Silver

Meet our newest addition. Silver is a 12 year old sled dog who was left at the Fairbanks animal shelter, along with another dog from the same home. His owner was moving.

Silver is originally from a kennel in Two Rivers, and he has no dew claws. Surely he has been mushing, but more recently he has been a skijor dog.

He is the sweetest, friendliest thing and LOVES to cuddle. He can be mouthy, but he is really just grabby with my hands because he wants attention. His coat is wonderful and thick, and I’ve noticed that he doesn’t handle heat/sun very well.

He’s a bit weak in the hips, but has a lot of energy. He needed help getting into the car, but knew exactly what was going on and rode beautifully, no fuss at all. His teeth are excellent and give no indication that Silver is a 12 year old dog.

This is a very happy boy with a personality that just sparkles.
