What Does It Mean to Surrender a Husky?

If you've decided you can no longer keep your pet, you may be wondering, "what does it mean to surrender a Husky?' As the word implies, it means that you give up all rights to your dog once you sign him over to a shelter. While shelters do their best to find homes for all the dogs in their care, this isn't always possible, and it's important to consider all the possible outcomes before signing him over.

Is There a Way to Know for Sure My Husky Will be Find a Home? 

Unfortunately, there is no guarantee that your Husky will find a new home once he's at the shelter. That being said, shelters have different save rates, so doing a little research before surrendering your dog can give you some peace of mind.

If you find that the save rate is low, research another shelter, look for a reputable private rescue that may be able to help, or consider rehoming him yourself. Rehoming yourself gives you the ability to place him in home where you think he'll be happy.
