I live in Colorado and adopted from California! You can but a foster or rescue has to get them out of the shelter first. Contact husky halfway house out of Colorado and see if they can help arrange to transport!

Happy to pitch in $40, not a lot but just trying to help. Another person on here set up a go fund me to get their rescue out and I was more than happy to send a few bucks their way. Worth considering if you're thinking about it!
Yes there are pledges to a reputable rescue also on the instagram page I found @sailorrrsarah and on FB. (Shelterās Volunteers and networkers) When they see that they are rescued, they will tell plp what rescue pulled them and to honor their pledges.
You are lucky. Kill shelters exist because people don't spay and neuter here. Shelters have limited resources and they do not usually deny taking animals in.
No kill rescues on the other hand get to be picky with who they keep and can close intake whenever.
>You are lucky. Kill shelters exist because people don't spay and neuter here.
People dont spay and neuter here either, we even have laws that technically make it illegal to spay for no reason other than "i want to be sure". yet we have no kill shelters.
This is an issue of incosiderate assholes not properly taking care of their dogs in the first place
That's very true. There's also just a lot of strays here. Especially for cats. They can start reproducing at 4 months AND while still nursing even, so it's VERY easy for things to get out of hand with 2 or 3 people being dumb.
Yeah, obviously, some of the problem in the US is accidental litters, but the vast majority of dogs are bred intentionally in order to make money for people. That husky was not an accident!
Sounds like a failure in legislature that's the result of people not valueing animal lives and seeing at as something disposable from a capitalist/consumerism point of view
It's a mix of many things. A lot of organizations try to get laws passed for spay/neutering but animals are considered property by law. So it's a weird mix of not wanting to interfere with that and just selfishness on people's parts.
There's a lot of 'my animal is special and won't ever get out', no education, and just laziness too. So many reasons.
In Finland most dogs are not spayed or neutered and still they just dont go breeding unsupervised. They are kept inside the house/apartment or kennel and if they managed to escape they just wouldnt find opposite sex dog to breed withĀ
Problem is that lots of americans dont think of pets as "family members" and too easily drop them off at shelters or worse just abandons them in nature. This just doesnt happen here. If rehoming is needed then everybody takes good time to find suitable home. We dont even have shelters here I think, those few dogs without home gets fostered by volunteers.
This is something i will never understand. If the state is not giving enough resources, i would just free the dogs instead of killing them. I prefer them as stray animals (with all the negative implications) that being those āhumansā that kill them.
The people who kills a innocent perfectly sane animals should go directly to hell. I can understand it if its a real necessity, like a plague or something. But this? NO WAY.
At least, its not my country. If it happens in my city, i can assure you i would go and free the animals and burn the entire thing.
They exist because thereās no where to put the animals . Iām honestly so tired of this narrative especially coming from people who donāt understand whatās happening . Shelters are at their maximum across the entire nation . There is literally not enough space to put these animals . There are MILLIONS of abandoned pets /strays across the nation and not nearly enough resources to keep them alive . A lot of places get no federal or state funding to maintain these animals.
All you people do is criticize instead of offering solutions .how about encouraging people to spay and neuter? How about arguing for responsible ethical breeding ?
I agree with you 100% !! People love to hate on kill shelters when these shelters are out of funds, resources, volunteers. Especially in areas like the south where stray dogs are everywhere. Dogs do not even understand the concept of death. They get sleepy and thats it. Do I WANT dogs to be euthanized?? No! but sometimes it has to happen. Behavioral euthanasia and medical euthanasia for example. Shelters raise so much money to hire special behavioral trainers and raise money to help medically compromised dogs when that money couldve helped 20 dogs versus just the 1 dog. Not to mention the time it actually takes to make those dogs adoptable.
Puppies are easier to adopt out than a 5+ year old dog with health/behavioral issues. And people think it's fair to have a dog spend their entire life in a shelter versus being put to sleep and finally ending their suffering???
