This is the third year (2002) that Tails of the Tundra Siberian Husky Rescue (TOTTSHR) has been in operation. To date we have had the opportunity to help over 180 dogs find their way into loving homes. We can't thank everyone who has helped in our rescue rescue efforts enough. The only way we could even begin to thank is to show you the results of your efforts with success stories like these.

The year certainly started off on the right paw, when Simba (one of our special needs dogs) went to his new home on January 5th, 2002. Simba's story began long before rescue took him into care. His previous owner's turned him in to the shelter when he was only two years old. The reason they gave was that they were moving and their new home said "no dog's allowed." Rescue learned that there may have been much more to his past. Shortly after arriving in rescue he was tested positive for heartworm. In addition, his leg which he so tenderly used was once hit by a car. The rescue utilized the Toby Fund to help sweet Simba out of his despair.

Meanwhile, a loving family for Simba was just around the corner. While he was busy getting back on all four paws, Lori and Tim were checking him out on the website and falling in love with him. And so it was that our first adoption of the year was a sweet success for everyone. Simba is featured on our Toby's Friends Success Pages. Be sure to stop by and check out the movie his family sent of him using his leg! On those pages you can read more about Simba and other dog's who needed special medical care, the vet's who helped them and the families who now love them.

Keep checking in, as we are always receiving updates on our husky friends. It's always a pleasure to see how well they are doing in their new homes. Smiling husky faces, their new antics, and much more. To date we have received some antics caught on film including, Reagan's (formerly Buster) new table bed, Jetson's new clothes, Galileo (now Frodo) getting a bath and we can't forget sweet China's family portrait!

Remember that if you'd like to help move one of our dogs from available for adoption to success stories, simply go to our available for adoption pages and start searching for that special dog.
