We are an all-volunteer, foster-based rescue specializing in high-energy, working breeds—including Huskies, Australian Kelpies, and Cattle Dogs. Fostering provides dogs with a safe, loving environment while they await their forever families.

• Location: Resident of the Bay Area, Central Valley, or Central Coast.
• Transport: Available to bring dogs to local adoption appointments and/or rescue events.

• Age: Must be at least 25 years old 
• Residency: Must reside in the Hollister, Gilroy, Morgan Hill, Bay Area, Central Valley, or Central Coast.to facilitate vet visits and foster check-ins. 
• Housing & Landlord Approval: Renters must provide written landlord approval explicitly allowing Siberian Huskies and all other breed (as well as weight/breed restrictions clearance). 
• Household Consensus: All adult household members must agree to bring a high-energy foster dog into the home. 
• Dog experience: Has some dog experience or has working dog experience 

Husky-specific rescues have strict secure-housing guidelines due to the breed's natural prey drive, athleticism, and reputation as escape artists:

• Containment & Fencing: Fenced yards generally require secure, non-climbable fencing (typically 6 feet or higher). Ground perimeter checks (no dig-outs underneath) are standard.
• Indoor Living: Rescues strictly require dogs to live indoors as family members, not left unattended outside for long periods. 
• Leash Policy: Huskies must be kept on a leash or within a fully enclosed, secure yard at all times when outside. Off-leash activity in open, unfenced areas or dog parks is usually prohibited for foster dogs. 

• Vaccination & Spay/Neuter: All resident pets in the foster home must be up-to-date on core vaccinations, spayed or neutered, and on flea/tick/heartworm preventatives. 
• Breed Familiarity: While total expert experience isn't always mandatory, rescues heavily favor applicants who understand typical northern breed traits: high energy, vocalization, heavy shedding, escaping tendencies, and prey drive (especially around cats, small dogs, or small livestock). 
• Small Animal Safety: Fosters with cats or small animals must have solid separation capabilities unless the rescue dog is explicitly tested and confirmed cat-safe.

• Daily Care & Exercise: Providing consistent daily physical exercise, mental stimulation, crate training support, and basic obedience. 
• Transport: Willingness to transport the foster dog to partner veterinary appointments (usually covered by the rescue) and Bay Area adoption events or meet-and-greets. 
• Promotion & Updates: Supplying the rescue coordinator with updated photos, videos, and temperament notes to help build the dog's adoption profile.
• Event and Adoption Fair: Must be available to bring foster dogs to adoption appointments and/or events.
