Give this girl the happy ending she deserves "Flip" ADOPTED
Flip is a cattle dog mix (she looks like a mini cattle dog). We are unsure of her date of birth but she is approx 14-15 years old. Her previous owner became very ill and passed away. Flip is now looking for a quite home that needs a companion for what ever time she has left. She is in good health for her age. Medication wise she just takes 2 pills a day for allergies (approx $5 per month). She is great in the house, loves to go for walks.She is goos with other dogs and kids - however she would prefer a home without perminante kids - she likes a calm environment. She loves to take naps on the couch or sunbath on the deck. Flip does have a wild streak - she will get excited and start jumping then run around - its to funny! Wont you open your home and heart to this sweet girl?

Who We Are
We are a non-profit rescue that takes in Siberian Huskies (and sometimes other breeds in desparate need) in need of a home and find them a new forever loving home.We are also here to assist anyone who has questions reguarding Siberian Huskies, so hopefully owners/ possible owners are more informed about the breed and less Huskies will end up in rescue. At Epic Blue Acres we feel every dog deserves a chance at happiness.NO DOG IS EVER EUTHANIZED DUE TO SPACE.We take in Huskies of any age.If a dog needs medical care or rehabilitation, that is usualy taken care of before they become adoptable.All of our available dogs-if age allows- have been altered, Heartworm, Lyme and Erlicia tested, vaccinated for DHLPP (Distemper,Hepititis,Leptospirosis, Parvo and Parainfluenza),Bordetella(Kennel Cough); implanted with a Home Again Microchip and on monthly flea and heartworm prevention.
We have no limitations on what area of the country a dog can be placed.Just make sure you are will to drive the distance to pick up your new friend if approved.We DO NOT SHIP dogs and must meet every family in person.

Is a Husky the dog for you?

We encourage anyone thinking of adding a Siberian Husky to their family to please make sure the breed will fit their lifestyle. The breed is quite independent and can be remarkably self-sufficient. Siberian Huskies, like most breeds of dogs, have a prey drive. Siberians will chase birds and small, furry animals, sometimes catching and harming them in the process. The breed is also not reliable off-leash, and no amount of training can make them so. They were bred to run 30 feet in front of a sled, making semi-independent decisions. Remove the sled and they will be gone. This is a very attractive breed, needing lots of exercise, and is a breed that is very unhappy left alone. An unhappy Siberian can be quite a destructive dog, so proper training and housing is necessary. Right from the beginning, obedience lessons are a good idea, so that owner and dog understand the boundaries and each other. This is a breed that thrives on POSITIVE training methods, and often is unfazed by negative methods. Finding a good trainer can be almost as challenging as finding a good dog.
The sad truth is that many Siberians are impulse purchases, and people who think they can live with one find out quickly how challenging it can be. Many very nice Siberians end up in rescue because of this fact. And remember, adding a dog to the family is a 8-13 year commitment. Do the research first in order to ensure success for the dog and your family.
So if you don’t mind a lot of dog hair (twice a year) and would rather have a mischievous personality than the well trained Labrador Retriever type dog, a Husky may be for you.
If, after careful consideration, the decision to get a Husky is made, please fill out our adoption application.If you still have any questions feel free to contact us - questions before acquiring a dog make for a happier time after you get the dog.
