“If you were lucky enough to know a great one, they never really leave. They stay with you as long as you live. Harnessed to your heart, giving their all.”

Our sled dogs are usually foster fails, their fosters never really prepared for how magical they are. Once one of them enters your home, it often becomes impossible to let them leave.

Huron was the type of dog who could take your breath away. Startlingly beautiful, he was equally sweet, affectionate, and stubborn. He adopted by his fosters in October 2022. He lived a full retirement life and we’re so very grateful to them.

Goodbye Huron. We’ll see you in the stars, feel you in the wind.

🐾 Featuring “Aggie” or Agouak 🐾

Breed: Husky mix
Age: Approximately 8 years old
Energy Level: Medium-High
Medical: Spayed & up-to-date on vaccines. Like most older dogs, could benefit from joint supplements.
Size: Medium (approx 60lbs)
✅ Dogs.
✅ Cats.
✅ Kids.

Hi, I’m Agouak, or Aggie for short! I’m an 8-year-old retired sled dog looking for a forever family. I have a medium to high energy level, and I love my daily walks—two 30-minute walks each day keep me happy, though I wouldn’t say no to longer weekend adventures!

When you come home, I’ll greet you with a wagging tail, calm and collected. I don’t jump or get too excited, but I’ll always be happy to see you. I’m a bit independent and aloof—I like to have my own space and won’t be in your lap all the time. You’ll often find me curled up on my bed or lying down near the family while they’re watching TV.

I have some fun quirks! I like to “borrow” shoes and slippers, bringing them into my crate—don’t worry, I don’t chew them; I just like having them close. Speaking of crates, I’m crate trained and often go in on my own during the day, sometimes with my toys.

I’m working on my leash manners because I tend to pull a bit, so I wear a Halti to help with that. I don’t love it, but I’m getting there! I’m great with other dogs, cats, and kids.

I’d love a home with someone who can take me on my daily walks and give me space to hang out, preferably with a fenced backyard where I can watch the squirrels. If you’re looking for an independent, loyal companion with a gentle spirit, I could be the perfect match for you!

Love,
Aggie

Seeking Shelf Donations

Our amazing supply coordinators dedicate their own home spaces to store and assemble essential kits for the rescue, including items like food, beds, crates, and more.

To help them stay organized and keep everything accessible, we’re reaching out to our community for any shelf donations. We already have plenty of bins—so shelves or storage solutions (other than bins) would be ideal!

If you or someone you know has shelves they’re looking to part with, please let us know.

Thank you for supporting our mission to provide the best for our dogs in care!