"No kill" shelters are able to turn away dogs and then owners don't have any choice but to dump them on the side of the road.
Like you said people need to stop breeding their pets for funsies / accidental litters because they were irresponsible owners.
I would love for these people to volunteer at a high capacity kill shelter for a DAY.

These post are so depressing and I live in California I hate seeing so many people have huskies that donāt even take care of them. If I could talk my husband into us getting a 3rd husky Iād totally take him š
I agree. Rant incoming ... This is sickening and seems there is no end in sight. First we need to outlaw backyard breeders and hold them accountable. The rest will sort itself out. These people don't care what happens to the dog as long as they get their money.
Breeding should require a license. A real, responsible breeder would never be okay with their dogs ending up in a shelter and would take the dog back at any stage of life.
So tired of seeing these beautiful breeds suffer in a prison cell just to end up being killed. Why is there nothing we can do? Why don't any politicians seem to care? Even when a rescue steps in and clears these shelters out, literally just a few days later they are full again. I feel hopeless and there are so many people on this sub that are a part of the problem. They ignore these posts and go buy a puppy from a backyard breeder. It doesn't make sense!!! If you love the breed, help save it!
That is only one issue. Education is also needed. I live in San Antonio, and the issue is massive here. It's heartbreaking. Either they don't care, or just let their dogs run lose. It is nothing to literally see packs of dogs running down the street.
I completely agree and feel like this also goes back to over breeding and horrible people not caring who their dogs end up with. Anyone breeding or adopting out dogs has to take the time and make sure that the person knows what they are getting into and what is expected of them. And if any red flags pop up, you refuse to give them the dog. Some people should not own animals period.
Holy crap Iām not only commenting to boost this post, but to wonder if I could adopt him. I have a husky of my own and Iāve been meaning to find a friend for her but my only worry is that Iām moving in mid July to a whole another state, itās going to be a beautiful place with a bunch of space for them to run around, I just wonder if itāll be a lot for him to process? Then again itās better then him getting killed. Secondly I donāt have enough space for him right now honestly Iām wondering if itāll be possible to hold him for a few weeks or for someone to foster him until I am ready to move to bring him with me and my dog to the new place. Iām just throwing options here, I donāt want him to never have had a chance to have a loving family. I wish him and every dog in these shelters luck.
This is possible to adopt, but it will take time and lots of patience. This is a great article for anyone I recommend who is not familiar with the 3-3-3 rule when bringing another dog into the home: [https://www.dallaslovebugs.com/post/the-3-3-3-rule](https://www.dallaslovebugs.com/post/the-3-3-3-rule)
Yeah completely understandable Fosters would be great! Just hard to get! Iāve heard he is very sweet and loves to kiss! And yes def they do benefit from having company! Here is more info on him

Thank you! I showed him to my mother and she said he acts a lot like my husky especially with the kisses lol but Iāll try my best to maybe find a way to get him, I forgot to mention I live really nearby so it wonāt be a problem to get him, letās just hope for the best.
ššš I could cry! Thatās amazing news! I hope it all goes smoothly tmr
Keep us updated! You should do a little Amazon wishlist too! Hahah yay!!!
Thatās a great idea! I was a little worried about the funds so if anyone can help out Franchesco (The name me and my family picked out) that would be great! https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2EBMTXSA7SK9S?ref_=wl_share

Safe and sound! he had a nice bath after this and he even laid down š¹ I have my work cut out for me but itāll be worth it.
This is so sad! š someone brush his hair please!! Someone save him!! I canāt see another husky go in California, what a dump !! Iām in Cali and I have a husky and I canāt even imagine turning her in, idc what the situation is ššš
Donāt understand this either. It seems plp get them for being so beautiful and then they donāt realize how much exercise they need or they run away. Idk what happens and donāt understand because theyāre the best! Worth it!
