Please! —help us save these rescues!!!

Southern Siberian Rescue normally rescues 35 - 40 dogs each year and we find homes for about 35 dogs. As many of you know this is no easy task. Each and every dog needs vetrinary care, medications, vaccines and treatments for heartworm and disease. This is our sixth year and we are proud of how we run our rescue. Help us continue our good work

Many North Carolinians have read about the Denver, NC rescue... over 386 animals were rescued by Lincoln County Animal Control. Some of these poor animals were Siberian Huskies, many malnurished and ill.

SSR stepped up and took as many as we could, over half of our normal yearly intake! 20+ dogs and pups were taken in by our volunteers. For more info, see our Denver Rescue page.

The food, supplies, medicines and veterinary bills will easy run us over $5000! Until the situation is resolved by the courts, these animals are considered 'evidence' in a criminal trial -we can not even find these dogs new homes. We are committed to their care and welfare until a verdict is rendured! As you can imagine, these dogs are putting a critical strain on our organization!

We need to continue pulling siberians from pounds and shelters! Do not let this one rescue jeapordize other dogs in need!

Welcome to the Southern Siberian Rescue Web Site

Southern Siberian Rescue is a group of dedicated volunteers responsibly rescuing Siberian Huskies in need throughout North Carolina and surrounding states. Our sole purpose and priority is to help unwanted, misunderstood, abandoned or neglected Siberians find homes. We do this by providing needed health care, rehabilitation and training for all our foster dogs and carefully screening potential adopters.

The Siberian Husky is not a breed for everyone and adopters need to understand this breed and all of its quirks and beauty. We also spend a great deal of time educating potential owners and the public about the Siberian Husky, their special requirements, temperament, personalities and traits. We promote the importance of adopting from a reputable rescue or working with a responsible breeder when inviting a Siberian to your home.

If you chose not to rescue, please contact us at SouthernSibes@yahoo.com on how to find a reputable breeder. With so many homeless Siberians and Siberians facing death in shelters, it goes without saying that we are serious advocates on spay and neutering your pets. Not only is it the responsible thing to do, it is the right thing to do medically. Statistics show that unaltered females have a higher risk of mammary cancer and unaltered males are a higher risk for testicular cancer.

Help us fulfill our mission by making a donation to Southern Siberian Rescue today!

Our new Partnership with Nash Correctional Institution in Nashville, NC. We are participating in their “A New Leash on Life” training program. To see the dogs training, click here.

"A New Leash on Life" is a program that allows minimum and medium custody state prisons to partner with local animal shelters and animal welfare agencies to train dogs in preparation for their adoption. It gives inmates a chance to serve communities by training dogs to be well-behaved pets. To read more about our participation, click here.

Each prison facility partners with a local animal shelter, with animal trainers and with local merchants or civic organizations that can support the program with needed supplies and services.

Nash Correctional Institution is seeking sponsors and donations, including but not limited to, dog food, treats, leashes, food and water bowls, flea and tick prevention and other related supplies.
