Service areas:

Utah and its surrounding states

Arctic Breeds Rescue has been rescuing animals in Utah and the surrounding states for over 20 years. We specialize in rescuing Siberian Huskies, Alaskan Huskies and Alaskan Malamutes. Many of the dogs we take into rescue are deemed "unadoptable" by shelters or local government and have no other options other than to come to a breed specific rescue who can find them a home where they can be set up to succeed. The purpose of the Organization shall be: To rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome arctic breed dogs in need, including but not limited to breeds such as Siberian Huskies, Alaskan Malamutes, Samoyeds and mixed breeds of the aforementioned. To provide basic medical care, spaying/neutering, and vaccinations to rescued dogs. To educate the public about responsible dog ownership, including breed-specific needs, training, and the importance of spaying/neutering. To positively impact the community through community and/or youth outreach by sharing the inspiring stories of rescued canines.

Mission and Vision

Arctic Rescue is dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming arctic breed dogs in need. Our mission is to provide a safe haven for these magnificent and often misunderstood breeds, such as Siberian Huskies, Alaskan Malamutes, Samoyeds, and mixed breeds of the aforementioned.

Adoption Policy

1) We are a Utah-based rescue. While we do adopt out of state, we only adopt to states near Utah, and all potential adopters must come to Utah and meet the dogs. We don't transport dogs.2) Our adoption process typically takes anywhere from a few days to two weeks. We process applications in the order they are received. If several applications come in for a single dog, we will try to let applicants know where they are at in the process.‚3) We want to make sure that your home is the perfect fit for one of our dogs and vice versa. Because of the special breeds we work with, we require a home inspection prior to adoption. We want to make sure all members of the family to be happy and well matched with each-other.4) We ask for a minimum adoption donation of $250 for adult dogs (altered dogs over 5 months of age) and $350 for puppies (younger than 5 months and unaltered). 5) If the dog you are applying for is not on our available dogs page, we do NOT have that dog.

"I've fostered for Arctic Rescue 5 times and loved each and every dog. The work that Arctic Rescue does is so important because it seems people don't know what they are getting into when they first adopt an Arctic breed. Arctic Rescue works hard to educate people on the breeds and encourage working with these dogs through any difficulties that they are facing so that the true spirit of the animals can be seen."

"Arctic rescue does a great job of getting huskies out of shelters. Especially ones that are not doing well. For such a smart, high energy breed it is so sad to see them caged in a kennel for hours on end. Their team of amazing fosters work together to help these wonderful dogs find good homes!"

"The work they do to help these difficult to place Arctic breeds is amazing. They have also built a wonderful community!"

"I adopted my sweet husky mix Luna from Arctic rescue in 2020 and I am so grateful to them. They have my sweet girl a chance to live a happy life. Luna was found in California in bad condition with wounds & burns, she was stabilized there and then transferred to Arctic Rescue here in Utah to continue to heal. After her recovery and some time in a foster home, we adopted her. She continued to heal and slowly come out of her shell, trust us and thrive with us! They care so much for these dogs. It’s so important to find the right homes & families for these amazing breeds and they are dedicated to doing so!"

"AR is a small rescue run by volunteers who are dedicated to save lives. They work tirelessly to make sure homeless pups can have a chance to a better life."

"Being involved with Arctic Rescue over the past 5 years I have seen firsthand the passion of everyone involved. It is an organization where dogs become members, not just transient animals, for better or for worse, for their lifetimes. No matter how long it has been, no matter the circumstance, Arctic rescue stands by their dogs and always welcomes them back with open arms and works to find them the best homes possible. Huskies are not for the week, and the rescue does its best to educate potential adopters and the public alike about the best (and most annoying) parts of the breed. It isn’t just about finding shelter dogs homes, but finding homes where they will be fulfilled and loved for the rest of their lives."

"Able to meet dogs during a hike, helps to get to know the dog a lot better, they come out to your house to make sure dogs cannot escape and gives advice on what to do so they don’t, they keep giving advice if your having issues with your dog after as well. They post walks/hikes that are coming up to join just to get your dog out and be active. Teach you all kinds of things like how to have your dogs pull you on your bike, scooter or sled Love what they do and interact with the public/community"

My Dog Is Food Aggressive With Other Dogs: What To Do
Does your dog ever growl when you walk by their food dish? Maybe they get possessive of treats, carrying them far away and giving you side-eye when you start to approach — or snarling at your other pets or children if they get too close.
Scent Training for Dogs: A Beginner's Guide
As almost every dog owner is aware, the nose of a dog is an amazing thing. Just as they can pick up sounds we can’t hear, their sense of smell and ability to pick up scents is well beyond ours. In fact, dogs have 40 times the number of olfactory receptors as humans.
Service Dog Training Costs: DIY vs. Pro
More than 80 million Americans rely on their service dogs to help them navigate the world. Task-trained assistance animals perform a huge range of life-changing—in many cases, life-saving—services: These dogs act as eyes for visually impaired handlers, provide mobility support, alert to seizures and blood sugar crashes, interrupt anxiety attacks, remind their people to take medications, and so much more.
What is and How to Handle Potty Training Regression
You thought your dog was house trained. Your home was clean from puddles of pee, those dreaded middle-of-the-night bathroom breaks were behind you, and you loved every minute of dog ownership… until your four-legged best friend started using the bathroom inside again. What’s going on?
Coprophagia: Why Does Your Dog Eat Poop?
Ah, poop. We humans think it’s disgusting… but many of our dogs seem to love the stuff. If you’re wondering why your canine companion tries to eat feces (either their own or that of other animals) you’re not alone!

Dog reactivity guides

Rottweiler Aggression: Truth vs. Myth
Many dogs have gotten a bad reputation over the years for being "dangerous breeds." Rottweilers are among them. Like pit bulls and other large, blocky-headed types of dogs, these powerful and beautiful animals are often assumed to be aggressive.
What Is a Reactive Dog? A Guide to Understanding Reactivity
So: Your dog is reactive. They’ll see another dog, person, or other stimulus in the environment (cars, bikes, skateboards, and other fast-moving objects are also common triggers) while out on a walk and suddenly go crazy at the end of their leash. The barking, lunging, and growling not only feels embarrassing for you — it’s clear that your pup isn’t having a great time either.
How to Socialize a Reactive Dog: A Step-by-Step Guide
Does your dog display reactivity to other pets or people? Maybe they’re a new rescue pup and are still settling into your home. Or they were sick growing up, so you missed their critical socialization period. Possibly they’ve had a bad experience after being raised as a normal puppy.
