Saints Sled Dog Rescue was created back in 2013 when a little girl Athena, the three legged Siberian Husky couldn't find a rescue placement due to needing medical treatment. Foster Mum, Heather Saville took her into her care raising £800 in just a few short hours covering costs of her leg amputation and after care!!

From that moment Heather KNEW she had to do something different and she founded SSDR - who rescue sled dog breeds NO MATTER WHAT!

We are a registered, nationwide charity run by experienced staff who aim to help as many unwanted, neglected or stray Siberian Huskies and Alaskan Malamutes through the process of fostering, rehabilitating and re-homing, or simply by supporting their owners with help and advice. The team work alongside other rescue organisations, dog pounds and dog wardens to help ensure that all sled dogs are re-homed in the BEST possible environment which suits each dogs needs.

At present, many of these dogs have been purchased or bred by people who have little understanding of the needs or these wonderful breeds. Whilst some of the dogs who come into our care do so for genuine reasons, the majority come from puppy farms, back yard breeders and uninformed owners who lack knowledge BEFORE purchasing on of these dogs. Through our educational visits and working demonstrations we hope to improve the future for these dogs, whilst we try to help the ones who need us now through re-homing and one-to-one support.

As well as rescuing sled dogs in the UK, our goal is to continually educate novice owners, breed admirers, supporters and the general public in the UK to help build a better understanding of these incredible breeds. We do this through our social media platforms, our website, through educational visits and one-to-one - including participating in public working and handling demonstrations.

At Saints Sled Dog Rescue, we pride ourselves in ALWAYS putting a dogs life first ensuring we never turn a dog away and giving ALL dogs a chance at a new life regardless of their age, health or behavioural difficulties. We offer every dog rescue backup for life which means they can come back to us any time in the future and 24-hour support for sled dog owners, fosterers and adopters.

All dogs that come into SSDR are neutered, vaccinated, assessed and medically cleared BEFORE leaving for their forever homes. We do take in dogs with special behavioural needs which means that we have to ensure that all homes are assessed correctly to match a home to the DOGS needs.

We are a non profit foster based rescue. Our mission is to rescue dogs from Europe, UK and China. What started as a husband and wife team, has now grown to over 22 volunteers from fundraisers, foster carers to flight buddies.

10 years ago whilst holidaying in Turkey my wife, a avid dog lover, found a small dog now known as Koya roaming the streets. My wife being who she is, and having 5 dogs of her own, couldn't just walk by. So the rest of our stay was spent getting a temporary home for Koya and finding out how we could get her back to the UK.

Our holidays since that day have been based around countries with over populated dogs and dogs living on the streets. We have rescued hundreds of dogs over the past 10 years working with shelters in Turkey, Spain, Bulgaria, Romania, Macedonia, UK and now China.

Whilst in china on a recent business trip, we came across the horrific meat trade and we couldn't just stand by and not help in some way. The living conditions of these dogs are cramped and squalid, some of the worst we have ever seen. We then witnessed the real horror when we witnessed a dealer stop outside a meat market where these dogs were sold to the highest
bidder.

We came back to the UK and started Great Bulls of China, using family and friends and volunteers that were already in place from previous rescues. With your help we can keep going!
