Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Larry was born at the kennel in 2013 and has been a fantastic sled dog during his time with us. That being said, the time has come where he think he wants to give house life a try.
Larry has what we jokingly refer to as "resting dog face" at the kennel because he always has a kind of mopey expression, his tail could be going a mile a minute, and his full body could be wiggling with excitement, yet his face will be totally neutral.
Larry is friendly, and affectionate, without being demanding about it. He often takes a minute to warm up to new faces, and consequently can come across as standoffish, but he does comes out of his shell fairly quickly when given the chance. In general, he is a calm dog that would be just as happy to go for walks as he would cuddle on a doggie bed at your feet while you work.
Larry gets along fine with other dogs. While he gets along with children, they are not his crowd of choice. Larry much prefers older individuals, and those with calm energy. He would be a great companion for single person, or older couple.
Things To Consider Before Adopting A Sled Dog:
- They 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.
- They typically 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!
- They 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.
- While they have befriended many kitties in their new homes, we do not have small animals at the kennel to gauge their reactions and safety to them.

We have a comprehensive adoption process that includes: a questionnaire/application, reference check, in person meetings, etc. We understand that this process may seem lengthy, but we want to ensure everyone both two and four legged is being setup for success. Our adoption fee is $250 and covers: health certificate, microchip, DHLPP and Bordetella vaccines, and spay or neuter.