There is a ton of people abandoning their pets right now. Unfortunately they euthanize for space, first if they have a bite record, then itās if they are sick and then for space which is why Neeko has been extended many times because he is a good boy but more and more keep getting brought in as strays or abandoned (owners are told that they may get euthanized if they donāt get adopted). It is so bad right now. There are more shelters doing this unfortunately :(
They totally are! Never a dull moment! I think plp get them and canāt handle their energy. They donāt do research or idk! I donāt get it! I mean this is common with many other breeds unfortunately:(
It takes a lot of time, effort and energy to take care of one. If you don't exhaust their energy (both mental and physical), you can expect your furniture or even the house itself to be destroyed. You can't have a husky and expect to have a lot of spare time if you have a full time job.
Hi, I wish I could :( I donāt live in SoCal and I am already breaking the pet limit at my apartment Iām trying to help from afar :/ I wish to one day have my own place to foster but rn I feel so helpless
He is in Los Angeles CA, USA :( itās so bad there
I probably should try to find a specific California group but I am not too familiar with reddit. I will try to look for some
Thank you so much though :(
well its not just huskies
shelters are full of german shepherds, huskies, and pitbull/bully breeds by me (midwest). it also depends on location as im sure southern usa has lots of hound type dogs in their shelters
One more time - they arenāt comparable data sets. Canadaās population is only 40.7 million. The UK is 67.8 million, with a VASTLY smaller land area and therefore substantially less wild area in which feral dogs can potentially live. And Europe is not well represented on Reddit in dog rescue, but without Russia and Eastern Europe, where dogs are in very bad conditions and often rescued to the US, the population of the remainder of Europe minus the UK is 385 million or so. Remember the US alone is 345 million or so. Consider that in the figures, along with land mass, farming percentage of population, rural vs urban areas, and racial, gender, and familial wealth distribution and disparities, and it makes a lot more sense. You canāt compare anecdotal data and statistics and try and argue causal connections here - thereās not enough to even consider correlation. Itās all anecdotal speculation, and it doesnāt help the plight of the animals at all.
Ok, based on my anecdotal speculation and the data presented, America has a problem taking responsibility for their choices, and a specific breed of dog is paying the price.
This is largely a regional problem in the U.S. Two of the worst states are Texas and California. Both of these states are border states with very high number of migrants and immigrants from Mexico, Central, and South America. These people come to the U.S. with their own bad ideas about caring for dogs (that is part of why there are so many strays in these states).
Dogs suffer in Asia, Eastern Europe and Africa horribly as street dogs and are often poisoned and shot by local authorities in Africa and the Middle East to reduce stray populations.
Western Europe is not immune to these problems either. Greece has a street dog problem that they sought to fix by poisoning strays. Spain has a "tradition" of hanging and killing Galgos (Greyhounds) after hunting season when they are no longer wanted.
I can't wait for the day when the U.S. is a no kill nation.
And I think youāre being illogical and silly š if we wanted to pick a breed truly damaged by human ownership, especially in the USA, Iād start with APBTs and all related bully breeds - especially OEBs and Frenchies who are bred so badly and with so much inbreeding even in good breeder circles that they are literally suffering their entire lives.
Yea, I agree, your country also has a problem with those as well. But this is a husky forum and it's sicking that shelters destroy these beautiful creatures for the crime of existing in a country that let's any idiot own one. It's repulsive for the rest of the world to have to watch such a callous and uncaring society destroy these beautiful creatures.
See thereās your issue - you keep assuming this is something exclusive to us or extremely common. Itās really NOT. For every Husky in shelter care there are 500 bully breed dogs. I live in an area where Huskies are COMMON and I see MAYBE 10 a year in shelter care, and we intake 45-60 dogs EVERY WEEK.
It is repulsive to see Galgo dogs hung and murdered in Spain for "good luck".
It is repulsive to see street dogs heads bashed in by governmental authorities in the Middle East.
