This is wanting way too much for a dog who fills out an application for a dog and phone interview but the most silly part of it all is a home visit that’s utterly ridiculous i can go to my local pickup and pay whatever price and be done

UPDATE: The response from Husky House proves my point. I'm very clear on their terms—I simply believe their terms, policies, and conditions serves their ego far more than it helps the dogs get homes. Thus, I recommend using other rescues and shelters that are more supportive, and less interested in being almighty gate keepers (that deny you without explaining... so, it is quite likely they could deny you for any reason even not liking your name, we have no idea because they do not value transparency). The fact they we condescending in suggesting I didn't understand their policies is incorrect. Their desire to give us permission to not proceed is also condescending. Seriously, find another rescue.The application is ridiculous, and they don't even let you see the application until you agree to their terms. They definitely seem to want to be gate keepers of who's in and who's out. If they reject your application, they refuse to tell you why so that you can't even address a concern. Just look at these reviews, on one, they were so rude as to even write "the dogs didn't even like you". There are a lot of adoption agencies, go with any of the others.

My family and I filled out an application to adopt a dog from this shelter. We went to the place to check out the condition they keep the dogs and the girl who answered was rude and said we needed an appointment. Which I get the appointment part so I waited, with no response.As a family we felt everyone wants to puppy and we wanted to give some of the elders a chance and fell in love with a dog from this shelter that we could have provided an amazing home to.This place rejected our application without and reasoning of why. I called and emailed and no response. Now reading the rest of reviews I am sad that a place like this stays open when there are loving homes trying to add to their family and they don’t even answer back but can post on Facebook they are “over crowed”. Shame on them for keeping these pups from a finding a good home.They also did not call any of our references before denying us.My daughter had her heart set on saving an older pup from this one and extremely heart broken.I feel bad for the dogs at this shelter. Thankfully there are kinder people and shelters willing to put in the work to find these dogs good homes and that actually put in the work to get to know the people who adopt. Another local shelter close by reached to follow up and actually talk to us about what we were looking for faster and with more heart, super friendly and also called our references.I would not recommend this place and I pray for the dogs that stay there.

The person that answered the phone was very ignorant. I was looking for placement for a husky puppy. She stated to me that no one would take her due to her having puppies recently. Her only job is literally finding good homes for huskies, instead she judged me & my story and didn’t even try to help because she wanted the puppies. It’s sad to see that as a people, we are still in this kind of mindset but I prayed for her & I hope she heals from whatever hurt makes her pick & choose whom she wants to help. If you don’t plan on doing what she says she probably won’t help you. Also she stated she’s been doing this for 25 years so she’s know for a fact that no one would take my puppy lol the ignorance she had was very laughable. She needs to find a new job or a new heart.Thank you for your reply because it let's people see your true colors. You don't know me from a hole in the wall. Truth is I rescued her from a neglected situation and the next day she had puppies on me, literally. I had no idea she was pregnant. Like i said before your negative mindset is what's wrong with this world. Before you judge someone or something you know nothing about, take a look in the mirror miss perfect. It's easy to find a puppy a home, its hard to find a already trained dog a home. People prefer to raise them up instead of getting them raised, & that took common sense, & if you were full and it was nothing you can do, you could of gave me the referrals and minded the business that pays you. All you want to do is sell them, thats why you spent the whole phone conversation trying to convince me that my family was horrible ppl and you can do a better job at finding them a home. That's literally what you would do.... pray God shows you yourself.

Sad to say that all of the people writing negative reviews are correct with this place. Seems to be a place that posts pics on numerous platforms to adopt. Pulling at your heart-strings to get money in various different ways, which are: Donations, Applications Fees, Birthday Fund raisers, GoFundme pages, ETC, with never any intent to approve you by their so call "Board of Directors". They will then add on the $$$$ adoption fees & the "must use their overpriced vet routine". IMO, this is nothing more than using the animals to generate cash flow and the animals are the hostages. Kinda reminds me of the Shawshank movie where the warden has no intention of letting the prisoners go unless they become old & unable to make them money. I fully understand a full background check for potential adopters, I have been an overly responsible dog owner for 25+ years. Places like this are why people go to puppy mills & pet stores, so stay away and go to a reputable breeder and spare yourself the aggravation of dealing with this BS. I would leave zero stars if I could and I truly feel bad for the animals.

Adopted Teddy during the Pandemic and Husky House was amazing. Multiple visits to make sure he was good with my other pups and they gave all the support needed during and after adoption. Everyobe who works there loves the dogs so much and Teddy was so taken care of before his adoption. I would and likely will adopt from them again. The Owner loves these dogs like they're her own and she may at times seem harsh but she's just protecting those beautiful animals that can't protect themselves, A++++

Great detail of goes into who's adopting and does background check. From applying to adopting only took us a week as they responded fast and they really so care about the dogs they care for.

Husky House is amazing! You see the love they all have for these animals and all the negative reviews are people getting denied for applications— which only means they are making sure the dogs are going to the best and safest homes possible! That is amazing! They take great care of all of their animals and you can tell how much they love them! Thank you for all you do!

I have to say I have had a good experience with Lorraine and Husky house. Lorraine is very compassionate about her dogs. She will follow up with your references and do a house check and if anything is wrong for the dogs environment make suggestions on fixing it. She will answer the phone almost any time of day when you call about a concern about a dog you adopted from her. Overall good experience and I highly recommend them

Husky House is an incredible rescue. They genuinely know and care for the animals in their care and will go through the proper process to ensure they find their forever home.
