SiberSpace: A SanctuaryFor Siberian Huskies
Our Featured Pet...
Our featured pet is Skyla, a beautiful mature female Siberian husky. She has become homeless as a result of a divorce and really needs a home. She is currently very bored and lonely in a boarding kennel. Skyla is used to living with small children and does well with cats and other dogs. She is in excellent health and current on all vaccinations.Please contact SiberSpace at hessiankid99@gmail.com for more information. We will have pictures of Skyla soon!

UPDATE: Due to health and other concerns, I am not participating in rescue at this time. At some point we will open again, after finding another, more suitable place to live, outside city limits.
Our final rescued dog, Ryker, was adopted on April 30th. Tundra and Thor were adopted as a pair a few days earlier. All the other rescue dogs except Balou were successfully placed. Unfortunately, we just didn't find a home for Balou, but he is safe at Night Song Siberian Husky Rescue in Dayton, Washington. We are still attempting to secure licenses for our own family dogs. This has been a difficult process, but we hope that the necessary licenses will be issued soon, so we will no longer have to worry about loosing any of our beloved family dogs.
SiberSpace rescue has permanently stopped accepting rescue dogs. Our location is just not suitable for housing the number of dogs that need to be rescued in Montana. We are grateful that we could make a difference in the lives of so many dogs in need. SiberSpace will continue to function as a referral service for people seeking to adopt rescued Siberians and for Siberians who need to be rescued, we just won't have any dogs on site from now on. We sincerely hope that someone else will be willing to take over the responsibility of providing a place in Montana for rescued Siberians to go. SiberSpace was the only Siberian husky-specific shelter in Montana. The need remains great.
Who We Are
SiberSpace is a private referral service dedicated to assisting in the placement Siberian huskies. The dogs we list are housed elsewhere, but can be transported to locations in Montana for adoption. We rely on financial donations from the public, volunteers and support from other shelters for the majority of our needs. The available rescued Siberian huskies receive the very best in veterinary care. Each dog is given any necessary vaccinations. A broad-spectrum anti-parasitic (de-worming) treatment is administered and the dog is also spayed or neutered, if necessary. Any other existing health issues are thoroughly treated.
Nessa, our first Siberian husky and alpha female, is the reason we became so interested in this breed and ultimately decided to start helping Siberians in need. She is a truly amazing dog, who changed our lives. Nessa is two years old and weighs about 40 pounds. Despite her small stature, she is the undisputed "boss" of all the other dogs.
Adopting a friend
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY IF YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH SIBERIAN HUSKIES!!!!!!
Siberians are popular as family pets and as show dogs, due to their striking appearance and gentle temperament. Siberians are very clean dogs and regularly groom themselves and each other. They don't give off the smelly "doggy odor" that many other breeds have. On the other hand, Siberians are notorious for frequent shedding of their thick coats. Most huskies are extremely affectionate, curious, and friendly to all people, which means they rarely hurt humans. They make terrible guard dogs, as they are more likely to lick an intruder's face and offer to help pack away the loot, than to bark and defend the house. Properly socialized Siberians are quite gentle with children, although NO dog, including a Siberian, should be left unsupervised with small children.
Siberian Huskies can be challenging to train and are easily bored with routine, due to their very high intelligence. Proper training requires lots of persistence, patience and creativity on behalf of the trainer AND the Siberian, but the rewards make the effort well worth it.
Siberian Huskies are born to run and pull, it is in their DNA! Younger dogs MUST have lots of daily exercise in a securely fenced area. A Siberian husky may not be the right choice for some first time dog owners. Their strong will and desire to run can be difficult to manage without the right knowledge and a large, securely fenced yard. Siberian Huskies have strong running instincts and therefore, as a general rule of thumb, should NEVER be left to run free off-lead, for their own safety.
Thousands of Siberians are abandoned or turned in to shelters every year. Please give one of these wonderful, noble and unique dogs a chance to be part of your life.
