    Hey, I actually placed one!!

    Actually two dogs!!

    A few weeks ago I got an email from a woman looking to add a couple dogs to her recreational dog team. I'm the regional contact for a couple different rescues. She wanted dogs that were already somewhat sled trained and who could adapt to living as house dogs. So I did some checking on her and I am quite sure she'd be a good adoptive owner. Made a few phone calls, got a few more from mushers looking to place dogs...there are always lots of mushers trying to get rid of puppies around here, but this girl actually wanted adults! Last week I heard of two sled dogs, females, already spayed(practically a miracle around here), four years old, have some training. A fairly well known musher was giving them away as they just weren't working out for him but he thought they'd be perfect for a rec. team. The two dogs go to their new home tomorrow! He's even delivering them!!

    See I don't keep them all!!

    Yeah! I got a little worried till I read all the way through, I thought "Oh no! Who's gonna get shipped out? " What a relief it wasn't any of your current pack! Congratulations, what a great feeling it must be to match those two lovely dogs with the perfect situation!

    I have discovered that is the trick! As long as I don't foster or let them set paw in my house, I have no problem finding them a new place to live! Well, finding the right place might take awhile, but other than that!
