Well, springtime is once again coming to Alaska..
And the dog mushers/puppy mills, have decided that they can no longer afford their sled dogs. The local shelter is filling up, and in the more rural areas and villages, sled dogs meet their fate with a shotgun, and then the carcasses get dumped at the local landfill. These are dogs that, as stated by a writer for the local paper a while back, " Are truly loved by their owners, but they are not pets". Well, at he/she got part of it right. Ugh! Here is the link to our local shelter. http://www.fnsb.petfinder.com.
