What is a Rescue Dog?
Every year hundreds of Samoyeds throughout the country become homeless, most through no fault of their own. These are rescue dogs. They are not second class dogs, they are dogs that need a second chance.
How do these dogs become homeless? Sometimes they come from broken homes. Sometimes their people move away or an owner dies or a new baby arrives. Occasionally, they have been abused. Usually they are adults, sometimes they are old, once in a while they are young puppies.
Rescue dogs are often housebroken and usually have some training. Rescuing a Samoyed gives a young dog a new life. It gives an older dog the chance to live out his last years in comfort. He will give you unquestioning devotion and a friend for life.
Who We Are
Samoyed Rescue of Oregon is a small group of individuals who assist in the placement and fostering of unwanted, neglected and abandoned Samoyeds.
We network with and receive assistance from other Samoyed rescue groups around the country. We also receive assistance from nonmember volunteers and our local breed club.
We work closely with many shelters and animal control agencies.
What We Do
Our primary function is to make sure that Samoyed dogs are not being put to sleep for want of someone finding them a new home. We have limited space available to foster dogs so our first concern is for dogs that are in shelters and in danger of being put to death.
As well as taking in dogs from shelters and animal controls, we also take owner surrenders under certain circumstances.
Our final goal is to find loving, caring, permanent homes for these dogs, what we call their “forever home”. Because of this, we do screen applicants for these dogs and ask a lot of questions. Most Sams will bond very quickly with their new owners but some will take longer. We feel it is in everybody’s best interest for the new family and the dog to have lifestyles and personalities that work well together. This will help them to bond as quickly as possible.
Owner Surrender
You are the owner of a Samoyed and for some reason, circumstances have become such that you are no longer able to provide a home for your dog. You have explored all other options and the only option left to you is to:
find the dog a new home.
take the dog to a shelter
have the dog put to sleep.
Please, contact Samoyed Rescue and we will help you find your dog a new home. Click Here if you need to surrender your dog.
