    I need to find a rescue for a Siberian Husky

    I have been asked to find a rescue for my girlfriend's daughter's husky, Riley, because with the baby it is difficult to take care of him because he has seizures. I have attempted the Husky rescues which resulted bounced emails or no response and I just contacted another last night but I figure its going to have the same result. Riley gained a lot of weight once the seizures started two years ago. He is around 5-6 years old and he is on thyroid and phenobarb meds plus prescribed a low fat diet. He is overweight at 68 lbs at the last Vet visit, he is anxious and he needs a better life.

    I assume your friend is also in western PA?

    This Husky rescue is very active in New Jersey.     They cover the tri-state area.
    Here's the website and you can contact them.
    Altho the contact page says for dogs in New Jersey, you can use the INFO address and put a subject line of
    Pennsylvania Dog Needs Help.

    Let me know if you get a response.  

    I have a dog bakery and will be doing an event with Husky House on June 29 at a daycare facility that has teamed to board some of their dogs.
    I know the woman who started the rescue group and she will no doubt be at that event.
    If you haven't gotten any response by then, shoot me a PM with the details of the dog and your email addy, and I'll be sure to pass it along.

    Even if they don't reach that far into PA, I bet they will be able to contact a group that does.   Breed rescue groups, especially, tend to help each other out across the state borders!

    Good luck.   Thanks for helping your friend.

    Did they contact you?

    I'll be seeing the Husky Rescue group on Sunday.    I'll find out if they have contacts in Western PA.
