Question
Where do I go to get a lab/husky mix? i was hoping there was some place close to Illinois to get one.

Answer
Very good for you.  I would start by checking with rescues of both breeds.  Many of them have mixes of their breed too.  One of the best sources for dogs with a predictable personality is the rescue dogs.  These are dogs that lost their home, but were taken into a foster home to be retrained as necessary and placed in the right home for them.  You may find a rescue near you starting at http://www.akc.org/breeds/rescue.cfm  The rescues charge a fee to help cover their expenses, but is much less than the price of a puppy plus all its medical expenses the first year.  If you don't find a mix at any of the rescues, I am sure you will at www.petfinders.org.

It is so nice to have a question from somebody wanting to be part of the solution.  There are so many wanting help to add to the problem.  Be sure and come back for any help you need once you have the dog.
