My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

The award for most beautiful dog goes to - Hera! This pretty lady is a 5 year old Alaskan Husky who is looking for a calm and quiet furever home.

Hera is extremely shy and is also an extreme flight risk (ie: she will be uncatchable if she becomes loose). She also takes a very long time to warm up to new people (but is not fear aggressive).

We are strictly looking for an adult only home that is in a country/rural setting (a fenced in yard would be awesome too).

The ideal adopter will be husky savvy and have experience with shy dogs (or the willingness to hire a trainer to teach the necessary tools). Also, the ideal home would have a second dog (or more). Hera does well with other dogs and looks to them for behavioral cues. We truly believe this would help her come out of her shell. is a bit timid at first.

Once Hera warms up to you and knows she can trust you, she is a happy go-lucky gal. Lastly, Hera has put in a request to make sure her new family has a firm understanding that she loves cookies.

When you adopt a dog from us you receive free lifetime in person/phone/email support. 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.
