It was a very exciting year for Tails of the Tundra Siberian Husky Rescue (TOTTSHR) and its extended human and canine family. We were founded in May 2000 and in that year over 35 Siberian Husky and Siberian Husky mixes found a "new leash on life" and are now happily sharing their practical jokes, woo-woo's, and escapades with their new families.

Our first success story started with a sweet girl named Kita. Her owner had become ill and was no longer able to care for her. With nowhere to turn, they surrendered her to the local shelter. She came into rescue at the age of 7 1/2 years old on April 28th, 2000. A perfect angel waiting for her perfect home, we knew it wouldn't be long before she would find her forever home. And so it was, that on May 6th, Dinah gladly welcomed Kita into her heart and home.

We'd like to thank all of you who made it possible to give our rescued dogs a second chance at life - the shelter staff who kept the dogs healthy and safe until we could bring them into our rescue organization; the foster families who opened their homes and hearts for temporary housing; the veterinarians who provided expert care for each dog before placement; the volunteers who tirelessly help in transporting dogs, education the public, and raising funds; our adoptive families who are sharing their lives with their new friends; and all or our friends who kindly donated their time and money to help us continue this important work and made this first year a great success.

Keep checking in as we often receive updates from their homes. We hope you enjoy seeing how well these special canines are adjusting to their forever homes as much as we do!
