About Us
LOUISIANA SLED
DOG RESCUE

Louisiana Sled Dog Rescue is a non-profit, all volunteer
organization based in Baton Rouge, La.  We are affiliated with
APAWS, a local all-companion-animal, 501 (c) 3 organization,  
Malamute.  

We are a small group of volunteers who feel that the day can't start
without the high pitched chortle of a bright-eyed, mischievous
bundle of energy.   We absolutely love the breed.   We have many
37 years of experience in the ownership, training, conformation
and obedience exhibition,weight pulling and carting of Siberian
Huskies.   Most importantly, we have simply owned a Siberian or
two or more, and can't live without them.   We care very much
about the many homeless Sibes in Louisiana and save as many as
we have resources to save.

                                WHAT DO WE DO?

LSDR follows the four Rs: Rescue; Rehabilitate; Re-home; Reduce.  

We RESCUE Siberian Huskies from owner or good Samaritan
turn-ins, shelter releases, strays, and occasionally from puppy mill
closures.  We are especially disturbed by the number of Siberians
in high kill shelters.   Sadly, most of these babies never make out
of those kill shelters, yet, ALL of these Siberian Huskies deserve a
second chance and a good life.

We REHABILITATE by providing full veterinary services including
spaying/neutering, vaccinations, heart worm testing, prevention
and treating, and treat for parasites and any known illness or
health problem.  We socialize our dogs and provide some basic
training in manners.   

We RE HOME  by carefully screening applicants and matching each
potential adopter with the Malamute we think most suitable.   To do
this we must first temperament test each dog and develop a profile
on it.   We also require home and veterinary checks to insure the
quality of the potential adopter.  Because Louisiana is hot and
humid most of the year, we insist that our adoptees be house dogs.

We REDUCE the number of homeless Siberian Huskies through
education and spay/neutering all dogs before they are released.   
We teach people about the character and behavior of the Siberian
Husky, as well as the fun of living with hairy, exuberant,
mischievous dogs.


                                        HOW CAN YOU HELP?

foster homes.   We can also use volunteers in a number of other
