Welcome to Northern California Sled Dog Rescue (NorSled)!

We Rescue, rehabilitate, foster and find homes for unwanted, abandoned and abused Northern breed dogs: Siberian Huskies, Alaskan Malamutes, Samoyeds, and mixes of these breeds.

If you are new to the breed please do your research first as they are not like other breeds and are not for everyone! Click on the tabs above to find out more about the breed, adoption process, available dogs or to donate. Check out our store, we have a couple of new books for kids. They will make the perfect gift.

As we have no facility, our dogs are either in foster homes all over the Bay area and beyond, a boarding kennel in Concord or with trainers we use in Pleasant Hill. We are always in need of foster homes. If you are interested, please complete a membership and a foster form found under the forms tab.

PERSONALITY OF THE WEEK - MEET MARA

Mara aka Miss Personality is very high energy especially in the mornings. She is a very high energy dog. She is great on commands like: sit, down, rollover and willing to learn new tricks. Mara would do great with someone who like to hike or go on long walks. She has different personalities and requires a confident owner, otherwise things can change very quickly. Mara will not tolerate being pushed around, but she is a sweet loving girl with a big personality. She is great on leash walking. Mara requires a knowledgeable and confident husky owner. Do not recommend a house with kids.