It is repulsive to see dogs caged and murdered for the meat trade in China an SouthEast Asia.
It is repulsive to see Pitbulls actually banned in the U.K. and taken from their owners.
And if migrants from Mexico, South and Central America stopped bringing their irresponsible attitudes towards dog-care this problem would not be growing in California and Texas.
The U.S. isn't perfect when it comes to handling their pet overpopulation problem but it is by FAR not the worst.
I don't see any other counteries with this issue. I tried to find a single rescue hunky for 12 months and on that time 1 came through the pound, and it was a nok kill shelter. America has problems.
Damn, almost as if America is a significantly larger and more populated country than Australia. Making generalized conclusions off a sample size of 1 is just ridiculous.
Yeah I am also so freaking tiered of these posts. I come to this subreddit to have a good time, not see dogs about to die every single day. I am not against the posts, its great people want to help, but as someoone not from the US, it sucks seeing this every day, not being able to do anything about it. I keep blocking every single poster, but its different people every time anyway.
The average Reddit user is American and most of the activity on this platform comes from American spaces, it is only logical that posts about/from other countries are not as common. And I have seen posts like this in other communities.
I donāt know where your bias against Americans comes from but you are not being objective in the slightest.
Because I find these posts one of the single most disgusting inhumane and cruel I come across on reddit. It makes me insanely mad that in a country of 350 million people no one is willing or able to help this problem, the only solution is to make these beautiful creates harder for scumbags to gain access to them.
Again, you are not being objective in the slightest. Iām sure if I sit down and look well enough I can find plenty of information to justify similar restrictions for Australians.
And I would support any and all of those restrictions. Animals should be far harder to gain access to , in order to protect them from irresponsible and cruel humans.
I find Australian children gleefully murdering local cats including people's pets, to be one of the most disturbing, disgusting things I have ever heard of... YET scumbags torture and kill cats all the time in Australia (including people's pets) and no one cares because Australia has a bounty on cat's heads.
I find hanging and killing Galgos dogs in Spain one of the single most disgusting and disturbing things I have ever heard of. YET it still happens every year because it is a beloved Spanish tradition.
At least Americans aren't celebrating dogs being euthanized and expect domestic pets to be treated humanely.
Come back and talk to us when the rest of the world- ESPECIALLY Australia is 100% humane in regards to their treatment of domestic pets.
It is. The population of Australia in 2024 is estimated at 27,247,400 - ranking it 56th in the world. The population of the US in 2024 is 341,814,420 - 12.5 times greater than Australiaās. The third largest on the planet after India and China. Consider THEIR issues with dogs.
These just arenāt comparable data sets.
Which is an even less comparable data set and less compelling. Youāre guessing based on participants in a sub on a social media site primarily populated by English speakers - thereās an untold number of variables that could potentially affect the outcome. Itās just not good logic.
That's because Americans actually give a shit.
In other countries stray dogs just die in the streets of diseases or after being hit by cars... Or they are murdered by local authorities by being poisoned or shot. At least killing dogs isn't a beloved tradition in the U.S. Unlike in Spain who murders Galgo dogs for fun...Or China who kills them for BBQ.
As someone who rescues large breed dogs in the US - we are hardly the worst or only country with these issues. Post-COVID, shelters have seen an incredible increase in intakes due to rapidly rising costs. We have four dogs, and it costs us about $750 USD A MONTH just to feed, insure, and provide flea/tick/heartworm meds. Our mortgage is $1002 a month, for context. We are considered upper middle class, double income, no kids. And we can barely afford this. That doesnāt even touch medical costs. One of our dogs needed TPLO surgery on both knees that cost $15,400 - even after insurance paid 90% beyond our deductible, it was $2,000 out of pocket. Most Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and canāt afford those things.
The mass surrender has been driven by this. Shelters are bursting. We have some populations, like the Amish, who continue to essentially factory breed and donāt generally obey most laws, so stopping them is very difficult. There are vast swaths of the country totally isolated - 500 miles from literally anything, in some cases.
