Our Mission

ASHRA is a 501(c)(3), Non-Profit, Voluteer-run Organization that rescues Siberian Huskies and places them into Qualified Homes, as well as educates the public on the special needs of the Siberian.  If your are not familiar with the Siberian Husky, and even if you are, we strongly urge you to visit our Links page.  There we provide excellent resources for learning about the characteristics of the Siberian Husky. 

Help Indio Get His Sight Back!

Indio is a young Siberian that was rescued from a Tucson Shelter last November. He came to us scared, sick and covered with bite wounds in varying stages of healing. He had an intestinal infection and was terrified of everything. When he saw another dog, he would hit the ground. Indio’s foster parents have worked with him, given him lots of love and helped him gain back his confidence, so he’s a much happier dog now. But in the course of veterinary trips for treatment of wounds and infections, we found out that Indio has juvenile cataracts and is almost blind. We think that this contributed in large part to his fears. We took him to a veterinary ophthalmologist for an evaluation and because his retinas are healthy, Indio is an excellent candidate for successful cataract surgery. The estimate for both eyes is between $3600 and $4400.

Since Indio is so young, less than 18 months old, we really want to give him his sight back. This is a huge expense for ASHRA so we need to raise more funds before he can have the surgery. Please help Indio get his sight back. You can donate via PayPal using the button below or send a check to ASHRA, Inc. PO Box 14801, Scottsdale, AZ 85267. All donations are tax deductible.

Thinking about buying a dog instead of adopting?

Thinking about breeding your dog? Watch this slideshow first. While this is from Atlanta, the same thing happens in every city in America, including Phoenix. We have too many dogs, and half of the unwanted ones wind up being killed in shelters. Adopt a dog today and always spay/neuter your pet!

Lots of Needy Sibes at Local Shelters

As is now the norm, our foster homes are full and there are quite a few Sibes showing up in the valley animal control shelters. If you are considering adopting a Sibe, please consider checking the shelters first! See a list of all area shelters here.

1. While we often hear from people interested in volunteering their time to help ASHRA, our single greatest need is foster homes. The more foster homes we have the more dogs we can save, and we only have a few foster homes right now. Please.. if you are at all interested in fostering a Siberian Husky in need, and you live in Arizona, please contact us to be evaluated for this invaluable and rewarding service. Thank you! Note: We have NO foster space available right now and are even more desperate than usual for foster homes. Please help if you can!!
2. There is an adoption fee for each of our rescued Siberian Huskies of $150.00 regardless of age. This fee is slightly higher if the dog is microchipped

KJ & LB Need Your Help!

KJ and LB are 4-month old survivors of parvovirus. They became seriously ill shortly after they were taken into an ASHRA foster home in November. We almost lost them both. We were able to save them both at great expense – it cost ASHRA over $3500 for hospitalization, testing and medications. We are looking for donations to help defray this cost. ASHRA is a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Corporation, so all of your donations are tax deductible.

KJ and LB are fully recovered now and no longer contagious. LB has been adopted and KJ's adoption is currently pending. We still need all the help we can get financially for these two, though, and any donations would be greatly appreciated!
