Prospective Owner Questionaire

Shiver Siberians
ADOPTION QUESTIONNAIRE

Thank you for considering one of my country raised Huskies.

You can help me to get to know you by filling out and returning my prospective owner’s Questionnaire. This is an important part in adopting a Husky. It is important to me that you get the puppy you want as well as one that will fit into your loving family... Please realize that not all puppies will be a good fit for each prospective buyer. I ask that you respect my efforts in placing only the puppy that fits your family based on my observations and knowledge.

The Adoption Questionnaire starts just below this message. Make entries and Click on "Send Questionnaire" at the bottom.

Sincerely,

Karen Street, Top Dog

Shiver Siberians
