We have a positive update on our financial situation! As we have been paid back a significant amount of money we were owed after a 3-year battle ($24000), we are down to just $18,500 in debt! A significant improvement from $44000 just a month ago!

If we can get $500 in donations or 1 adoption every month, we can have it paid off in 3.5 years!

The remaining balance owing is primarily vet bills and interest! We are slowly unburing and trying to get afloat enough to resume regular operations.

If we can get down under 10k and retain at least $1000 in donations monthly, we can slowly open to intakes again.

1 dog at a time, we can recover and move onwards and upwards! Please help is knock the debt out even more and faster!

Name: Balto
Breed: Siberian Husky Mix
S*x: Male
Age: 6.5 Years
Dogs: Yes
Cats: No
Kids: Yes!

Hi there, my name is Balto and I was born on March 20 2020. I am friendly and affectionate! I am your typical Siberian Husky and am here seeking a breed-savvy home with secure confinement to keep me safe!

I am a loving, friendly, and affectionate boy who absolutely loves people! I am great with humans of all ages, including babies, toddlers, and children. I have a sweet, social personality and I love spending time outdoors, going for walks, playing fetch, and being around my people. I have lots of personality and love to play.

I enjoy my daily walks and am decent on leash after the initial few minutes of excitement. I also know my basic commands and basic tricks such as shake a paw. In typical breed fashion, my recall needs work and I need a securely fenced area or to always be on a leash. I am not crate trained, but I am house trained and used to being alone for up to 8 hours. I howl for the first 10 minutes or so, and then settle down for the day.

I have been living with other dogs and generally get along well with them. Please no small dogs or cats due to my prey drive however! I don’t greet other dogs well when on leash due to leash reactivity. I will need a careful meet and greet on neutral ground in a fenced area to ensure I will get along with my future fur-siblings.

I would also be great in a home with no other pets… as long as there are children of any age around! I LOVE people of all sizes, and have grown up around babies, toddlers, children and adults. I absolutely love human company and am very people-friendly! I also do not have any resource guarding!

I don’t have many negative traits at all, so I am hoping to find a home quickly! If you know the breed and love the eccentricities, I can keep you on your toes and together we can have an amazing life full of s***k and joy!

I am neutered, up to date on my vaccinations and microchipped. I am ready to go home with you!

• Located in Branchton, ON – $500 adoption fee
• With owner- needs foster or adopter
• Looking for a home since October 2026.

To inquire on adopting Balto, please fill out an application on our website smartrescue.ca or email [email protected]. A home visit, phone interview, and application will be required. To sponsor Balto, please submit our sponsorship form at: https://pci.jotform.com/form/82658461523259

FOOD SPONSORS NEEDED FOR ADOPTABLE ASTRA!

Astra is a picky eater, and finding a kibble that she actually enjoys has been quite the challenge for her fosters. After trying different options, they have finally found a kibble that she really enjoys!

Unfortunately, there’s one little problem… her favourite food comes with a hefty price tag!

ASTRA’S KIBBLE:

-Open Farm RawMix – Tide & Terrain Recipe

* Grain & Legume Free
* 20 lb bag
* Approximately $130 per bag!

As a volunteer-run, foster-based rescue, we do our very best to provide food and necessary supplies for all the dogs in our care.

Our fosters already give so much of their time, love, and energy to helping these dogs, and we never want them to have to cover the cost of their foster dogs’ food out of their own pockets.

However, with Astra’s kibble costing approximately $130 for one bag, keeping her stocked up is a significant expense for our rescue, especially with so many other dogs in our care depending on us for food, veterinary care, medications, and other necessities.

We are hoping to find some wonderful individuals, families, or businesses who would be willing to help sponsor Astra’s special kibble while she continues waiting for her forever home!

Supporters can purchase one bag or multiple bags of Astra’s kibble through our Amazon Wishlist. Every bag donated makes a huge difference!

We are also looking for individuals, families, or businesses who may be interested in becoming monthly food sponsors for Astra! If you would like to commit to sponsoring a bag of Astra’s kibble each month while she waits for her forever home, we would be incredibly grateful. Monthly sponsorships would help provide a more consistent supply of Astra’s favourite food and take some of the financial pressure off both her foster family and our rescue.

Interested in becoming a monthly sponsor? Please send us a private message so we can discuss the details! We have added the exact kibble Astra needs to our Amazon Wishlist, making it easy for supporters to purchase a bag for her!

Thank you to everyone who continues to support us and all the huskies and malamutes in our care. We truly couldn’t do what we do without you! 🐾
