The Arctic Dog Rescue and Training Center (ADRTC) is a nonprofit, tax-exempt organization dedicated to matching wonderful dogs with loving homes. Our organization is entirely run by volunteers who are passionate about the welfare of arctic dog breeds.
Our History
ADRTC began operations in New Mexico in early 2007. Before that, we were known as the Central Coast Northern Dog Rescue (CCNDR) in California.
- Founded in June 1998 as a chapter of the Siberian Husky Rescue and Referral of California.
- In October 2000, CCNDR became an independent nonprofit organization in California.
- CCNDR facilitated one adoption per week until it ceased operations in 2006.
- Following a move to Albuquerque, NM, ADRTC was established to continue this mission.
Our Rescue Process
ADRTC rescues dogs from local animal shelters, control facilities, and private owners. Each dog is carefully evaluated in foster homes, spayed/neutered, and receives necessary vaccinations before being placed for adoption.
Breeds We Accept
Our primary focus is on arctic dog breeds, including:
- Siberian Huskies
- American Eskimo Dogs
- Samoyeds
- Malamute mixes
- Keeshonds and Elkhounds
- Rare breeds like Karelian Bear Dogs and Siberian Laikas
Adoption Information
We take special care to match dogs with the right families. Adoption fees range from $175 for older dogs to $225 for younger and outstanding dogs. Most of our available dogs are between 1 and 3 years old. Our services include:
- Obedience and leash training

- A 14-day return guarantee if the adoption doesn’t work out
