Additional adoption info

Our goal is to place our homeless rescues in permanent loving homes as they have already been abandoned once before by their former owners. We strive to place the appropriate dog in the appropriate home. Our application helps us to learn more about you, your home and your level of experience (if any) with this breed.

Once an application has been submitted, we ask that you please be patient. Husky House is run by volunteers that will try our best to get back to you in a timely manner. Please allow us several days to get back to you. We greatly appreciate your patience. Also please note, completion of this application does not guarantee an adoption.

1. Minimum age for adopter is 23 years old.
2. You must reside within a one hour drive from either NYC or Matawan, NJ. We DO NOT do long distance adoptions because we do home visits prior to the pup going to its new home.
3. We do not adopt out Siberian puppies (under 1 year of age) unless you have prior Siberian experience.
4. We DO NOT place in homes that rely on invisible/electric fence as the sole means of containment.
5. We must meet all household members either during the home visit or the meeting/adoption.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?

Why should you adopt?

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.

What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?

When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.

So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