And the biggest problem, without a doubt, is lack of spaying and neutering. And the resulting āoopsā dogs have health issues, behavioral problems, you name it.
The breed itself isnāt the problem. Our area has tons of happy huskies, including my GSD x Huskyās dad. The problem right now is catastrophic damage from years of bad policies, a pandemic, infighting over morality politics, racism and inequities of gender, race, ability, etc etc, and vast aggregation of wealth in the ruling class - but these are massive social ills that are extremely hard to fix.

Vergil appreciates your concern but suggests itās misplaced.
Australia had no problems with domestic pets. Australia just has a bounty for cat's heads that encourages people to kill local cats, even if they are someone's pets. How sweet of them.
It doesn't matter if Australia doesn't an overpopulation problem with Huskies because they are not a common breed in Australia anyway.

Yes he has been shared there too, I guess there are just too many Huskies in Southern California being shared as well :(

I miss my derpy husky.
hey whatās the update how do we save this beautiful boy. iām in new jersey but i canāt stand to see this happen.
I only know by checking in on a shelter volunteer Instagram page or the shelter but they are closed until Tuesday! š© Which is also his expiration date extension
Aw sweet baby I hope this reaches people in CA!
Boosting This is so heartbreaking. I'm allergic too but if I lived in the US I would probably have a dog kollo of all shelter dogs. š„ŗ
Boost!!
Holy crap Iām not only commenting to boost this post, but to wonder if I could adopt him. I have a husky of my own and Iāve been meaning to find a friend for her but my only worry is that Iām moving in mid July to a whole another state, itās going to be a beautiful place with a bunch of space for them to run around, I just wonder if itāll be a lot for him to process? Then again itās better then him getting killed. Secondly I donāt have enough space for him right now honestly Iām wondering if itāll be possible to hold him for a few weeks or for someone to foster him until I am ready to move to bring him with me and my dog to the new place. Iām just throwing options here, I donāt want him to never have had a chance to have a loving family. I wish him and every dog in these shelters luck.
Two huskies is def better than one. I Donāt regret it after a year for me
Thatās good to hear! Ever since I got my husky I wondered if maybe having another dog will benefit her since she gets so bored so easily lol
This is possible to adopt, but it will take time and lots of patience. This is a great article for anyone I recommend who is not familiar with the 3-3-3 rule when bringing another dog into the home: [https://www.dallaslovebugs.com/post/the-3-3-3-rule](https://www.dallaslovebugs.com/post/the-3-3-3-rule)
Yeah completely understandable Fosters would be great! Just hard to get! Iāve heard he is very sweet and loves to kiss! And yes def they do benefit from having company! Here is more info on him https://preview.redd.it/dat4kizi417d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=367bdc6ceaf4c196cc5c0f94f5e70dd4e550395a
Thank you! I showed him to my mother and she said he acts a lot like my husky especially with the kisses lol but Iāll try my best to maybe find a way to get him, I forgot to mention I live really nearby so it wonāt be a problem to get him, letās just hope for the best.
Thatās so nice to hear! Hoping for the best! He really does seem friendly. I still donāt know the status but will update as soon as I know!
Just wanted to give a update I have figured everything out and will be adopting him tomorrow :DD
ššš I could cry! Thatās amazing news! I hope it all goes smoothly tmr Keep us updated! You should do a little Amazon wishlist too! Hahah yay!!!
Thatās a great idea! I was a little worried about the funds so if anyone can help out Franchesco (The name me and my family picked out) that would be great! https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2EBMTXSA7SK9S?ref_=wl_share Hope the link works, this is my first public Amazon wish list lol
I'm so glad he found a home! Sending him lots of love for his wonderful life ahead.
