So Much Has Been Happening
About Samoyed
Rescue
By Jim Becklund
Samoyed rescue is
about picking up the
pieces of dogs that are
forgotten, abandoned,
abused, neglected.
Rescue is complex as
each dog has special
needs from veterinary
care to socialization
skills.
Preparing Samoyeds for
adoption takes time and
money and more
importantly intentional
assessment, planning
and training.
Rescue work gets best
results when rescue
teams work together
with common purpose,
expectations and
standards.
Working together means
our Samoyeds will get
the best possible
support and care.

First, I want to send a great big hello to
all of you breed and rescue supporters
out there. This is a catch up issue and
for sure there has been a great deal of
things going on in the rescue community
and our affiliates. As you have seen in
our Spring/Summer 2012 issue the number of Samoyeds in rescue have been
pretty steady with the past years. The
good news is, all rescues have been
working hard at properly placing these
dogs as quickly as they can. I really am
impressed with how hard all of rescue
has been working.
So many things in this issue. In case I
haven't mentioned it before; Western
Canada Samoyed Club Rescue has
joined our affiliates. We are pleased to
have a north of the border group with us.
Also, I'm very proud to announce that
Samoyed Rescue of Texas (SRT) is now
part of our affiliates. They are a fairly
new group, but with lots of experience
doing rescue. I want to send a great big
WELCOME to SRT and I know they will
be a valuable asset to rescue. Look for
their introductory article inside. You may
also check them out on Facebook.
Speaking of Facebook; also a reminder that National Samoyed Rescue
has a Facebook page with friends from
all over. Come and check us out and see
the latest news and views from the rescue world.
I want to remind you of some fundraisers we are still running to benefit Samoyeds in need. We still have plenty of limited edition (set of four) prints graciously
donated by Annie Reid. These are stunning prints and several of them have
been award winning. Annie is a super
person and we thank her very much for
all the effort she has put forth for rescue.
There are still plenty of rescue pins available (see ad inside this issue) at $3.00
for rescues and $7.00 for individuals.
This is a great way to say “I Support
Rescue.” We also have plenty of leash
holders available. They come with a
Samoyed figure (hand painted white or
plain black) or a Paw Print design. You
will find the order form within these
pages. This is a great way to store your
leashes by the door and they are proudly
made in the USA.
The biggest news is NSR is getting
ready to have an eBay auction coming at
the end of October. This is very special
to me because it helps the Sussie Memorial Fund. (See article page 4) Sussie
was a foster dog I cared for many years
ago. She was a special little girl who
lived every day to the fullest and found
happiness in everything. Unfortunately
her sweet life was cut short because of

Become a Foster Family Today!
The primary purpose of a rescue organization is to give an animal a chance for a life.
Many of these animals become a part of the system through no fault of their own.
Some are by products of over breeding, some are strays and others are given up by
their families because they can no longer care for them. These animals have so
much to give and without the support of rescue organizations and foster families,
many of these dogs will not be given that opportunity. Please won’t you help? Become a foster family today. Contact any of our NSR rescue groups to give a Sammie hope.

My Passion for Rescue
Steven Baker, Samoyed Rescue of Texas
After moving into our first house in 1993, the decision to get our first puppy came naturally. I spent
months reading up on breed characteristics in order to
get the right fit for our household. Everything pointed
to a Samoyed, and after finding a breeder and purchasing our first puppy, Myatuk, we were hooked!
After 12 glorious years with our best friend, we
were grief stricken with his loss. We immediately began to make phone calls to inquire about obtaining
another puppy. Through this process, we were introduced to a local Samoyed Rescue and Samoyed
Breed Club who introduced us to an awesome
breeder (Galaxy Samoyeds in Abilene, Texas), who
offered a wealth of information regarding the breed in
the areas of health & training. We then became involved with the Breed Club which supported the Rescue Group by means of fundraising and awareness
events. This was my first exposure to rescue.
When our 2nd puppy, Naku
was 2 years old, we decided it
was time for him to have a
buddy. We adopted Kiska
who was thought to be 1 year
old from our local Samoyed
Rescue Group.
Not long after we adopted
Kiska, I was laid off work and
Above: Kiska La Rosa. had a lot of time on my

