Meet beautiful Maddie! Maddie currently lives at Husky House Siberian Husky & Fellow K-9 Rescue in New Jersey. She is a sweet eight-year-old Husky/mix who was diagnosed with idiopathic Canine Epilepsy when she was four. In true Epi-dog form, Maddie does not let seizures keep her from enjoying the things she loves, such as food, tennis balls, and snuggling!  As I've always said, dogs with Canine Epilepsy, with a little extra care and lots of love, can live full happy lives! And just look at that happy, smiling face of Maddie's! She is just waiting for her forever family to come and get her! Husky House does stipulate, "Maddie needs a home that can dedicate the time and energy to figuring out her epilepsy. Maddie currently experiences cluster seizures requiring hospitalization at times despite the use of at-home rescue meds. She will need a calm, patient, loving family who can understand and help he with her medical issues." Could that family be you...

You may have heard about the “Itchy 21 Huskies" backyard breeder case in Oklahoma, where there was a hoarding situation with 21 Huskies and/or Husky mixes who were in extremely poor health, including parasites and a contagious form of mange. Pet Angels Rescue network worked tirelessly, along with the Sheriff’s department, to convince the owners of these dogs to surrender them so the rescue could see to it that they received the urgent health care they obviously needed. Thanks to the Siberian Husky Care and Referral Service, we learned of this situation and have joined them to share this story, and hopefully our readers will share as well. According to Pet Angels Rescue, Inc. on their YouCaring fundariser page , “We had to scramble into action as we had learned these dogs had a contagious form of mange and could not share the acre with the other rescued animals.

Of course, we have you, our dedicated readers and listeners for making it so successful! We've had lots of fantastic guests on (check out our Dog Works Radio page HERE and our The Sibe Vibe blog HERE for a complete listing of previous shows you can tune in any time to listen to on your computer. I've been a little tardy in posting stories since we've been away from blogging as much as I used to because, as many of you know from previous postings, I've been focusing on healing our two Huskies, Gibson and Harley, through Conservative Care Management for torn CCLs, and it slow and time-consuming, but that's okay! Slow and easy is our motto right now for them. But, I hope to c...