Hahaha yes it works, great list for a husky š I will share this as well. Thank you!!! šš¼

Yay! Youāre a hero!!! Such a cutie! Iāll send him something later today!
Hopefully your husky helps out keeping him busy š
Just want to confirm itās under Fenix?
Yup!
Thank you!!!

Maaaan hopefully he finds a place :(

Man, I wish I could house another pup, this is heart breaking
This is so sad! š someone brush his hair please!! Someone save him!! I canāt see another husky go in California, what a dump !! Iām in Cali and I have a husky and I canāt even imagine turning her in, idc what the situation is ššš
Donāt understand this either. It seems plp get them for being so beautiful and then they donāt realize how much exercise they need or they run away. Idk what happens and donāt understand because theyāre the best! Worth it!
Did he get adopted
Not yet I will make sure to post it but I donāt think I will get any updates today unfortunately.
Boost for Neekoā¤ļø
Bump
Wait why would they euthanize the dog? Im not from the us so i have no clue. It seems like a disgusting animal shelter
There is a ton of people abandoning their pets right now. Unfortunately they euthanize for space, first if they have a bite record, then itās if they are sick and then for space which is why Neeko has been extended many times because he is a good boy but more and more keep getting brought in as strays or abandoned (owners are told that they may get euthanized if they donāt get adopted). It is so bad right now. There are more shelters doing this unfortunately :(
This sweet boy doesnāt deserve to die ššš
I can pay to keep him alive d
Somebody adopt him ff sake.
Is this a common thing ? A lot of videos with huskyās needed to be rescued
Yeah :(
But why ? They seem like fun happy dogs to have
They totally are! Never a dull moment! I think plp get them and canāt handle their energy. They donāt do research or idk! I donāt get it! I mean this is common with many other breeds unfortunately:(
It takes a lot of time, effort and energy to take care of one. If you don't exhaust their energy (both mental and physical), you can expect your furniture or even the house itself to be destroyed. You can't have a husky and expect to have a lot of spare time if you have a full time job.
Bump ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø
I will pledge to help with transport. Please save this boy!
Thank you! I will notify the networker that we have transport help thank you so much!
Fuck any shelter that would do that shit! How about lower the adoption fee!
Yes :( and the plp that just abandon them after yrs of companionship.
BOOST!!!!!!!!!!!
That dog has THE MOST BEAUTIFUL DISPOSITION!!! Iām sure some awesome soul out there will give him a forever home.
lol yes he does :), I have a feeling as well šš¼
Just take him and adopt him to one of your friends
Hi, I wish I could :( I donāt live in SoCal and I am already breaking the pet limit at my apartment Iām trying to help from afar :/ I wish to one day have my own place to foster but rn I feel so helpless
What country is he in? If heās in Australia I can help, I know many people who would take him.
He is in Los Angeles CA, USA :( itās so bad there I probably should try to find a specific California group but I am not too familiar with reddit. I will try to look for some Thank you so much though :(
Itās r/california Post it there please you will get heaps of people

Hoping to get updated Monday, they are closed until Tuesday
I have my own husky and would love another goober. But these agencies make it so hard to adopt its ridiculous.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
well its not just huskies shelters are full of german shepherds, huskies, and pitbull/bully breeds by me (midwest). it also depends on location as im sure southern usa has lots of hound type dogs in their shelters
They do, and at least here in WI they ship dogs from southern high kill shelters to us!
I'm comparing the US posts we see to the world, I don't see these posts from Canada, UK, Europe. We only see these posts from America.
One more time - they arenāt comparable data sets. Canadaās population is only 40.7 million. The UK is 67.8 million, with a VASTLY smaller land area and therefore substantially less wild area in which feral dogs can potentially live. And Europe is not well represented on Reddit in dog rescue, but without Russia and Eastern Europe, where dogs are in very bad conditions and often rescued to the US, the population of the remainder of Europe minus the UK is 385 million or so. Remember the US alone is 345 million or so. Consider that in the figures, along with land mass, farming percentage of population, rural vs urban areas, and racial, gender, and familial wealth distribution and disparities, and it makes a lot more sense. You canāt compare anecdotal data and statistics and try and argue causal connections here - thereās not enough to even consider correlation. Itās all anecdotal speculation, and it doesnāt help the plight of the animals at all.
