Meet our newest arrivals!

We were recently approached by a council to assist someone in crisis who had two malamutes and their six 2-week-old puppies. Naturally, we couldn’t say no.

When we picked them up, we quickly realised that while the puppies look like malamutes, Mom and Dad definitely have their own unique look—surprise!

Please join us in welcoming Mumma Blue, Dad Red, and all their adorable pups to Saints. If you'd like to support their care, donations can be made via PayPal at [email protected] or through our bank account:

Take a look at foster duo Storm and Zynra!!

Storm is a 12-years-young Alaskan Malamute and Zynra is a 6-year-old Husky cross. This beautiful pair are looking for a forever home together after they accidentally set fire to their family home 🔥😳.

While in foster care they have been affectionate and easy going with no issues being left at home. They are looking for a home with older children, potentially other calm dogs and no small furries or cats.

Storm does show signs of food guarding, who blames him, and is arthritic so will need slower, shorter walks.

Zynra is a super cuddly girl who loves her walks and also likes her food, so much so she tries to steal it off Storm.

If you can offer a loving home to this amazing duo please get in touch www.saintssleddogrescue.co.uk/adoption 💻

Update on Dottie’s Puppies

Nine weeks ago, our sweet Dottie welcomed five beautiful puppies into the world. Unfortunately, over the last two weeks, all the puppies have fallen ill, and we are still searching for answers as to why. Thankfully, tests for parvo and other major concerns have come back negative.

Despite our best efforts, Mr. and Mrs. Grey have had the toughest time and required emergency hospitalisation on separate occasions. The vets warned us that they might not make it through the night, but they’re fighters! They both needed blood transfusions, and our brave Mylo Pup stepped in to save the day.

All five puppies; Turbo, Princess, Ricardo, Mr. Grey, and Mrs. Grey have been on fluids at the vets for the past seven days. They are all very low in iron and are now receiving iron supplements, charcoal, and appetite stimulants.

Mr. Grey is still struggling the most. He hit rock bottom again on Friday, and we had to intervene with a feeding tube. I’m now syringe feeding him through a tube in his neck, hoping this will give him the strength he needs to survive.

Dottie, their amazing mom, has been so strong throughout this ordeal. She’s been incredibly nurturing and even continued to feed them, which we have now stopped to give them the best chance of recovery.

We’re still waiting on further test results and hoping to pinpoint the cause of their illness and find a solution.

Our vets have been nothing short of amazing, bringing in extra staff and even helping out on their days off. The entire team has fallen in love with these little fighters, and we are so grateful for their dedication.

However, the costs have been significant, with bills already reaching £4,300 and climbing. If you could find it in your heart to donate, even £1, it would make a world of difference to us and the pups.

Donations can be made via PayPal using the ‘Friends and Family’ option with the reference “puppies” to:

What an AMAZING day our kennel dogs had yesterday in Scotland!

A huge thank you to our incredible dog walking volunteers. Thanks to you, Odin, Bruce, Oso, Marley, and Eldur had a fantastic time at the off-lead field to blow off some steam, and then enjoyed a trip to the beach together.

Our kennel dogs aren't the easiest to handle, but these dedicated volunteers have bonded with them over time, earning their trust and giving them the great outing they deserve.

ALL of these wonderful dogs are looking for experienced homes without children or other dogs. If you have Malamute experience and are interested in offering a forever home, please get in touch: www.saintssleddogrescue.co.uk/adoption 💻

Foster boy Wilson asked if it's the weekend yet? 😴

Wilson the Malamute is 10-years-old and has been looking for a forever home for a while now. He is SUPER easy to live with as he likes his own company. He loves to be outside no matter what the weather, especially when he can keep himself cool.

He gets on with other dogs and visitors great but would be better as an only dog perminantly.

Wilson travels well and on walks well on a lead. He would love to live somewhere quiet where he can potter around as he can be nervous in loud environments.

If you can offer Wilson a forever home, get in touch ☝️

Meet Bailey, a sweet female Husky cross, approximately 18 months old now looking for her forever home 🏡.

