THE MISSION

Dog Rescue Auktsjaur the Mission

Our dogs – our responsibility

There are many dogs that are put down due to illness, age, behavioral problems or lack of time.

Unfortunately, a dog does not have the same right to life as we humans – we decide whether an animal is allowed to live or not.

For us, dogs are part of the family – and every family member deserves respect, care, and a life of dignity. That's why we offer a permanent home to precisely those dogs who otherwise wouldn't have a chance.

 

Who lives with us

All our dogs come from animal shelters, from abroad, or are second- or third-hand. Each dog is accepted as they are.

With a lot of time, patience and commitment, we help them to lead as "normal" and fulfilling a life as possible.

 

Keeping & Care

Currently, all dogs live in our house – in close family contact and with individual care.

 

In the future, we are planning an additional facility specifically for Nordic dogs. Construction is scheduled to begin in summer/autumn 2025. There, they will be housed in stable groups of two in spacious outdoor kennels. Individual kennels are also planned if needed.

 

Each of these kennels will have a minimum area of 36 m² and will be equipped with insulated kennels. Additionally, there will be a large, escape-proof run with a 2-meter-high fence where the dogs can move freely.

 

Once the facility is complete, we would like to offer Nordic dogs, who have special requirements in terms of care and climate, a suitable home – with individual care, species-appropriate activities and plenty of space to develop.

Movement & utilization

Our dogs are individually trained according to their needs, age and health status – with lots of joy and without being overtaxed.

For our pet dogs (currently on site)

Our current dogs live in the house and receive plenty of time, closeness, and attention every day. Their program consists of:

  • Walks in nature

  • Species-appropriate activities such as nose work, small exercises or games

Each dog is supported in a way that suits its character and history – lovingly, structured and with the aim of strengthening trust and joy in life.

For Nordic dogs (planned from 2025)

Once the new facility is completed and Nordic dogs are living with us, their daily program will include:

  • Snowshoe tours

  • Pulling on the bike

  • And in winter: pulling the sleigh

These activities correspond to the natural urge for movement and the joy of work of Nordic breeds.
