A June 2–5 Recap You Won’t Want to Miss
These last few days at Husky Halfway House were the perfect storm of joy, chaos, heartache, and hope. From new adoptions and surprise giveaways to urgent rescue missions and pajama parties, the week proved—once again—that rescue is anything but ordinary.
🐶 Spotlight: Garfunkel the Drama King
Garfunkel, a 3-year-old husky from OKC, is tall, opinionated, and fully convinced he should be your only boy. He prefers the ladies (human and canine), thrives in a low-energy home, and isn’t afraid to express himself when his royal needs aren’t met.
💬 “I’m tall, dramatic, and I have very specific standards. Let me rule your house and I’ll reward you with my royal presence.” 👑
😍 ADOPTED! Vanilla Finds Her Person
It didn’t take long for Vanilla to charm every human she met—and now, she’s no longer halfway home. This stunning, spirited girl found her perfect match and officially joined the growing list of happily adopted huskies.

☕ Espresso Brings the Sass and Speed
Espresso is over 3 years old and ready to be the center of your world. She’s full of energy, attitude, and undeniable charm. She’s not a fan of other alpha girls but will thrive under a confident human who sets the tone.
💬 “I’m fast, I’m fabulous, and I’ve got opinions. If you can keep up—I’ll love you forever.”

🏃♂️ Phoenix: The Houdini Husky We Can’t Catch (Yet)

💤 Bedtime Check-In with Jenni D
Jenni popped in for a bedtime update, sharing news about:
📦 Effie cards being delayed (but every order will include bonus cards!)
📚 Effie’s Story books starting to ship
🎨 Her new coloring book, now in print! Get one with a $50 donation
🆘 Nosky Rescue Emergency – $10 = 1 More Day of Life
Jenni shared a heartbreaking post about Amber, an independent rescuer working at the Enid shelter to save dogs from euthanasia—especially noskies (non-huskies) who get left behind.
Instead of asking for help for the husky she rescued that day, Jenni asked us to donate for the dogs Amber’s trying to save.
🙏 Every $10 buys a nosky one more day of life.
👉 Mark donations as “for Amber’s noskies” - https://www.huskyhalfwayhouse.org/ways-to-give
💔 “What about the noskies?”
Let’s help them, too.
🌌 Meet Leah – Our Calm, Celestial Queen
Leah, estimated to be around 4 years old, came from SEAACA and has been the gentle soul among the storm. She’s low-energy, loves porch naps and peace, and prefers to shine quietly like a surprise meteor shower.
💬 “I’m not the life of the party—I’m the quiet moment that makes you smile.”
💛 Zia’s 700-Day Journey (And Counting)
Zia has been with us over 700 days. She’s not quick to trust, but once she does—she’s loyal, sassy, and endlessly lovable. She thrives in big packs and bonds best with other dogs. If you have patience and grace, she just might let you into her world.
💬 “Give me space, time, and snacks—and I’ll give you trust.”

🎉 Puppy Pajama Party Live!
We closed the week with cozy chaos: Jenni, Melissa, Annabelle, and Carter went LIVE for a Puppy Pajama Party featuring paint, pizza, pajamas, and Halfway Husky snuggles. Thanks to your support, we’re paw-printing books, sharing stories, and staying up late with love.
📚 New books
🛋️ Cozy vibes

🆕 Rescue Rides x2 : Meet Creed and Elvis – Our Newest Halfway Huskies
We’ve got two new huskies joining the Halfway House family—and their freedom rides are the kind of moments we live for.
🚗 Creed, rescued from the Enid shelter, is the latest soul saved thanks to your support and Jenni’s boots-on-the-ground determination.
You can see the moment everything changed for him right here: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/14NjjubnxN/
🎶 And just when you thought it couldn’t get sweeter—Mike picked up a very special pup and gave him a name fit for a king: Elvis. His journey home started with love, music, and a ride straight to safety.
