Delaware Valley Siberian Husky Rescue, Inc.

Adoption Policy and Procedure All Delaware Valley Siberian Husky Rescue (DVSHR) foster dogs are heartworm and parasite negative, vaccinated, and neutered before placement. In the case of dogs too young for neutering, a deposit is required from the adopter. This deposit is fully refunded upon receipt of a neuter certificate. DVSHR volunteers will evaluate a DVSHR dog for health, temperment and behavioral problems prior to placement. The adopter should keep in mind that problems may still exist. An adoption fee is collected to cover vet and housing expenses of DVSHR dogs. Fees vary on age and number of dogs adopted. As a non-profit organization, we require a donation of $500 for Puppies up to 6 months. Unaltered Puppies up to 6 months are $500 + $150 at time of adoption with $150 refund upon proof of spay/neuter. Dogs 6 months to 7 years are $350, dogs 8 - 9 years are $200 and dogs 10+ years are $125 Multiple adoptions or subsequent adoptions are given a $50 discount. To ensure good health of our dogs, each of them is tested for heartworm, on heartworm preventative, tested for fecal parasites and treated when necessary, treated with Sentry FiproGuard Plus to prevent flea and tick infestations, and up-to-date on all shots. Additional testing is completed and treatments provided as needed for any dog exhibiting any health concerns. Prior to placement potential adopters must fill out an APPLICATION and schedule a home check. Upon placement, the adopter is required to sign the ADOPTION CONTRACT. DVSHR will review the application and suggest the best match of available Siberian Huskies to the new home. Support from experieced Siberian Husky owners and trainers is provided to the new family to ensure a happy ending.
