The dogs we foster come from many places. Some are turned in by their owners who can no longer care for them. Other dogs are found as stray dogs, or for one reason or another they wind up in dog shelters. There are far too many dogs without homes in the U.S. and the majority of them have to be put to sleep due to overcrowded conditions in shelters. We work to save as many American Eskimo dogs that we can by rescuing them. We then foster the dogs in the volunteer’s homes, provide veterinary care, and put a profile for the dog on our website. We do not "sell" dogs. We find homes for dogs and adopt the dog to you. This means that you cannot just walk off the street and buy a dog from us. Learn more about the adoption process.
Our adoption process might seem lengthy, but please remember that many of our dogs have already been put through a lot of stress. Our goal is to make this process are stress-free as possible for our Eskies. Complete and submit an Adoption Application. Please note: you must be 21 years of age or older to submit an application. ERU will review your Adoption Application and contact your veterinarian as a reference. (If you do not have a vet because this is your first pet, please know that this will NOT prevent you from being able to adopt one of our dogs). Next, we will contact you for a short interview and schedule a home visit. We want to see where your Eskie will live, play, and exercise. Before we release the dog to its new "furever family" you will need to sign an adoption agreement. This is a legally binding contract between you and ERU that confirms you are aware of the restrictions that ERU places on the disposition of the dog you adopt and the rights to that dog that are reserved by ERU. We strongly recommend that you review the Adoption Agreement before proceeding with the application process.
