ADOPTION UPDATE: RENO THE SIBERIAN HUSKY - AND HIS VERY SPECIAL RESCUE SUCCESS STORY. There are times you just have to step up and help out, do what you can do to help, and provide kindness and a safe place to call home. That is exactly what Paws 4 Humanity Inc did back on 09/21/10 when Diana Dolce and Carol Kerr at the Nassau County shelter reached out to Paws 4 Humanity Inc regarding 3 Huskies who needed rescue out of the Nassau County shelter, of which Reno was one of them.
All 3 huskies, Reno, Ava and Annie were confiscated from a local breeder, who landed himself in jail over an offense unrelated to the animals. The court system awarded the care of the 3 huskies to the Nassau County shelter until they could find them a home. After reaching out to Paws 4 Humanity Inc we did just that and all 3 huskies were placed in wonderful fur-ever homes.
Reno who is now 17 years and 7 months young, is starting to slow down, and lose his sight and hearing, but he is still the playful, fun loving, husky talking, handsome boy that we rescued back in 2010. And Reno truly exemplifies a phenomenal rescue success story as he not only helped to bring home his BFF Ava when she got spooked and took off with her leash being towed behind her as she was being walked by her family on a rainy night back on Nov 2, 2010. Ten days later Paws 4 Humanity Inc used Reno to lure Ava out of the thick woods to bring her home to her family. Ava crossed over the Rainbow Bridge last year in Oct 2019 at 16 years old.
Reno's family, Tonya and Rod Felder who adopted Reno back on 06/24/13 are no strangers to the rescue world. Tonya and Rod have rescued two other huskies and one adorable Orepei (Sharpei Pug mix) named Molly. They have provided phenomenal homes for all of their rescue dogs, and have given Reno such a remarkable life. Truly what our adoptions are all about, long term fur-ever families and a life long committment to our rescue dogs.
So Reno, we send you hugs, kisses, and some of that husky chatter as we continue to celebrate your life, and your rescue success story! Stay safe, stay happy and stay healthy with your family and just know that you are truly loved and in our eyes a rescue miracle. And to Tonya and Rod, thank you for taking such great care of our gentle giant named Reno!!!
