About this user

Name: Northern California Sled Dog Rescue (NorSled)

Tax status: We are a 501(c)(3) non profit: donations to NorSled are tax deductible.

Mission: Rescuing, fostering and finding homes for unwanted, abandoned and abused Northern breed dogs: Siberian Huskies, Alaskan Malamutes, Samoyeds, and mixes of these breeds.

Results: Since our inception, we have helped find homes for almost 1,000 dogs. 251 dogs were adopted out by NorSled in 2008 alone.
In 1998, a small group of husky lovers, who were members of Siberian Husky Rescue and Referral, formed NorSled. The group wanted to rescue expand rescue to include Nordic mixes. We did not replace the other rescue groups but were looking at helping the mixes, dogs in geographic regions where there were not rescue groups, and working with the other groups. Today NorSled coordinates efforts with more than 10 other rescue groups including: MUSH, SHRR, BASH, Wing and a Prayer, ARF, Samoyed Rescue, and German Shepherd Rescue.
NorSled hosts adoption fairs in at least 3 counties and attend events in even more. We have participated with ARF, Oakland SPCA, SCARF and others in adoption events and awareness. NorSled conducts programs at local schools educating students about dogs, sled dogs in particular and the Iditarod.

Our members help with adoption fairs, go to shelters, work on the website, do fundraising, walk dogs that are kenneled, write and create materials to educate the public, answer phone calls and emails, educate potential adopters, and do many other services that make it possible for us to find homes for these wonderful dogs. Our members are the lifeblood of NorSled, and are the reason we can find homes for the dogs.

And some of our members foster. At any given time, we have approximately 18-25 dogs in foster homes. Foster dogs have included puppies born to fat females shelters asked us to pull, orphaned 3 week old pups, dogs with medical conditions, dogs needing surgery our foster parents have worked with all. Our foster families are incredible, and do wonders with helping treat, rehabilitate and understand the dogs so we can them find them their forever homes. Fostering is the lifeblood of dog rescue.

Membership opportunities: We are always looking for new members to help with adoption fairs, monitoring the shelters, fostering and/or fundraising. Please contact us at 800-471-5822 or send an email to rescue@norsled.org about your interest in helping out with NorSled.

Three Common Questions About NorSled
What care has a NorSled Dog Received?
NorSled dogs are:

Spayed or Neutered
Current on Rabies and DHLPP vaccines
Microchipped
Fitted with a limited slip mushing collar
Tagged with an ID that is maintained in a database
Seen by a veterinarian if medical care is needed
Why would a NorSled Dog Need Medical Care?
NorSled will pull dogs from shelters with treatable medical conditions. We nurse them and get them the veterinary care they need while finding them homes. In recent times we have treated dogs for conditions ranging from torn knee ligaments, heartworm and hookworm, to broken bones and gun shot wounds.

Where do NorSled Dogs Come From?
Most come from shelters. Realize, many of the local shelters are "kill" shelters; they euthanize the dogs that are not adopted or recovered quickly. We try to work with the shelters as much as possible, even putting dogs up on our site while still in the shelter.
