 About
SNO
Siberians Needing Owners (SNO) is a non-profit
501(c)3 organization comprised of individuals and foster homes dedicated to the
care, understanding, rehabilitation and adoption of Siberian Huskies
(and other sled dogs). It is
our goal to make life better for some of the thousands of lost, unwanted
and homeless Huskies while at the same time helping to educate our youth
and their parents to the need for spay/neuter and life long commitment
to all pets.
The advantage of adopting a dog from a breed
specific rescue
group is two fold; first, you receive first-hand knowledge about the breed
from experienced Siberian Husky owners; second, you get information
about the individual dog you hope to adopt, it's
temperament, training capabilities and social skills.
Our
Commitment
SNO members are committed to placing these delightful animals
in the best possible home with continued on-going support and advice. SNO makes a life-time commitment to their foster
dogs and always accepts back any dog for whom the adoptive family can no
longer provide the proper care and love.
Dogs
Available
Most of the dogs listed on our adoption page have
come from shelters in close proximity to a SNO foster home. All dogs are
spayed/neutered, up to date on shots and assessed for temperament before
placement. Also listed on our adoption page are
shelters and individuals needing to find adoptive homes. This service is
provided to help with placement and the information posted is not
verified by SNO or it's members. Please call the contact number provided
to obtain adoption information.
