Siberian Husky and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption

Chad Needs a Foster or Adopter by 3/21/26 to Secure His Ride to Wisconsin

Chad is currently in a kill shelter in Georgia and needs a FOSTER or ADOPTER to secure his
spot on the 3/21/26 transport to Cedarburg, WI with Mutt Life Dog Rescue. A committed home is
required for him to make the trip, and we’re hopeful the right person is out there.

Meet Chad

Chad is a 1-year-old Siberian Husky who is ready for a fresh start. He came into the shelter as a
stray and, sadly, no one came to reclaim him. Now he’s hoping someone will give him the
second chance he deserves.

Chad is a silly, goofy boy with a sweet and affectionate personality. He absolutely loves belly rubs and hugs and can be just a bit of a velcro dog — happiest when he’s close to his people.

He’s very treat motivated, which makes him eager to learn and fun to work with.

In new situations, Chad can be a little unsure and may do an adorable belly crawl while he
builds confidence. Once he feels comfortable, his playful side shines. He enjoys playing with
other dogs and tends to be more submissive during play, especially with his friend Karen. He
would likely do well with another friendly dog. Cats and kids are currently unknown.

Chad weighs 45 lbs, is heartworm negative, and is not yet neutered. He has decent leash
manners and, like any young husky, will benefit from continued structure, exercise, and positive
reinforcement training.

Age: 1 year
Gender: Male (not yet neutered)
Weight: 45 lbs
Breed: Siberian Husky
Spayed/Neutered: No
Potty Trained: Unsure

Chad is available for the 3/21/26 transport and is ready to keep moving forward. He would love
a foster or adoptive home to help make that happen.

ADOPTION PROCESS:
1.) Apply: Fill out an adoption application completely and submit all necessary documents.

2.) Application Decision: approved applicants will be notified via phone call and email.

3.) Foster-to-Adopt Trial Period: After approval, you have the opportunity to do a meet and greet and bring your dog home! You get a 5-day foster-to-adopt (FTA) period to make sure it's the right fit.

4.) Final Decision: By the end of the FTA period, please let us know your final decision to adopt or return the dog to our rescue.

5.) Home Visit: After the adoption process, we conduct a home visit either in person or via Zoom meeting to ensure that everything is going well with the transition and to answer any final questions you may have.

6.) Neuter/spay for puppies: for dogs who are not fixed at the time of adoption, we will reimburse for the procedure once we receive proof of spay/neuter. The procedure MUST be done at HAWS Snip Clinic in Waukesha, WI, or Wisconsin Community Veterinarian Center in Madison, WI. If you would like to go through your veterinarian or another location, we will reimburse $150 once we receive proof of the procedure. We recommend spay/neuter around 6 months old.

**Note: Adoptions are not considered final until the dog is neutered/spayed if applicable**

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.

The Siberian Husky is a medium sized working dog breed known for its striking appearance and friendly demeanor. Originating from Siberia, these dogs are well adapted to cold climates and are recognizable for their distinctive wolf like appearance, including piercing almond shaped eyes and a thick double coat. Siberian Huskies are known for their high energy levels, intelligence, and strong willed nature, making them best suited for active families and experienced dog owners who can provide them with plenty of exercise and mental stimulation.