hands. I started offering assistance to the Rescue Group
in the form of transport, grooming, shelter visits, home
checks and scouting various sources for Samoyeds in
need of help. This is when I found Cheyenne She
was picked up in Houston with a severe case of sarcoptic mange, several intestinal parasites, and very
close to death. Nobody knew what she was because
she had very little fur
(her initial nick names
were “Fluffy” & “The
Pink Armadillo” ….
because of her lack of
fur). But the fur on her
head and neck was
white, so they classified her as a Samoyed
mix.
Through a desire
and passion to help
Page 8
save Cheyenne, I started a fundraising campaign to
raise money for her medical treatment and isolation
boarding. I also promoted her story with other breed
clubs in search for a perfect fur-ever home. This is
how I came involved with Texas Alaskan Malamute
Rescue. Soon afterwards, TAMR did a Courtesy Posting of Cheyenne on their website. They had a rescue
named Collin posted on their website that looked exactly like Cheyenne! And after comparing characteristics, it is now believed that Cheyenne is part Samoyed and part Malamute (but don’t tell her that – she
thinks she is 100% Samoyed). When the time came
for Cheyenne to be released from isolation she came
to our house for fostering. She was slow to take to
our other 2 Samoyeds but once she got used to them,
they became fast friends. We were then initiated into
the “failed foster club”!
A few months after Cheyenne came into our home,
I had a severe knee injury that led
to surgery. The physical to clear
me for surgery revealed lung cancer. The year of 2010 was quite
challenging, but also a blessing.
My knee healed and I fought and
won the battle against cancer. As
many of you know (or know someone who has been through it),
cancer is a life changing event.
Your way of thinking changes and
new goals are set. During this
year, I found myself relating to
very hard cases of rescue dogs
Cheyenne after
and wanting more than anything for being in rescue!
them to receive a chance at life. I
wanted to battle the fight right alongside with them!
Although I had developed some great friends and
gained much experience with the local Samoyed Rescue Group, I decided to break away and form my own
rescue group, Samoyed Rescue of Texas. When you
are a volunteer for another rescue group, you are limited to which dogs you can help and must respect the
wishes of the rescues officers. I had a strong passion
to help the dogs nobody else wanted and implement
my own ideas into a rescue group. Thus, Samoyed
Rescue of Texas was launched.
Since the formation of Samoyed Rescue of Texas 2
years ago, I have been able to help numerous Samo(Continued on page 9)

yeds. The most challenging
case was Lucky (pictured right
in new home) who was pulled
from Lufkin, TX. This special
boy had no tongue, was severely malnourished, and had
a severe gum infection. Despite this limitation, Lucky was
very happy and so hungry for
human affection. He touched
our hearts to the core. After
months of fundraising and
searching for a forever home
with his handicap, and with the help of groups such as National Samoyed Rescue, Houston Eskie Rescue, and Texas Alaskan Malamute
Rescue, Lucky was adopted by an extremely loving mom, Patti who
lives in Ontario, Canada where the temperature is cooler, which helps
with his disability. Lucky recently had to have all of his remaining teeth
removed, and human nature is to feel sorry for Lucky……but if you saw
that huge Sammy Smile of his STILL shining through, you would realize
he never missed a beat. In short, Lucky doesn’t care about his tongue
or teeth; he has the perfect Mom, and the perfect pack……that’s what
matters to Lucky. I’ve never seen a happier Sammy. And that’s the
rewarding part of rescue; it’s what keeps us going.
I would encourage anyone who has a passion for dogs to become
involved with a rescue group or start your own group. The number of
local, state wide and national Rescue Friends I have met in the last two
years is incredible. There is always an endless supply of irresponsible
dog owners in the world. Some, who abuse, mistreat, abandon, or just
won’t honor the lifelong commitment of caring for a dog. There
are others who do not spay/
neuter their dogs, which continually add to the numbers of
homeless dogs. .
There are many ways to help.
Many have heard the famous
quote attributed to Edmond
Burke in the 18th century, “The only thing
necessary for the triumph of evil
is for good men to do nothing”.

If for any reason you want to contact the National Samoyed Rescue Board you may do so by email to:
nsrboard@samoyedrescue.org.
If you know of a Samoyed in need contact info@samoyedrescue.org. A staff of corresponding secretaries working
on a two month rotation will transfer your concerns to the closest affiliated Rescue.
Remember that each and everyone of us are volunteering our “free” time to help the Samoyeds
so please bear with us. We will get back to you as soon as we are able.
