Program accomplishments

  • Helping to Rehome racing touring or recreational mushing sled dog new homes when their formal running days are done. We increase the number of dogs we help each year. We also facilitate transportation for mushers who send their dogs outside of Alaska and also advertise for mushers who choose to adopt direct from their kennels rather than have us place in foster homes. Each dog we place through our fostering receives a basic health exam spay or neutering and applicable vaccinations.
    Expenses $40,000 · grants $50,000
  • Onsite Vet Clinic: We purchased a small building and had a donor pay to finish the interior plus other grants for equipment to host a visiting veterinarian to perform spay and neuter procedures for the previous years pups that were adopted and for incoming retiring sled dogs that were not already altered.
    Expenses $37,000 · grants $37,000
  • This past year we took in 14 litters of puppies from Alaska Native Villages that were flown in to Anchorage. This amounted to more than 100 puppies and some with moms still nursing to be spayed and rehomed or returned back to their owners in the villages. Each litter of puppies was fostered here on site or at mushing tour kennels where the puppies would be handled by tourists and be cared for daily until old enough to be adopted. This provides wonderful socialization and growth opportunities for the puppies who end up being confident happy and more easy to adapt to their new adoptive families meaning we have less returns after adoption.
