The mission of the Hairy Houdini Siberian Husky Rescue is to help Siberian Huskies and Husky mixes in need, and educate about the proper care of the breed. Learn more and get involved.

We are a foster home based rescue organization serving Michigan. Once the dogs are in our care, we update their veterinary care including spay/neuter, they are microchipped, temperament tested, and monitored and cared for by a volunteer in our wonderful foster program. Once we have matched the personality of the dog with the perfect home, they get adopted! Application, reference check, home visit, contract and adoption donation apply.


Please see our adoption information section under the main menu for more details on adoption. To read about our adoption process and fill out an adoption application click here.


If you are seeking placement for a dog currently under your care please complete the request to surrender form. Submitting this form does not guarantee that we will be able to accept your dog. We are severely limited by the number of fosters we have available at any given time.


If you are wanting to help by opening your home as a foster pet-parent please see our foster information section for more information and to apply to foster a husky click here.

It's officially summer, and the heat is here, so here are some tips for those hot days.

Your dogs should be indoors while it's hot, but if they will be outside for a few hours, make sure they have a cool place to lie. To keep them cool, water down the porch and wet an area in the shaded portion of the yard. Wet an old towel or sheet, wring it out, and pop it in your freezer. When it's chilled (you don't have to wait for it to freeze), spread it out as an optional place for your dog to lie. A raised bed on the porch allows air to flow beneath it to keep them cool. (They're also great for dogs with arthritis to keep the weight off their joints.) You could also put a cooling mat out for them to lay on. Also, be sure to keep your dog brushed; mats hold extra body heat,

On these hot days, get up extra early to take your dog for a walk. If you are planning a walk during the heat of the day, check out cooling vests. Soak an evaporative cooling vest in water before placing it on your dog. You can also purchase cooling bandanas. Another cheap alternative is to tuck a few ice cubes in a bandana, fold it up, and then tie it around your dog's neck, where they slowly melt. You'll also find commercial bandanas specially made for your dog; like the homemade cooling bandanas, you soak the bandana and wring out the extra moisture. Carry water on your walks, and make sure your dog always has a big supply of fresh, cool water at home, too. If you're concerned that your dog isn't drinking enough, make that water more tempting by adding ice cubes, bits of chicken breast, or a frozen treat.

Have you ever gone barefoot on hot pavement? It's painful and can cause blisters on your feet…and the same can happen to your dog's paw pads. So be extra careful on the sidewalks.

Never leave your dog in the car.
Never. Ever. Think you'll leave the AC running while you run in for that quick errand? If your engine fails, your dog will die. Please leave your dog at home.

Inexpensive children's pools make great dog swimming pools! Your dog will love it! Summer is a great time for fun with your dog, but heatstroke is a real risk to you both. Plan your day, take it slowly, and make sure the memories you create this season are good ones!
