Here's what the humans have to say about me:
This handsome man is kind of a big deal, he has participated in the Iditarod not once but twice! This 13.5 year old Alaskan husky now spends his days demanding belly rubs and anxiously awaiting his next adventure. Cinco does well with children and most dogs and loves going on frequent walks and hikes. Cinco has a passion and special drive that most of us two-leggers can only dream of.
Why doesn't this amazing sled dog have a home already you ask? Well ... he does have a special need. He recently developed an issue with his right salivary gland which fills up with purulant exudate (ie: spit and stuff) which needs to be drained every now again by a vet. It is a super simple and quick (albeit slightly gross) health care task that is very easy to manage.
While Cinco may be too proud to beg, we are not. He is a great dog that deserves a wonderful home to retire to. So if you want a love bug that will shower you with affection and inspire you with his passion then please consider welcoming Cinco to your home.
Our adoption fee is $250 and covers: health certificate, clear stool sample, microchip, updated vaccines, spay or neuter if necessary, a harness, and use of Tagg GPS tracker for 3 months.
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.
