Happy !

Today we’re celebrating this incredible and often misunderstood breed by shining a spotlight on the beautiful Malamutes currently in our care, all searching for their forever homes.

Alaskan Malamutes are stoic, intelligent, independent… AND, famously stubborn! Bred for strength, endurance and adventure, they thrive when matched with the right humans who understand them.

At SSDR we specialise in Malamutes because we know just how misjudged they can be in the wrong hands, and just how extraordinary they are in the right ones.

Meet our current SSDR foster dogs:

Hugo, Miah, Odin, Eldur, Nanook, BlueBear and Blue. All unique. All amazing. All ready for their forever home 🏡

Beautiful foster girl Leia the 6-year-old Husky cross isn't in the best of moods today after her spay...

BUT, it does mean that we will now be looking for her forever home in time for when she is healed.

Leia is a very sweet girl that LOVES human company but can be a live wire. She hasn't socialised much with other dogs and can be boisterous so would do well with an easy going dog to match her energy.

Leia is an active girl who likes long walks, and she can be a little needy at times when her humans leave her.

If you would like to offer Leia a forever home or would like to meet her please get in touch www.saintssleddogrescue.co.uk/adoption 💻

We would like to say a HUGE thank you to the Avon and Somerset Snow Dogs walking group for their amazing donation of £950 to help our rescue dogs in need.

Throughout the year they raise funds and awareness for sled dog charities around the UK.

SSDR relies on fundraisers just like this to help us keep on saving sled dogs.

If you would like to make a difference by planning group walks or other fundraising ideas please get in touch for a fundraising pack!!

It has been an incredibly busy start to the year, with 4 dogs coming into our care in just 4 days!!

Meet Marley and Mishka two beautiful boys just over 7 years old, who have sadly spent most of their lives living in a crate.

They have never been walked, never travelled in a car, and have never been socialised outside their home environment. Their family was unable to cope with them and had planned for them to be PTS.

Thankfully, we were able to step in and they are now safe with us.

Marley and Mishka are finally being given the chance to decompress, learn the world isn’t scary, and build confidence at their own pace.

Gaining their trust will take time, this will be a very long journey, and we can’t undo years of neglect overnight.

They are in desperate need of veterinary care, they haven’t seen a vet since 2018. BUT, for now our focus is simply helping them feel safe, calm, and loved.

We currently have £600 in the bank, with ongoing bills and 34 dogs in foster care relying on us.

If you can spare even £1 to help us keep saving dogs like Marley and Mishka, it would mean more than you know.

Every pound helps. Every share helps. Every bit of kindness helps.

Say a BIG welcome to Nanook the handsome 18-month-old Alaskan Malamute who arrived at our kennels last night.

In just a few short weeks, Nanook sadly found himself passed between three different homes before being handed into a vets practice. With his future uncertain and at risk of PTS, we had to step in and help this beautiful boy begin a safer journey toward the forever home he deserves.

Right now, Nanook is understandably confused, anxious, and overwhelmed. Being moved around so much has left him feeling lost, this is the side of rescue that people rarely see, the emotional impact of being bounced from place to place 💔

We are incredibly grateful to Chilworth Vets for helping secure him a placement and giving us the time needed to organise his long journey to Durham. The team kept us updated on his care every step of the way, thank you for going above and beyond for him.

Nanook is ready for a fresh start, and he would LOVE a home to call his own. If you can offer this amazing boy the chance he needs, please get in touch www.saintssleddogrescue.co.uk

And of course… keep your eyes peeled for updates on this cheeky lad, we have a feeling he’s going to steal some hearts 👀

It's SNOW TIME 🥶

Our adorable boy Blue Bear the 5-year-old Malamute is now looking for his forever home!

Blue Bear is a super friendly boy who loves going on adventures with his foster family 🗺️. He does get along with other dogs and has lived with cats in the past and could potentially do so again.

He hasn't lived with children before and has been untested in care.

Foster boy Loki the 4-year-old Siberian Husky is now ready to find his forever family!

Loki is an active boy who likes going on adventures and LOVES playing with the female dog in his foster home. He is looking for a cat and child free home but would like a easy going, playful dog to keep him company.

Loki is a super clever boy who enjoys training, he is currently learning to walk nicely on lead. He can howl initially when left, but soon settles.

Loki does have a cheeky side! He can be a houdini that can open doors, he will steal another dogs food if given the chance and He likes to destroy his tennis ball 🥎

Say 👋 to handsome boy Barney the 10-year-old Jack Russell Terrier.

Barney was sadly left to us at kennels just a few days before Christmas after being with us for 12 weeks.

We had a phone call to say the owner could no longer care for Barney so were asked if we can find him a home.

Barney is a VERY sweet boy who is looking for a quiet home with someone around most of the time. He does bark when left but will settle down eventually. He gets along with other dogs but would prefer a calm, older dog to keep him company.

If you can offer this sweet boy a forever home, please do get in touch www.saintssleddogrescue.co.uk/adoption 💻

Saints Sled Dog Rescue

SSDR is a nationwide, voluntary run non-profit organisation, as we have now been approved for charity status. Our aim is to help as many unwanted and stray Siberian Huskies and Alaskan Malamutes as possible through the process of fostering and rehoming, or simply supporting their owners with help and advice. We also arrange and carry out educational visits across the country, including working and handling demonstrations.

We work alongside other rescue organisations, pounds and dog wardens to help ensure that all dogs are rehomed in the best possible environment for them.

At present, many of these dogs are being purchased and even bred by people who have very little understanding of the needs of these wonderful breeds. Whilst some of the dogs who come into our care do so for genuine reasons, the majority come from puppy farms, back yard breeders and un-informed owners. Through our educational visits and working demonstrations we hope to improve the future for these dogs, whilst we try to help the ones who need us now through rehoming and support.
