Northern CA Sled Dog Rescue (NORSLED) is a 501(c)(3) non profit all volunteer organization dedicated to rescuing, fostering and finding homes for unwanted, abandoned and abused Northern breed dogs, including Siberian Huskies, Malamutes, Samoyeds, American Eskimos and mixes of same. We work throughout Northern California and parts of Nevada. We often provide extensive medical care as well. Donations to NorSled are tax deductible. Please click the PayPal icon to support NorSled.
Many thanks to all of the rescue groups that came before NorSled – including SHRR, MUSH, BASH, Husky Camp, and ARF – several of whom helped NorSled get started, and have continued to work with NorSled since. Working together, we can save more dogs.
