FYI: Please note that for us, the most important part of an adoption is finding the right dog for the right person but we very much hope that people consider first, either our oldies or those who would be put down on other farms for medical reasons. These dogs would make strong companion pets and would, I believe, have a better life if they could retire to a sofa.
All of the dogs that we consider to be suitable for adoption have spent time indoors and are either completely or nearly 100% house trained. All are open and friendly towards people except dogs in the 'shy' section who have been rescued.
Click on the name of the dog you are interested in, to find out more detailed information about them. The dogs are listed in priority adoption order within each category.
Alternatively, take a picture of our QR code and get our 'adoption-ready' app which gives a lot more information about the dogs. Please note, however, that we really do have a 'top priority' list that we are trying to find homes for, first.
Please send all adoption enquiries to [email protected].
READY FOR A SOFA
The dogs listed here have worked hard all of their lives and deserve a bit more constant pampering than we can give them in their retirement.

It is pretty easy for anyone living in Scandinavia to adopt one of our dogs and if you are looking for a certain type of dog (one that can run with you or one that is good with kids, etc), please do get in touch. We have other dogs than those shown here, that are just not in as much need of a new home as the ones shown here, but which might be perfect for you. Even if they haven't made it to the 'top priority list, if we find the perfect match for you, we would rather that they go to the ideal home than that they stay running, here, if they are not that great as working sled dogs or if they are already on a reduced running plan.
For those living overseas, it can be quite complicated, expensive and time-consuming to sort out the inoculations and paperwork needed to get the dog ready to travel. However, it is not totally impossible and, as you can ready on the lucky dogs page, we have dogs who have moved as far away as Colorado and New York as well as quite a few who have travelled to the UK or Central Europe.
More information about how to travel through Scandinavia into other European Countries overland or further afield, eg using a pet-transfer company, can be found here.
Bran (October 31st 2010)
Bran was adopted in August 2020
Bran ran in lead in during his first seasons with great success - especially when paired with his best friend at the farm. Kiri-Kiri was the more reliable leader of the two and when separeted Bran could become less motivated to listen to the commands of the guides and more interested in exploring the routes he wanted to take during the safaris. Therefore Bran often went from leader to team dog to recharge his motivation! As he grew older he didn't enjoy running so much anymore which led to a retirement with Mimosa in Southern-Finland.

Anton (May 1st 2012)
I followed Bolle to Hetta Huskies from Hans Peter Harangan's place, one season after Bolle, and even though we look totally different, we make a great wheel pair. I'm the only purebred Siberian Husky at Hetta Huskies.
Georgie (June 21st 2019)
Georgie came to us as a rescue from Helsinki. Originally a pup from Estonia his beauty had captured his owners, as per so many siberians before him. However, as his puppy boisterous grew, their delight in him decreased so they desperately tried to find another solution and he came to us via a Helsinki airport pick-up.
Grizzly (July 27th 2012)
Grizzly and Laura joined Hetta Huskies in June 2018 from Nordic Husky Tours AB. Grizzly is sometimes a little grumpy (but hopefully maneagable) with other females, a command leader and has good feet.
