Ray is housetrained, and loves naps and short walks, though he has some hearing loss. He thrives on human companionship and would be the perfect match for someone who appreciates life’s slower pace. My elderly mom is no longer able to provide adequate care for Ray; dog ownership has become quite taxing on her. Please give Ray the retirement he deserves – come meet this lovable boy today!

Story
Molly is an absolute sweetheart! She is such a loving and loyal dog. She loves to play, run, fetch, and be outside. When the day is done she wants to cuddle and lay by your feet. She is also one of the most adorable looking dogs ever. She is such a joy! We rescued her when she was 6 months old. She has been a good companion for our other dog and they have gotten along for several years. She has some anxiety issues that we attribute to her being a rescue. This causes her to get a little over excited at times and it presents physically. In a moment of excitement she has nipped at our other dog before. She otherwise has been perfectly fine in every other setting with other dogs in our family as well as in public and at the dog park. Molly has a problem with small children. We attribute this to being a rescue as well and as a response to being anxious and scared. We have small children now and cannot take any chances. She would do great in a home with no small children.

Snoopy has been with us for 7 years, purchased shortly after birth, and has been an exceptional dog. Unfortunately, with increasing work obligations and limited help around the house, it has become hard to devote the time to him that he deserves.

Story
I've had Captain for over 10 Years and she is an amazing dog. I recently obtained a job that has me traveling and I'm not able to give her the care and love all she deserves. I'm flexible on the rehoming timeframe and maybe if I get a different job in a few years maybe I can ask to get her back, but for now I believe this is the best life for her.

Story
www.huskyrescueteam.org    If you have additional questions please email info@huskyrescueteam.orgWelcoming Buddy, to the H-E-A-R-T pack! Buddy was a stray in NC. He's approximately 5 1/2 years old and has a lovely temperament! Buddy had many medical issues we've had to address so he's been with us for a while. He required FHO surgery to fix a hip injury he sustained early in life. Likely from trauma of some sort and he was heartworm positive. Now that he's all fixed up, his last step is to find his forever home. Buddy is dog friendly but would also be fine as an only dog. He coexists nicely but isn't a player. He loves human attention and likes to go for car rides. His main goal in life is human affection. Buddy is: Completely housebroken Moderate energy Strong on a leash Good with other dogs Good with children Would be okay being leash walked instead of having a fenced yard Allowed on furniture Not a fan of the vacuum or mop Buddy's ideal home is someone who works from home and has a place for Buddy to lay and sun bathe with the occasional job to chase the bunnies. Buddy loves car rides so would like his human to take him for some rides to sniff his nose out of a cracked window. Someone who likes movie nights in and will let buddy snuggle up against them.  Buddy is being fostered in MD.  Adoption area: NJ to NC.~~Husky Education And Rescue Team is a foster based rescue. Our dogs are in our foster homes all up and down the east coast. We do not have a facility in which you can visit. We find this a huge benefit because we learn our dogs and are able to educate our adopters on what it’s like to have them live in your home. Part of our process, once pre-approved, is to speak with the foster for the dog you’re interested in. If you’re still interested in adopting from our rescue the first step is to complete our adoption application online at www.huskyrescueteam.org/apply     If you have additional questions please email  info@huskyrescueteam.orgJuly 24, 2024, 10:50 pm

Charlie is a 1-2 year old Shepherd/Husky mix new to the H-E-A-R-T program. We don't know anything about his past because he was a stray. But he's a super smart, happy guy.

He's being fostered in NC but can be transported for the right family! Adoption area NJ to NC. www.huskyrescueteam.org~~Husky Education And Rescue Team is a foster based rescue.