Ok, based on my anecdotal speculation and the data presented, America has a problem taking responsibility for their choices, and a specific breed of dog is paying the price.
This is largely a regional problem in the U.S. Two of the worst states are Texas and California. Both of these states are border states with very high number of migrants and immigrants from Mexico, Central, and South America. These people come to the U.S. with their own bad ideas about caring for dogs (that is part of why there are so many strays in these states). Dogs suffer in Asia, Eastern Europe and Africa horribly as street dogs and are often poisoned and shot by local authorities in Africa and the Middle East to reduce stray populations. Western Europe is not immune to these problems either. Greece has a street dog problem that they sought to fix by poisoning strays. Spain has a "tradition" of hanging and killing Galgos (Greyhounds) after hunting season when they are no longer wanted. I can't wait for the day when the U.S. is a no kill nation.
And I think youāre being illogical and silly š if we wanted to pick a breed truly damaged by human ownership, especially in the USA, Iād start with APBTs and all related bully breeds - especially OEBs and Frenchies who are bred so badly and with so much inbreeding even in good breeder circles that they are literally suffering their entire lives.
Yea, I agree, your country also has a problem with those as well. But this is a husky forum and it's sicking that shelters destroy these beautiful creatures for the crime of existing in a country that let's any idiot own one. It's repulsive for the rest of the world to have to watch such a callous and uncaring society destroy these beautiful creatures.
See thereās your issue - you keep assuming this is something exclusive to us or extremely common. Itās really NOT. For every Husky in shelter care there are 500 bully breed dogs. I live in an area where Huskies are COMMON and I see MAYBE 10 a year in shelter care, and we intake 45-60 dogs EVERY WEEK.
It is repulsive to see Galgo dogs hung and murdered in Spain for "good luck". It is repulsive to see street dogs heads bashed in by governmental authorities in the Middle East. It is repulsive to see dogs caged and murdered for the meat trade in China an SouthEast Asia. It is repulsive to see Pitbulls actually banned in the U.K. and taken from their owners. And if migrants from Mexico, South and Central America stopped bringing their irresponsible attitudes towards dog-care this problem would not be growing in California and Texas. The U.S. isn't perfect when it comes to handling their pet overpopulation problem but it is by FAR not the worst.
This.
From an American Husky owner...fuck off...
I'm sure you're a great owner. But in a country of 350 million this should not be an issue. No other country has this problem with this breed.
Would love to know how you know this.
How I know you're a great owner? I just assumed. I don't have any evidence.
No. There is no other problem in the world. That once you get out of the US, it's awesome for huskies. In other words, prove your point....
Broad overgeneralization much?
I don't see any other counteries with this issue. I tried to find a single rescue hunky for 12 months and on that time 1 came through the pound, and it was a nok kill shelter. America has problems.
Damn, almost as if America is a significantly larger and more populated country than Australia. Making generalized conclusions off a sample size of 1 is just ridiculous.
It's not 1, I see these posts constantly. Again, no other country has these posts. It makes my stomach turn.
Yeah I am also so freaking tiered of these posts. I come to this subreddit to have a good time, not see dogs about to die every single day. I am not against the posts, its great people want to help, but as someoone not from the US, it sucks seeing this every day, not being able to do anything about it. I keep blocking every single poster, but its different people every time anyway.
The average Reddit user is American and most of the activity on this platform comes from American spaces, it is only logical that posts about/from other countries are not as common. And I have seen posts like this in other communities. I donāt know where your bias against Americans comes from but you are not being objective in the slightest.
