Husky Adoptions
The "Raise the Ruff" project at West Valley Humane Society (WVHS) aims to improve dog shelter conditions by controlling temperature and reducing noise. WVHS, partnering with Idaho Humane Society and McPaws Animal Shelter, has successfully rehomed many dogs, but 25 huskies still await adoption. Huskies, though appealing, need ample exercise and training. WVHS is actively seeking temporary caregivers and encouraging families to adopt these special huskies during the 9-month project. Interested individuals can meet these dogs at the shelter and potentially provide them with loving forever homes. Your support can make a significant difference in these unique dogs' lives.
