We are looking to get a dog exercise treadmill for our dogs. First, it would help our older dogs that no longer pull have a chance to get some exercise other than just a walk. This would also help in rehabilitation.If there happens to be any injuries, this would be a way to get the dogs back into physical fitness and ready to go again after recovery. This would also keep the pulling dogs in good shape throughout the summer season, when they don't get out on the sleds or carts. We are looking at a dog powered model so that they could choose the speed they want to go and they make the choice. We also made sure we picked one with a breaking system so that we can make sure that they are not overdoing it, or we can slow them down without having injury. This is the one we are looking at possibly getting. If you would like to donate to help us get one for the kennel, please click on the link below. Thank you 😊

Adoptable sled dog of the week:

Meet Cowboy born in 2017 he still has a lot to give. Cowboy is on the younger side of our adoptable dogs due to medical condition. He has perianal fistulas that need regular medical laser treatments and medications when they are flared up. Cowboy is a very loving dog who gets along with every other dog he meets, and every person he meets. He can be a little overexcited when meeting people so smaller children may get knocked down by his over exuberance. Cowboy is one of those dogs who likes to stick near his people. So has potential to be an off-leash dog with some training. He also does wonderful on car rides. He's been on many and always is up for a ride in the car. For more information on cowboy, or if you're interested in adopting, please contact us at: [email protected] or call the office 603-545-4533

He would be happy in a home with someone that would be willing to give him a little bit of exercise, as he is still active. He is older so he wouldn't need to go for runs but he would be happy with a nice walk or a small hike.
