Meet Gonzo

You may recognize this handsome fella from his spread in People Magazine back in April of 2013. Gonzo is a 9 year old, Alaskan husky that is looking for a furrever home to call his own.

Gonzo is 100% blind and has had both eyes removed. He had retinal degeneration, blindness and pain in his eyes prior to removal. He adapted quickly and is still very active and would be happy to accompany you on any outdoor adventure.

While he needs help getting in and out of the vehicle Gonzo is particularly fond of car rides.

Gonzo gets a long with everyone and everything. We want Gonzo to go to a home with his brother (Poncho). Having another dog around helps him acclimate and feel comfortable.

Our adoption fee is normally $250 and includes: a health certificate, proof of clear fecal test, microchip, updated bordetella, DHLPP and rabies vaccines, spay/neuter surgery if necessary, Ruffwear harness and TAGG pet tracking device (for first three months). For the two boys, we are offering a reduced adoption fee of $350 total.

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.
