Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Maroney is a 12.5 year old Alaskan Husky male. He has dedicated many years of his life as an awesome sled dog. So awesome that he has even ran half of the 1,150 mile Iditarod race! Maroney would be best as the only four legged friend in the house, but he is gentle and would do ok around gentle children.
If you are looking for a dog that is probably cooler than you, please take Maroney home. He has stories for days that he would gladly share with you over treats and long walks.
Our adoption fee is $250 and includes: a health certificate, proof of clear fecal test, microchip, updated bordetella, DHLPP and rabies vaccines, spay/neuter surgery if necessary, Ruffwear harness and TAGG pet tracking device (for first three months).
***Adoption Special: Say hello to the Old Man Club!****
Make this old timer your next best friend and receive a reduced adoption fee of $150 (vs. $250). *Valid until March 31st, 2015.
Things To Consider Before You Adopt
Our adoptable sled dogs range in age from 3 - 14. We very rarely have puppies/youngsters available adoption.
Our adoptable sled dogs are: Alaskan Huskies, Siberian Huskies, Malamutes and/or mixes of all of the above.
Our adoptable sleds dog are used to living in an outdoor, working environment. This means that they will need to be house trained and exposed to house stimulus like stairs, cars, vacuums, wood floors etc. Adopting an adult sled dog is similar to welcoming a puppy.
Our adoptable sled dogs range from medium to high energy. In general they require multiple walks daily and engaging toys when inside the home. A bored/under exercised sled dog is a destructive and anxious sled dog!
Our adoptable sled dogs are trained to run and are therefore a high flight risk. We do require that they be on leash or within a fenced in yard at all times until proper recall training has been received.
Our adoptable sled dogs have befriended many kitties in their new homes, that being said adopters are instructed to monitor all interactions with small animals as our four-leggers have limited exposure to them while with us and there is no telling how they may react.
