Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Nulato is a 9 year old husky mix. This handsome fella is both smart, and submissive which is rare for a lead sled dog. He enjoys getting pats and gets excited for food. While he enjoys adventures, he is happy just to chill as well.
Much to his dismay, he's being retired early from running for showing signs of a "bad back" (ie: bone spurs and spinal degeneration). Nulato is able to live a normal, happy life, but should no longer be partaking in pulling or weight bearing activities. Luckily being a cuddle buddy doesn't require either, and Nulato would love nothing more than to be your new best friend.
Nulato is currently be fostered by a staff member and it's been reported that he is adapting great at being an "inside dog." He is pretty much house trained (only had one accident), enjoys his crate when needed, and while still figuring out the hardwood stairs, is becoming more confident by the day.
Things To Consider Before You Adopt A Sled Dog:
- 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.

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.
