This past week at Husky Halfway House was packed with heart, hustle, and some truly unforgettable huskies. We ran sweepstakes, hosted pajama parties, loaded up Rescue Rides, and said goodbye to dogs we’ve loved for over a year. We also faced urgent medical needs, hit emotional highs and lows, and watched our community show up—again and again. Here’s your weekly recap of the biggest moments, must-see pups, and ways to help us finish July strong. Let’s dive in.
Here’s everything you missed (or want to relive) from July 17th to 28th
But first!
We’ve got winners! 🎉🐾
🧊 Ninja Slushie: Jill Sterling
🧳 Melissa’s Mystery Tour: Theresa Smedley
🦟 Wondercide Pack: Dusty Hines
🔥 FUNDRAISING: Final Stretch for the $50K Match
The clock is ticking, and we’re racing to hit that $50,000 match by July 31 at midnight. Every donation, subscription, sweepstakes entry, and merch order counts DOUBLE right now.
Here’s what’s helping us get there:
Clarissa’s Corner Sweepstakes launched to raise funds for Clarissa’s urgent medical care. Just 60 days after her adoption, her family is facing thousands in specialist costs—and we promised her she’d always have our help. Donate or grab a sweepstakes ticket to support her care and score one of ten Husky merch prizes.
Clarissa’s Story brought many of us to tears this week. She made it out of California thanks to H3 and Jenni’s van. She made it home thanks to Patty and Doug. Now she needs help again—and we’re not going to let her down.

Rescue Ride Urgency: Jenni hit the road with dogs heading to forever homes, including Peppino, who’s beginning heartworm treatment. We’re balancing transport, medical emergencies, and daily care—and we need backup. Read the full update and see how to help.
🏡 ADOPTED: Timber’s Big Day
After 374 days, Timber got his bath, wagged his tail, and officially left the halfway mark. He is no longer halfway home. And that brings our count to 192 dogs in care—only 92 more adoptions until we can open our doors to new rescues. Watch his sendoff. https://www.facebook.com/huskyhalfwayhouse/videos/1447273363080728/
🐾 Magnus: The Husky Who Found Home Twice
https://www.facebook.com/reel/2821141598079588/
Magnus is living proof that a second chance can change everything. Years ago, we rescued this sweet, gentle husky as a stray. He was adopted, loved, and part of a real family—until life circumstances changed, and they needed our help. So Magnus came back to us.
Older. Quieter. Still holding hope.
At H3, he served as a calm, wise mentor for new huskies. But he deserved more than routine—he deserved belonging.
Enter the Ricci family.
Already parenting two huskies and two kids, they had just lost one of their pack, Charlie. Their remaining boy, Boh, was grieving. They needed a husky who could heal a heart—and Magnus was the one.
After a video call sealed the deal, Magnus went home.
Magnus is no longer halfway home.
🐾 AZ Hoarding Case Puppies: First Steps Toward Forever
We partnered with AZ Husky Rescue to spotlight the Shepsky puppies pulled from a devastating 37-dog hoarding case. These babies are sweet, social, and adoption-ready. Jenni met up with them live—and trust us, they’re heartbreakers.
Half of all proceeds from the LEGO My Nosky Sweepstakes went to help these pups get the futures they deserve.
🐾 ADOPTABLE HUSKIES: Halfway Highlights

❄️ Blizzard
Estimated at 1 year and 3 months old, Blizzard is shy, anxious, and deeply loyal once she bonds. She struggles with attachment anxiety and high prey drive, so she needs a calm home with no small animals—and a patient human who gets her. She’s your shadow in the making. Her story. https://www.facebook.com/huskyhalfwayhouse/posts/pfbid031gouA8DtGCkk6qnbikz847y8wuCJkc3Lcp6T6RSvZJdPWnWqdbia6KxZcPc73wQZl

🧡 Mac, Tiny, and the Little Things
These two reminded us why we do this: connection. Whether it’s a dog pile, a paw on your chest, or a husky finally settling into a nap—this is the goal.
Surprise Nose Boops and sleepy office mornings reminded us that even on slow days, we’re surrounded by joy and purpose. Watch here. https://www.facebook.com/huskyhalfwayhouse/videos/722718367190678/

And every rescue reminds us why we do this.
Till they all have homes. 🐺
