firstly, the kindest thing to do would be to get the female desexed before you rehome her. otherwise you run the risk of someone using her as a breeding machine.
i agree that contacting a specific husky rescue organisation is the best thing to do because they know the most about the breed and can match them well with their future family.
don't put your dogs on gumtree, there have been lots of recent incidents of people advertising their dogs on gumtree (particularly free to good home ones) where they are snapped up by illegal dog fighting rings who use the dogs as bait dogs. very horrific.
another person you could contact would be trish at pets haven in woodend (if you are anywhere near that side of melbourne)
Oh thanks girls ! It's really playing on my mind and I don't want to give them to anyone who would ever mistreat them....I can't believe people could do that to innocent animals.....the thought makes me so mad and sad at the same time !
The reason we didn't get the girl de-sexed was because she got a grass seed stuck in her paw and it gave her such grief we did't want her to be in pain from having been desexed as well. We kind of just never followed it up.....aaah life gets in the way sometimes
Thanks again, I'll look up Husky rescue organization in my area x
The first point of call is the breeder, if they were a registered breeder as opposed to a puppy farmer.
Otherwise, Pet Rescue Australia lists dogs from different rescue centres. You can get a list off them. You will need to keep looking after the dogs until a suitable home can be found. You also need to help prepare them for adoption.
Some basic training will stop them jumping and make them more sociable and adoptable.
Thanks heaps Lionsandbears , They were from a registered breeder but I didn't think they would be a point of contact for this kind of thing. Thanks for the link too x
The breeder we got our dog from will take any dog she has bred back for rehousing no matter their age, training, de-sexing etc. Its something I think most responsible breeders will do so I think that should be your first point of call. At their ages they're getting on, but not enough that they wouldn't still make great pets for someone. Otherwise, investigate the animal shelters that have a policy of looking after the dogs for as long as it takes to rehome them. If all of that fails, then IMO you would be doing the dogs a kindness by taking them to the vet and having them put down humanely.
I second everyone else's comments about NOT using gumtree or similar. Truly horrible stuff happens to furbabies.
