PROGRAM
Sheryl Ann Stegman from H2M2 (Husky Huddle and Malamute Mingle) Wisconsin visited Lake Mills Rotary today. H2M2 was founded in 2008 and now has groups in 44 states and 4 countries. They share a passion and love for huskies and malamutes. They started networking with shelters, re-homing and adoptions in 2016. These breeds are very active and love to be outside.
You can use this group to 1) Arrange play dates 2) Ask for advice from other Husky, Malamute and Northern Breed owners 3) Share information on lost and found pets 4) Help in re-homing and rescue of these magnificent breeds. They have a tremendous love for our Northern Breeds and it BEARs all things: Breed Education, Awareness, and Rescue!
H2M2 also helps with transporting 'pup' for adoption. Most "pups" come from Texas. Transport can be as many as 40 pups at a time. H2M2 has re-homed 21 pups to forever homes this year. They pair people up with dogs that meet their lifestyle.
H2M2 also does many meet & greet events to spread awareness about the breeds.
