I want to start rescuing Siberian Huskies (And other sled dogs) but I want to look into it a bit more first and was wondering if anyone could help me out by recommending places I can go or books I can get or websites about it (UK)?
I have 3 Siberian Huskies now and I have completely fallen in love with the breed and I now that there are alot of people who take on a Husky without realizing how demanding and dominant they can be (and powerful) and then they will just abandon them or abuse them!
For this reason I want to help out rescue centres by offering them a helping hand. For example, if they have an abused Husky who is nervous/aggressive towards people/dogs, I will offer to take the dog on and work with him/her to help them gain their courage in people/dogs again and train them and keep then up to date with any medical treatment (flea, worming, other medications), and obviously give them all the general care they require (grooming, feeding, walks) as well so they will be more appealing to potential owners. I think that makes sense.
I am going to enroll myself into a dog training course and have already done 3 years at college studying Animal Management and Care and I am also going to get a job at pet superstore and volunteer at a dog rescue shelter and kennels before I did start to rescue huskies first. Am I going in the right direction to do this?
Thanks
