Five of these six dogs came here as rescues. They love to run together in the fields. Five of them are aging with some health problems, but they are great companion dogs. Three of these in the photo have lived here ten years.
Over the years we've taken in nine dogs as rescues. That does not include the sled dog retirees to whom we've been able to give an active and loving home. While people say the dogs are lucky to be here, it is really we who are the lucky ones, many times over. Giving a home to a dog who has been abandoned or lost or abused is some of the most rewarding dog experience one can have.
Giving a lifetime retirement home and to be able to continue to run with wonderful retiree sled dogs who are beyond their abilities to race big races anymore, is amazing. As always, I say, I wish they could talk. I learn something every single day from them . It is a marvelous gift to be able to live with these incredible athletes in their retirement (in my retirement) and to be able to continue to let them run.
