Vancouver Reskies consists
of members of the American Eskimo Dogs Organization of
Vancouver who are dedicated to saving the lives of American Eskimo Dogs in Canada.
We help Eskie rescues by helping to find a suitable loving forever
home.
Our mission is to:
Save American Eskimo dogs from unnecessary euthanasia and situations of neglect.
We assist American Eskimo Dogs whose owners can no longer provide a permanent home by
helping them find
suitable loving forever homes.
Here is how we can help:
1. We have a list of applicants who have applied to take in a rescued Eskie. Please
email a photo and details of the Eskie that needs rescue and we will forward this to our
list of people who have applied to adopt an Eskie. Be sure to include name, age, sex, neutered/spayed, vaccinations, health information and any details about the Eskie important for new owners to know. These details
will also be forwarded to our members in case a member is prepared to adopt another
Eskie. We will also post photo and info on our website home page
and this Rescue web page.
2. Post a photo and information about the Eskie along with your contact information rescue on our Facebook page:
https://www.facebook.com/AmericanEskimoDogsOrganizationOfVancouver/
3. Within the Vancouver Lower Mainland area, many of the BCSPCA branches have a "no kill" policy. Call a nearby SPCA branch to find out about their
rescue policies. Some of the BCSPCA
branches work with Satellite Adoption Centres which are pet stores and veterinary hospitals to
give pets a greater chance for adoption.
In the Vancouver Lower Mainland area, the BCSPCA Vancouver Animal Hospital is dedicated
to providing emergency and routine medical care to the animals in their care. You may call them at 604-879-3571. They are located at 1205 East 7th Avenue.
4. If you live in Canada, and you wish to place your Eskie up for adoption, you may consider placing a free advertisement in Canada's largest free classifieds ads site,
www.kijiji.ca. This is a
highly trafficked website and you are sure to get lots of
response to your ad. People have reported to us that they were able to re-home their
Eskie within a few days. Owners are able to screen applicants directly and this
helps all around to find the most suitable new forever home. Choose to place your ad in the largest city close to
where you live. There is a section to advertise pets," free to
donate".
"This is an amazing group of people very dedicated to their breed. This organization was instrumental in helping me
home a dog that may have been difficult to re-home. These wonderful people were extremely helpful and I learned a
lot about the breed from them and their website. American Eskimo Dogs Organization Vancouver help support other
rescue societies in their time of need. I invite you to check out their website to see what organizations they
help with and if you are interested in learning more about American Eskimos."

A
local Vancouver company, http://www.petrecognition.com has
developed facial recognition technology for pets and set-up an Amber
Alert system people can subscribe to for $1.49 per month. People
take a photo of their pet and upload it. If their pet
goes missing, alerts go out to vets, shelters & social media to help find
their pet. This app is currently available for iPhones and will soon be available for android devices. |

If you know of an Eskie who needs rescue, please fill out
the form below and we will get in touch as soon as possible.
For emergencies, please call 604-929-9279.
Eskie Rescue Adoption Application
If you are interested in adopting an Eskie who has been
rescued and is currently being fostered by the American
Eskimo Dogs Organization of Vancouver Rescues, please fill out
the Adoption
Application form found by clicking here.
Your name will be added to our mailing list and when an
Eskie becomes available for adoption, you will be notified
via email. If you respond to our email, we will phone
you and then meet with you in person to screen you for
adoption. Our objective is to find the most suitable forever
home for the rescued Eskie.
PLEASE NOTE:
Eskies are a rare breed. On
average we will rescue about 10 dogs a year. We
appreciate your interest in adopting a rescue, however, you
may be waiting for a few months for an adoption. If
you want to get an Eskie now, we recommend you
contact the individual breeders
listed on our breeders page.
Often breeders will also know of Eskie rescues available for
adoption.

Unfortunately, we have seen an increasing number of American
Eskimo dogs appear at BC branches of the SPCA notably
at the Vancouver, Surrey and Coquitlam SPCA's. Hardly a month doesn't go by without an Eskie being put up
for adoption at one of the SPCA's. People move, get divorced and strays are found. The SPCA dog adoption fee
is $299 and there is an application form to fill out. BC branches have a no-kill policy unlike many American
branches.
You can find out if an Eskie might be available at one of the
SPCA's by
calling the branches. Officials from the SPCA's say that the list of available dogs for adoption on their site
is not always up-to-date so it's best to call to check. |