Bailey has had a rough start, being passed around a bit, but she's made great progress in her foster home. She now walks to heel and sleeps in her crate overnight.

Bailey loves to play but can be boisterous, so she would do best with a dog of similar size and energy. She can be a little unsure of new dogs at first, but she warms up with time. Bailey enjoys snuggling with her humans and has been good with older children, though she can be mouthy when playing. She's also sometimes unsure of strangers and may bark.

Bailey would thrive in a home with a playful companion her own size. If you can offer Bailey a loving forever home please get in touch www.saintssleddogrescue.co.uk/adoption 💻

Meet Alfie and Audrey, the Lurcher x Greyhound pair who are just 11 months old and STILL looking for their forever home.

Alfie is calm and loves a good scratch, while Audrey is full of energy and loves to play. They are inseparable and complement each other perfectly.

Alfie and Audrey are house trained with a consistent routine, though occasional small accidents may occur. Both are crate trained and settle well together when left alone. Audrey prefers to stay close to Alfie. They have no history of resource guarding or biting but may nip and mouth when overly excited. Both are sensitive to shouting and loud noises.

Alfie is a food lover who can be quite sneaky about stealing treats. Audrey is the initiator of play and can be a bit bossy, even with Alfie. She is cautious with new people but quickly warms up and becomes playful.

They would thrive in a home with a regular routine. They're perfect for beginner dog owners, needing just a couple of short walks a day or a good run in an enclosed field. They love human affection and cuddles and do well with similar-sized dogs and dog-savvy children.

If you can provide Alfie and Audrey with a loving forever home, please get in touch! 👇

Can you offer a forever home to Niko, our handsome 3-year-old Northern Inuit? 🐾

Niko is a super sweet, sensitive boy who LOVES human company. He does have separation anxiety, so he needs someone experienced with this and who is home most of the time.

He’s a typical Northern Inuit—stubborn and resource guarding high-value items. Niko has a tendency to steal and swallow small items like socks, and he has bitten when trying to retrieve these items.

Niko can be nervous around new people, especially men, and takes time to warm up. He needs a breed-experienced home without children.

**We will be dog testing Niko this week**

If you’d like to offer Niko a forever home, please get in touch at www.saintssleddogrescue.co.uk/adoption 💻

Meet Meeko a loving 3-Year-Old Siberian Husky now looking for his forever home 🐾

Meeko loves long walks and knows sled dog commands making a great dog to keep you company when running. He’s VERY strong-willed and may protest if he doesn’t want to move so you have to guide him with a lead instead of pulling his collar.

Due to his shy personality he would do better in a home with older children/teens. He is great with other dogs, doesn't like flat faced breeds.

Meeko is crate trained but has some separation anxiety but this does settle eventually. He loves to play and would benefit from a companion dog. Needs secure boundaries as he can jump high up fencing.

Once he trusts you, he’s an amazing snuggler but needs time and space initially. If you would like to offer Meeko a forever home please fill in an application www.saintssleddogrescue.co.uk/adoption 💻

Goooooooood morning for foster girls Betty and Bella! Betty and Bella adore the simple joys of life, from snuggling up in their home comforts to embarking on exciting walking adventures. They thrive on the love and attention from their humans, and their tails wag non-stop when they're showered with affection. It's important to note that Betty has had a battle with cancer, and while she's a fighter, the vets have advised that her time may be limited to around 2 more years. But in those two years, we are determined to ensure that Betty experiences nothing but the BEST life has to offer. These two girls share an unbreakable bond. They get along amazingly with other dogs and are fantastic with children. However, they've made it clear that cats aren't their cup of tea. Betty and Bella are well-behaved and house-trained, so you can trust them to be left alone without any worries about destruction. If you have room in your heart and home for this delightful duo, please reach out to us. Let's make sure Betty and Bella's remaining years are filled with love, happiness, and unforgettable moments. Share this post, spread the word, and let's find them the loving forever family they deserve! 💜🐺 🐶🏠 www.saintssleddogrescue.co.uk/adoption #AdoptDontShop #BettyAndBella #SledDogs #rescuedismyfavoritebreed #ForeverHomeNeeded

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.
