Meet the Olivettes - Kala
Born on September 19, the Olivettes are a very special group of puppies with an incredible beginning. Their mom, Olive, came to us pregnant and out of time in a shelter. We got her to safety and gave her a soft, quiet place to deliver her babies — her first chance at real security. These pups were born into safety, love, and stability, and we intend to make sure their futures reflect that same promise.
The Olivettes will be ready for adoption on November 15, and we’d like to have adopters confirmed for all of them. They are healthy, social, vocal, and full of Husky energy — everything you’d expect from a litter raised with confidence and care.
Adoption Requirements
To ensure these pups continue to thrive, we have specific requirements for their adoptive homes:
- Pick‑Up Only:
Adopters must plan to pick up their puppy from Virginia Beach, VA or Severn, MD (foster home or rescue).
We will not transport puppies at this age.
- Socialization Needs:
These pups must have another young large breed dog in the home. The three puppies remaining require ongoing socialization. We will not place them in a home where there are only senior dogs - that’s not fair to your senior dog.
- Spay/Neuter Requirement:
All puppies must be spayed/neutered by 6 months old. There are no exceptions to this, licensing requires it.
- We provide a spay/neuter appointment with our vet in Maryland.
- Out‑of‑state adopters may use their own vet, but we cover costs only up to what our vet charges. Any difference is the adopter’s responsibility.
- Activity Level:
These are active, high-energy dogs who need an active lifestyle. Prior experience with working breeds is required, and they are not suited to sedentary homes. .
- Supervision Needs:
At adoption age, they can only be left unsupervised for 2‑hour intervals.
If you work full days outside the home, these pups are not an appropriate match.
- Cats:
We have no way of knowing if they will be cat‑friendly.
If you have cats, you must have a safe, solid separation plan in case prey drive develops. We will ask you about this — we do not want to see a dog returned for normal Husky instincts.
- Noise Considerations:
This is a vocal litter. Please be mindful of your neighbors if you live in a multi‑family dwelling.
- Fenced Yard Priority:
We will be prioritizing homes with fenced yards for safety and appropriate exercise.
~~Husky Education And Rescue Team is a foster based rescue. Our dogs are in our foster homes all up and down the east coast. We do not have a facility in which you can visit. We find this a huge benefit because we learn our dogs and are able to educate our adopters on what it’s like to have them live in your home. Part of our process, once pre-approved, is to speak with the foster for the dog you’re interested in. If you’re still interested in adopting from our rescue the first step is to complete our adoption application online at www.huskyrescueteam.org/apply
