It is possible to choose any of our huskies who are not already sponsored, but the following are examples from each category that would love the extra help. Don't worry if you cannot afford the full cost of keeping the dog here through the year (as detailed in sponsorship options). Any contribution at all towards each of these characters will be much appreciated.
Please send all sponsorship enquiries to [email protected].
The following dogs are older or 'less-good' sled-dogs who, as a result of their nature, are probably not so easy to find new homes for. We are fully expecting to care for them into their old age. For this reason, we have them on the 'please sponsor me' list, since any help at all with their long term care would be appreciated.
I am 15 and have been Eliel's dog since he was a baby. |

Bran
I was adopted once and then given back in really bad condition - so much so that I gave half of the farm scabies before Anna and Pasi figured out what was going on.

Hickory
Hickory is one of our H-pups born in 2014 on our farm. His whole litter were destined to pull to their heart's content, and are extremely hard workers. However, because of this Hickory needs a lot of extra food to keep him healthy!

Japp
Japp came to us in autumn 2016 at the same time with Dole and Doffen, his half-brothers. He is one of our strongest and fastest Alaskan huskies, but because of his short coat and energy use Japp has difficulty keeping weight on. For this reason he needs to be consistently fed more than most of the other sled-dogs and watched closely.

Maple
I was Sirbma's last-born pup and brought our 2017 puppy count to a nice, even nine boys and nine girls. There were actually two more pups born before me but one of them hadn't formed and one, Snip, unfortunately got squished by my mom when he was just 9 days old. All black face, white legs and belly. I had a cluster of five white hairs on the back of my neck when I was little, which was the only way I could be told apart from my sister Apple. Now I am definitely bigger and prettier than her! I am slightly larger than my sister Apple, and have a lighter face. I have a little black dot on my forehead.
While pretty, Maple is extremely difficult to find running/cage partners. For this reason, we need to spend extra time socialising her and working with her in the line.

Indigo
Indigo came as a very shy rescue dog who cowered in the corner of the kitchen when anyone came too close. After a lot of time and love, she has become more confident in herself. Now, she is an extremely happy lady who likes nothing more than to play with her girlfriends.
We didn't know how Indigo would turn out as a sled dog, but with guidance from Diva she has become a wonderful leader-in-training. Before setting off, Indigo wriggles around like a worm in line, easily getting harness rub on her back. For this reason, she has to wear a special fluffy harness whenever she runs!
