H3 Rescue Recap (May 21–25)
Some rescues have clean floors and quiet kennels.
We’ve got muddy play yards, stormy skies, and a pack of howling huskies who don’t quit.
And honestly? We wouldn’t have it any other way.
(Okay… maybe less mud would be nice.)
From emotional rescue rides
to new adoptions and a renewed call for justice, here’s everything that went down at Husky Halfway House this past week
Vivian the Houdini Husky & Stormy Tantrums
Vivian has been with us for over 1,200 days—that’s more than three years of waiting. She’s our clever red escape artist who’s outsmarted every fence we’ve built… but what she really wants is a forever home with a secure yard and someone who understands her independent heart.
Watch her story:

Meanwhile, Oklahoma storms turned our play yards into swamps and our huskies into chaos gremlins. We caught it all live—mud, madness, and all.
See the soggy mess:

Senior Spotlight: Kaliska's Incredible Progress
When Kaliska arrived at H3, she was 17 years old and weighed just 24 pounds. She could barely stand. Now? Only. A few weeks later? She’s wagging her tail, walking, eating, and reminding us why we say yes—even when it’s hard.
See her progress:

Peanut: Pure Husky Energy
Four years old, 100% chaos. Peanut is the kind of husky who doesn’t walk—he bounces. He zooms. He sings. If you're looking for built-in cardio and constant laughs, he's your guy.

Emergency Vet Costs & A/C Failures: We Need Your Help
We thought we were ahead—then the emergencies hit again.
Main house A/C died: $4,000
Vaccines for Kaliska’s siblings: Nearly $1,000
Eye surgery needed for Blair: Pending cost
Every week brings new challenges, and we can’t face them without you. Whether it’s a donation, a share, or a shop order—you’re the reason we can keep showing up.
Sophie: Queen of Sass, Fluff & Drama
Sophie has spent nearly 800 days at H3, and she’s ready to rule her own kingdom. This wooly, high-maintenance queen wants a home where she’s the star. No competing females allowed—she’s the full show.
See her royal decree:

At Husky Halfway House, it’s not just humans doing the healing—our husky pack helps each other recover from trauma too. In one of our most powerful videos yet, we captured the quiet comfort of pack therapy. New arrivals are welcomed, comforted, and protected by the pack, reminding us all: you’re safe here now.

Welcome Home, Freddie (Mercury!)
Freddie has officially arrived at Husky Halfway House—and he made his debut with a live video. Like so many, he needs support for vet care, food, and the long road ahead. Every new arrival adds to our family and our financial needs. Please consider making a donation or shopping our store to help us care for Freddie and his pack.
Justice for Ruby: The Fight Continues
We haven’t forgotten Ruby. Locked in a bathroom. Driven to chew off her tail. One of 55 abused special needs dogs. While her abuser sits in jail, we’re fighting for real justice.
We’ve already spent $1,700 on legal fees. We need help covering that—and continuing the fight.
Donate $100 or more and get a limited-edition Ruby pin as our thank-you.

Phoenix Has Been Found
Phoenix was missing— already scarred and traumatized, then he was gone. Escaping and running away. But thanks to an incredible team of humans who refused to give up, he’s been found! His journey continues to remind us how much every life matters.
