Dozens of huskies surrendered to Colorado animal shelters
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) Four animal shelters along the Front Range came to the aid of an overwhelmed breeder who had more Siberian Huskies than they knew what to do with.
Fifty huskies were surrendered in total, according to the Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region, and they were split up among the four shelters to be assessed and socialized before they can be put up for adoption.
HSPPR got 14 of the huskies, with five of them going to the Pueblo shelter and nine of them going to the Colorado Springs shelter. The rest of them are being taken care of by the Dumb Friends League, the Humane Society of Boulder Valley, and the Larimer Humane Society.

COLORADO SPRINGS â A popular program from the Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region is back on the road in 2021.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Wellness Waggin , a mobile veterinary clinic, had to stop its services in March 2020. The Wellness Waggin is in Colorado Springs on Wednesdays and Thursdays while it is in Pueblo on Saturdays. We like to hit these desert areas where no vet clinics kinda are. And, then keeping these pets vaccinated and healthy helps lower them from coming into the humane society with medical complications, said Savannah Moore of the HSPPR.
