Hey Chuck, I rescued a brother (Chevy) for my Tahoe a while back. I just wanted to let you know how well they were doing. They just love each other. Great buddies, they play and exercise and sleep next to each other. Here are some pictures for ya.

Jon and Chuck,

Just wanted to write and let you know how Cassie (the kids renamed her, she now goes by the name Sky) is doing. She has settled in nicely and has become a wonderful addition to our family! She is very sweet, and happily greets everyone who comes to the house with a big smile. She is a huge help in the kitchen, keeping an eye on things at all times, ready to clean up anything that happens to drop on the floor. She and our shepherd get along great, they love to wrestle with each other and chase each other around the yard. Sky hasn't gotten into too much trouble, but does enjoy doing a bit of excavating in the yard, keeping the soil nicely aerated.

Attached is a picture of Sky taking it easy on a rainy day.

Thank you,
Debbie
 
Hi Chuck,

These are just some pictures of Cavalier with the family. He is the best dog ever and he is really great with the kids. The kids just loved him. Everyday we take him out to walk. We have actually set a schedule for him in the morning around 8 my brother takes him out for about an hour around the area where we live and I take him in the afternoon at 7 after I get home from work to the park for about an hour, sometimes longer since the kids dont want to leave the games there. But I really want to thank you for letting us rescue him, he is the best. I am actually interested in getting him a companion a female I am not positive yet but I am talking to my parents about that and they are very happy with Cavi thats his nick name and they say that if we do get another dog that we should wait until December that way we can find one that Cavi likes and that we like. I have seen that you have Luna on your site and i think she is beautiful but she doesnt like small children but mean while I will continue to look on your site and see if there is any other females that will interest us and that hopefully Cavi likes. Also I want to say that I read Busters story and I am glad that he was rescued by you because I can see the time and dedication that you put into what you do and I honestly wish that there would be more people like you doing this for different type of dogs because it must be a ridiculous amount of dogs and cats being put to sleep on a daily basis. I want to actually go visit you guys so you can see Cavi and see if there is another dog that he might like there. He is great with other dogs our friends have a Lab and a smaller dog thats a mutt and we dont know what kind of dog he is but they get along great.
Well Chuck hopefully we get to see you guys again and find a companion for Cavalier, until next time take care.

Sincerely,

Hilda
 
Hello Chuck – just wanted to give you an update on ‘Taylor’. She is doing quite well with the cats – a bit excitable when they run and play, but she is doing very well with the “leave it” command. She and Jack are doing wonderful – they both are so happy to have a husky pal!

I just wanted to thank you for all that you do. I also wanted to say thanks for answering my questions and getting back to me via phone. You have no idea how important that was to me. I have worked with a few other rescues, and for a time they left me wondering…they did not return calls or emails. Those bad experiences left me thinking I did not want to get involved with another rescue… But, you answered my call and were available to talk to – I just want you to know that that made all the difference to me, and I am sure others as well that have come in contact with huskycamp.

I wish you and Jon a very blessed Christmas. My hat is off to you! I truly thank you for the work you do and I am very happy that I rescued from the best rescue group ever! I cannot say enough about how you are really involved in the dogs and are ready and willing to actually converse with people wanting to rescue. Keep up the great work.

I wish you and all of the folks that volunteer, a very Merry Christmas and best wishes for 2008.

I really think you are angels on earth!

Thanks from the bottom of my heart – for a truly wonderful experience in dealing with your rescue – and most importantly – for such a find that I have in Taylor.

Best wishes,
Kathleen/Jack/Taylor and cats!

 
 

I don't know if you remember me, but my name is Viking and my new mommy adopted me from Husky Camp 1 year ago. I just wanted to let you guys know that I am doing great in my new home! I miss you, and the other dogs at Husky Camp, but I really like it here. I have a big backyard, and my mom bought me my own Igloo to sleep in. I have a younger sister, Angie... that's her with me in the pictures. She is kind of annoying (she wants to play with me ALL the time), but I still love her. We do so many fun things here! My mommy takes us on walks almost everyday, and to the dog park... it took a while to get used to the park, but now I love to run and chase the other dogs. She also takes us to the groomer a lot for baths... I don't really like it, but she always buys us these really yummy bones after we go. My mommy says that I was so skinny when she got me that she could see my ribs, but I've gained about 10 pounds since I moved here (and, if I do say so myself, I look great). No one knows for sure how old I am (they told us between 3 and 4) or when my birthday is, so my mommy made one up for me. My mommy and I have taught each other some stuff... I taught her not to leave any trash cans in the house on the floor because I like to sneak food scraps from there, and she taught me about having my belly rubbed (I guess most dogs already know about this, but it was new to me). It is my favorite thing now, and I ask her to do it ALL the time. Anyway, I just wanted to let you guys know how much I appreciate you taking care of me until my new mommy could find me. : )

 
Just thought I'd let you know Bravo is doing great!  I've had huskies all my life, so I trusted I would love him, but he has a special quality and seems to always be thankful for having a home. In other words, he know he was rescued! I can never thank you enough for Bravo and for what you do. These dogs are angels, and so are you!

Lots of Love,
Laural


 

 
I met my new best friend, Gregg, around the first week of July in 2005. We bonded instantly. Gregg had a few trips planned during the remainder of the summer, so I was back and forth between my new house and Husky Camp. At the end of the summer, I took Gregg to Obedience School. We passed with flying colors! We were just one of seven that passed with around 40 starting the class. One of the things that we needed to do in class was “practical applications”. That’s when I learned how to play golf! Gregg and I play a couple of times a week together.

It’s now been about a year and a half that we’ve been together, and I know it will last the rest of my life. I am so fortunate! I have been able to go lots of places, from baseball games to shopping (I love Petsmart) to dining outdoors. I have my own credit card for my personal expenses. I also got my own driver’s license, but prefer to be chauffeured around. During the winter, I enjoy the snow when I stay home, but I do get to go to Palm Springs too. I have 3 cousins down there, all poodles, and we all love to hang out together.

My typical day starts off with a walk in the morning. After my walk, it’s time for breakfast before I go to work. After a full day at the office, I can’t wait to get home and have dinner. I am so fortunate to be able to spend lots of quality time with Gregg and lots of other two-legged people.

I haven’t been back to Husky Camp recently, but I do keep in touch. I especially want to thank Chuck and John for rescuing me and finding me the best home in the world!

Lobo, aka “Steel”
