Half-Way Home Canine Rescue, Inc.

Half-Way Home Canine Rescue, Inc. To provide a temporary haven for huskies until a forever family is found. K-9 RESCUE - TEMPORARY Rehoming fees are $400.

HWHCR started as a transport for out-of-state rescues adopting canines from our local shelter. We began as an all-breed rescue and have now become a husky/malamute only rescue. We gradually became a full-time shelter, providing housing, transport to local veterinarians for medical care, and finally finding homes for the dogs in our care, and are, now, a North Carolina State licensed shelter as wel

l as a 501c3 organization. All our dogs are rescued from a shelter, are given the extra veterinary care that is needed to provide the new family with a healthy pet. Each dog receives any additional vaccines, is spayed/neutered, tested (and treated, if necessary) for heartworms and lyme disease, and received heartworm and flea/tick prevention. Each dog is kept at HWHCR and observed daily, so that as much detail about the dog can be given to the new owners. The new family is welcomed to spend as much time, as necessary, with their new pet, before taking it home. They are encouraged to bring their whole family, children and other dogs to the visit. HWHCR is open, by appointment, seven days a week, mornings, afternoons and early evenings. The adoption process is begun with a personal conversation/interview by phone,(required) followed by a visit to our facility. A medical record is included with the adoption package. We accept cash, credit/debit cards, but, sorry, no checks. Donations are also needed to help with heartworm treatments or other vet care.

I thought since I had not gotten a Skylar update at the expected time I should call the Vet clinic to ask about Skylar's surgery.

They told me that one of the two scheduled surgery's ahead of Skylar had run long due to a complication. That means that Skylar was still waiting for his surgery.

I asked how he was handling the wait and they said that they were extremely impressed at how chill he was in the clinic. He has been kenneled for nearly 5 hours but he was not freaking out about it.

I suggest to owners to desensitize their dogs to being crated and here is a real life situation that can easily happen for any dog. So instead of the clinic having to give extra meds to keep him from thrashing around in the crate and freaking out, Skylar was calm and chill.

Vet visits, sick dogs, and needing surgery tend to be very frightening and anxiety filled situations. By desensitizing Skylar to using a crate, we were able to remove that extra anxiety for Skylar today.

Crate training, even if they are not crated very often, can help in situations where your dog must be kenneled.

It seems so obvious doesn't it, "Some Dogs Need Space". Why does your dog need space?

Careful when walking your dogs 🐾 keep in mind, dogs sweat out their feet. They cant sweat, their body overheats and organs shut down!
