Jack is feeling very sad and left out. Most of our adoptable dogs have applications in and are in the adoption process. But not this adorable little shorty bum.

He is a friendly, energetic, smart little guy. He is 8 months old and is a lovely companion.

If you have been considering adopting, this big personality in a smallish package might be your guy! Check him out here:

Dixie needs you!

After many months of looking for her forever home, Dixie is desperately hoping that someone will choose her. She is an incredible 4-year-old boxer who deserves a forever family who will love and spoil her.

Dixie has been staying in a wonderful foster home that has taught her many fun tricks. They’ve worked on socializing her with people of all ages and other dogs. She is a gentle and kind dog with kids and can play rough with adults who want that type of behaviour. She is so intelligent that she is able to read a situation and know how she should respond. She is an incredibly loving dog who is loyal and follows her people wherever they are in the home. She enjoys long walks and playtime in the yard.

Can you give Dixie the forever home she has been waiting so long to find? Email us at [email protected] or call us at 905-665-7430 ext. 0.

HELP NEEDED PLACING KRABLOONIK DOGS. PLEASE SHARE.

There are currently nine dogs released from Krabloonik kennels in Snowmass, CO looking for homes. Many more to come. These horribly neglected dogs deserve the love and care good rescues and homes can provide. Can you help? PLEASE SHARE.

Aspen & Snowmass, Colorado, made headlines in 2013 when Dan MacEachen – owner of the largest commercial sled dog operation in the contiguous United States (Krabloonik) – was charged with eight counts of animal cruelty. However, this was not the first time that issues of cruelty and neglect were discovered at Krabloonik kennels. MacEachen pleaded guilty to animal cruelty charges in 1988 for “viciously beating one of his dogs.”

In December of 2014, MacEachen sold Krabloonik kennels to a then- current employee, Dan Phillips – the Director of Operations since 2013. Phillips also worked as a musher/handler for MacEachen from November of 2001 to May of 2002.

Now, they are in the news again - and have begun to release dogs to rescue. There are currently 9 Krabloonik dogs at the Aspen Animal Shelter. At last official count there were 192 dogs in total at Krabloonik. These are dogs that live chained as a primary method of confinement. They will need a caring and patient foster or adopter to show them how to be a “real” dog and learn to live in the house. There are also a handful of excellent online support groups for adopters of industry sled dogs - many were involved in the Whistler rescue.

The Krabloonik Best Practices Review Committee was down to one remaining member this February after several resignations from the group, which was formed in 2015 to review and inspect Krabloonik Dog Sledding and report on whether the facility’s operators are following the best practices it committed to in its lease with the town.

The Pitkin County Sheriff’s Office is awaiting approval on an arrest warrant for a former Krabloonik Dog Sledding musher after an investigation into an allegation of animal cruelty documented on video in late January.

The town of Snowmass Village also has received complaints about the facilities, records show, as has the Krabloonik Best Practices Review Committee.

If your rescue can help - or you’d like to adopt or foster - please email [email protected]
