Who We Are
Wisconsin American Eskimo Rescue was started in March '99 in response to an urgent need to find homes for forty American Eskimo Dogs being removed from a small house by Animal Control officers. All dogs were successfully placed and we have been rescuing and placing Eskies ever since. To date we have placed over 150 dogs. The rescue is overseen by an accomplished dog trainer and behaviorist who owns and operates Blue Dog Training and Behavior in Madison, WI. All dogs brought into the rescue are thoroughly screened for health and temperament as well as reaction to adults, children, cats and dogs.
Adopting a friend
To adopt a dog from W.A.E.R., the following is required:
- The potential adopter and all household members (including resident dogs) arrange a visit with the dog they are interested in adopting and a W.A.E.R. representative. Adopters should live no more than 1 hour away from Madison, WI
- An application
- Three unrelated references
- A Vet reference (if the adopter already has a pet)
- A home visit by a W.A.E.R. representative
- An adoption fee of $250.00 for dogs under 6 months of age and $200.00 for dogs over 6 months of age.
- An adoption contract
- Contracts for some dogs require that obedience training (Positive Reinforcement only) be completed with the adopted dog within six months of the adoption.
