My journey into dog ownership started when Brian Gillette decided we needed a furry friend.
I, Toni Daniels, was clueless about dogs and wasn't exactly thrilled, but my daughter Brittany found some adorable pups on Craigslist, because where else do you find puppies? After three failed meetups, I showed up late to the fourth, still on the fence. But those puppies stole my heart, and we brought home Bandit.
Six months later, we got Victoria, who was separated from her mom way too early.
Then, on July 4, 2017, we rescued Princess, a puppy mill survivor, and boom, 3 Husketeers Rescue was born, named after our fabulous trio of huskies who now help other rescue dogs adjust to their new pack life.
THE RESCUERS
Bandit - AKA "The Guardian"
Bandit was the start of husky rescue and husky adoption for them. They dubbed Bandit "The Guardian" because he is the observant one, the one to notify, when someone is around. He is the welcoming committee to any & all people that grace their doorstep. Bandit is the fun & playful one. He brings the rescues out of their shell & lets them know it's ok to be a loving happy member of the family. Bandit lets them know that they are protected, loved & that everything is going to be better, from now on.
Victoria - AKA "The Queen"
Victoria is the Queen of the pack. She is the independent one, the pack leader. Victoria is one that lets the rescues know they can be goofy & strong at the same time. She will let you know what boundaries can & cannot be crossed, BUT … in a motherly sort of way. Victoria is the one who tells it like it is & doesn’t let you forget! Inside that beautiful soul is the mother that will not let you get away with anything! Unless, she approves it!
Princess - AKA "The Mother Hen"
Princess is the Mother Hen. She is a very gentle, loving & trustworthy mother. Princess is the go with the flow fur baby that just happened to be their first foster/husky rescue ever. She is a true diamond in the rough. She instantly completed their pack, which is now known as; "3 Husketeers". Princess helps the rescues transition into family life. If "the kids" act up, she is the one that scolds them by putting them in their place. Princess is the key component in getting these babies used to love & kindness, with a little bit of structure & respect thrown in, for good measure.
