Where To Adopt a Norwegian Elkhound

We would like you to consider the possibility of adopting a dog from our breed rescue effort. Norwegian Elkhound Rescue is our response to the need for homes for Norwegian Elkhounds. Unfortunately, there are always dogs of EVERY breed available and looking for homes. This happens for many reasons -- some the "fault" of the dog; more often than not, the "fault" of the owner. Some people react negatively to the idea of rescue. The response we hear too often, "We don't want somebody else's problem." In many cases, someone else's "problem" can bring joy into your life. Rescue dogs are not free. However, they are usually less expensive that a puppy. Generally, they're also available at more frequent intervals than puppies. Most rescue organizations only seek reimbursement of medical and/or maintenance expenses incurred during the care of a rescue dog or a donation to their rescue fund. Most rescue dogs are examined by a veterinarian, neutered or spayed as needed, and have received any necessary immunizations. Every effort will be made to make a satisfactory match between dog and owner.

Consider the intensive lifestyle, expense, and time involved in raising and training a young puppy. If you feel that an older dog...

...is something you'd consider, then maybe adopting a Norwegian Elkhound is for you.

If you'd like more information on RESCUE, please contact one of the regional Rescue Coordinators listed below. They will be more than happy to answer any questions you may have.