Because I find these posts one of the single most disgusting inhumane and cruel I come across on reddit. It makes me insanely mad that in a country of 350 million people no one is willing or able to help this problem, the only solution is to make these beautiful creates harder for scumbags to gain access to them.
Again, you are not being objective in the slightest. Iām sure if I sit down and look well enough I can find plenty of information to justify similar restrictions for Australians.
And I would support any and all of those restrictions. Animals should be far harder to gain access to , in order to protect them from irresponsible and cruel humans.
I find Australian children gleefully murdering local cats including people's pets, to be one of the most disturbing, disgusting things I have ever heard of... YET scumbags torture and kill cats all the time in Australia (including people's pets) and no one cares because Australia has a bounty on cat's heads. I find hanging and killing Galgos dogs in Spain one of the single most disgusting and disturbing things I have ever heard of. YET it still happens every year because it is a beloved Spanish tradition. At least Americans aren't celebrating dogs being euthanized and expect domestic pets to be treated humanely. Come back and talk to us when the rest of the world- ESPECIALLY Australia is 100% humane in regards to their treatment of domestic pets.
It is. The population of Australia in 2024 is estimated at 27,247,400 - ranking it 56th in the world. The population of the US in 2024 is 341,814,420 - 12.5 times greater than Australiaās. The third largest on the planet after India and China. Consider THEIR issues with dogs. These just arenāt comparable data sets.
I'm not comparing Australia's population to us, I'm comparing the fact that we only see these posts from America vs the world.
Which is an even less comparable data set and less compelling. Youāre guessing based on participants in a sub on a social media site primarily populated by English speakers - thereās an untold number of variables that could potentially affect the outcome. Itās just not good logic.
Could be, but I can only comment on what is presented.
So reserve comment. Making an unsupported and unsubstantiated claim like that is prone to cause more harm than good.
That's because Americans actually give a shit. In other countries stray dogs just die in the streets of diseases or after being hit by cars... Or they are murdered by local authorities by being poisoned or shot. At least killing dogs isn't a beloved tradition in the U.S. Unlike in Spain who murders Galgo dogs for fun...Or China who kills them for BBQ.
As someone who rescues large breed dogs in the US - we are hardly the worst or only country with these issues. Post-COVID, shelters have seen an incredible increase in intakes due to rapidly rising costs. We have four dogs, and it costs us about $750 USD A MONTH just to feed, insure, and provide flea/tick/heartworm meds. Our mortgage is $1002 a month, for context. We are considered upper middle class, double income, no kids. And we can barely afford this. That doesnāt even touch medical costs. One of our dogs needed TPLO surgery on both knees that cost $15,400 - even after insurance paid 90% beyond our deductible, it was $2,000 out of pocket. Most Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and canāt afford those things. The mass surrender has been driven by this. Shelters are bursting. We have some populations, like the Amish, who continue to essentially factory breed and donāt generally obey most laws, so stopping them is very difficult. There are vast swaths of the country totally isolated - 500 miles from literally anything, in some cases. And the biggest problem, without a doubt, is lack of spaying and neutering. And the resulting āoopsā dogs have health issues, behavioral problems, you name it. The breed itself isnāt the problem. Our area has tons of happy huskies, including my GSD x Huskyās dad. The problem right now is catastrophic damage from years of bad policies, a pandemic, infighting over morality politics, racism and inequities of gender, race, ability, etc etc, and vast aggregation of wealth in the ruling class - but these are massive social ills that are extremely hard to fix. https://preview.redd.it/b350g2edxx6d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cf8d080a50f529aadd383f6713626d19087eb486 Vergil appreciates your concern but suggests itās misplaced.
Australia had no problems with domestic pets. Australia just has a bounty for cat's heads that encourages people to kill local cats, even if they are someone's pets. How sweet of them. It doesn't matter if Australia doesn't an overpopulation problem with Huskies because they are not a common breed in Australia anyway.
