| Why: |
Tails

and Siberian Husky Mixes that have been abused, neglected,
abandoned, or surrendered by their owners. Our goals are
to place these dogs in loving homes and to educate people
about the characteristics of this wonderful, yet often misunderstood,
breed. To accomplish these goals and our overall mission,
our network of volunteers throughout PA, MD, NJ, DE, WVA
and NY are involved in raising funds, transporting and fostering
dogs, developing and maintaining our web site, and representing
the group at events.
