Adopt a Husky Puppy

A friend of mine wants to adopt a puppy. She adopted an Alaskan Malamute a few years ago and he recently passed away so she is looking for a new pup. She wanted a big dog again but not quite as big as a malamute. I suggested adopting a husky puppy.

Siberian husky puppies are very similar to Alaskan Malamute puppies. Both breeds are part of the working group, huskies are just a little smaller. The Alaskan Malamute is an extremely powerful dog. A male Alaskan Malamute usually weighs between 85 and 100 lbs and the females are usually between 75 and 90 lbs. Huskies are a medium sized, smaller boned dog. A male Siberian Husky will usually weigh between 50-70 lbs. while the females are usually between 35-50 lbs.This was exactly what my friend had in mind.

So where do you go when you want to adopt a husky puppy? A great place to start looking for a husky puppy is your local animal shelter. If the shelter does not have any husky puppies available when you’re looking, you can ask them to call you if they should have any husky puppies come in down the line. Most shelters would be more than happy to do this for you. You can also search local Siberian Husky rescue groups.

My friend began the search for her new husky puppy at the local animal shelter. The shelter didn’t have any Siberian Huskies but they suggested using a site called Adopt a Pet.com to find a husky puppy. What an awesome site! It’s a great resource if you want to adopt a pet and I highly recommend using it. You simply type in the breed of dog that you are looking for along with your zip code and the computer does the rest. After my friend typed in  Siberian Husky and her zip code, the computer immediately located all the huskies available for adoption in the specified area. It tells you where they are and also gives you a little background as to how they ended up there. Most of the dogs found using this website are in fact at local shelters. Local really depends on the mile radius that you type in. It saves you a lot of time making phone calls to all of the shelters in your area.

My friend did in deed find a husky puppy to adopt using the adopt a pet website. In fact, she found two husky puppies that had been abandoned and where looking for a home together. She ended up saving two lives rather than one.
