Mark your calendars!


It’s almost time for Husky Hoopla!

Saturday, May 10
11 am to 3 pm
Eagle Creek Bark Park

Husky Hoopla is a combined reunion and fundraiser (with the emphasis on fun). We will be renting one side of the Eagle Creek Bark Park for the day to let the huskies play like huskies - without scaring other dogs or their humans who aren’t familiar with the body slams and growling that go along with husky fun.

If you adopted a husky from IHH, come out and visit with your dog’s foster family.

If you are interested in adopting a husky from IHH come out and meet dogs available for adoption.

If you have a husky, come out and let them play in the husky way.

If you just like huskies, come out and spend the day in a park full of them.

  

Check out pictures from last year’s event here:

Admission to the park is $6 per dog and free for humans. Every dog must have proof of current vaccinations, including bordatella, to enter the park.

Be sure to visit the park’s website for rules and directions:

Foster Homes Needed

Are you interested in volunteering? Our greatest need is always for foster homes. Because we don't board dogs, but rather take them into our homes and get to know them, the number of dogs we take in is based on the number of available foster spots we have for them.

 

Just a few good reasons to consider fostering:

  • You would be saving a precious life.
  • You would also help to alleviate shelter overcrowding and save shelter staff from the agonizing decision of which dogs live and which dogs die.
  • Fostering gives new dog owners a chance to see what life with a dog is like before actually owning one. Think of it as a "try before you buy" opportunity.
  • Fostering gives your current dog a playmate.
  • Fostering, or volunteering with rescue, can teach your children about compassion. It also gives them volunteer hours and community service hours that many schools require from their students.
  • Volunteering with rescue will also look good on your resume. Many employers look for community service in potential employees.
  • Fostering also helps the rescued dog in many ways. Often dogs that are overlooked at the shelter for acting too "hyper" are just over stimulated in a shelter environment. Once they are in a stable environment with people that love them, their true personality comes out.

If you are interested in fostering a dog in need, please contact us and request our Frequently Asked Fostering Questions booklet.

If you would like to volunteer in another capacity, please let us know and we would be happy to send you a list of volunteer opportunities.
