Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Do you need help telling the neighborhood kids to stay off your grass? Or perhaps you are looking for a companion that has perfected the art of asking nothing of you. If so, Chopper is your man! This handsome devil is an 11.5 year old Alaskan Husky. He is a very independent dog who loves to have company but isn't needy or outwardly cuddly (he does however love chin scratches, just don’t tell this tough cookie we told you).
While Chopper can be standoffish and crotchety at first he just has this “je ne sais quoi” about him that grows on you. Underneath his raspy old man bark, Chopper is actually very enduring and loyal. If Chopper was a person he would Clint Eastwood’s character Walt on Gran Torino, tough on the outside and tough on the inside but lovable all the same.
Chopper’s ideal home would be a husky savvy, adult only one where he is either the only pet or is matched with a dog equal in age and energy (no rambunctious pups for this guy).
Our adoption fee is $250 and covers: health certificate, clear stool sample, microchip, updated vaccines, spay or neuter if necessary, a Ruffwear harness, and use of Tagg GPS tracker for 3 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.
