Muktuk Adventures – A Place For People Who Love Dogs
A crump form the donut a piece of toast that’s all it takes no need to boast.
A scratch on the ear a pat on the head a quiet “good doddies” no more said.’
A walk in the park a ride in the car no need to go fast no need to go far.
Always there happy and content a tried and true friendship no need to invent
Muktuk Adventures has raised, trained, and cared for dogs for more than 30 years.
We are highly respected and compassionate dog lovers who genuinely care about our dogs, as well as the sport and reputation of dog sledding. Within the following pages, you will meet our amazing athletes and non athletes. We have the most amazing dogs ever no matter their purpose.
The Beginnings
Muktuk Adventures started off more than 30 years ago as a racing kennel. In 2008 Muktuk Adventures participated in the last long distance race and the years following that we started to focus on recreational dog sledding.
We enjoy working in the tourism industry, teaching our guest from all over the world how truly amazing sled dogs are and that they are way more than just working dogs.
New Adventures
Leaving the world of racing behind also opened another window for us. We are no longer actively breeding but rather rescuing dogs that looking for homes.
As we are no longer actively racing we are no longer in need of super athletic sled dogs, all we need is a sled dog that enjoys to run and has fun working in a team.
Since 2012 we took in over 60 dogs. They are coming from different backgrounds such as
- From other kennels that either wanted to downsize their yard, or the dogs were not suited for their needs.
- due to life style changes of their previous owners where the dogs no longer fit in
- Through the Whitehorse shelter or a shelter in Alaska
Of course in an ideal world they all would join our working dogs but as with everything else in life, things are not alwasy perfect. If they do not want to be working dogs they retire early and join our oldie gang.
They will also be added to our list of adoptable dogs and if we find a suitable home we will adopt them out. If you are interested in adopting one of our dogs please do not hesitate to contact us.
We do not sell our dogs, we will only let them go if we know that they are going to have the best possible life ever. Each dog has its own personality and its own needs, which have to be met by potential new owners. One thing they all have in common is the need for love and affection.
We’re a constantly changing family. Check up on us every once in a while to see how we are doing! And follow us on Facebook and Instagram to see what adventures we are currently on.
