Most of our Alaskan huskies retire between 8 and 10 years of age, although some dogs may retire earlier if sledding is not the right fit for them or if life in the dog yard becomes too stressful. To help prepare them for life outside the kennel, we created the “Borrow a Buddy” programme, giving retired sled dogs the chance to experience everyday pet life before finding their forever homes.
Over the years, we have successfully found loving homes for more than 200 retired sled dogs. Alaskan huskies can become wonderful companions for active families and individuals who enjoy spending time outdoors and building a close bond with their dog.
If you are interested in adopting one of our retired huskies and becoming part of the Villmarkssenter husky family, feel free to send us an email.
