Update.  Polar's adoption fell through but she got to go to Kantishna this summer giving rides to tourists.  She will love that.  A gentle heart that people will love.

UPDATE March 31st.  Polar has a potential adopter!  She has been in foster care since she came back to the shelter and did great.  She did many rides, ran lead and also visited a Junior high school where everyone loved her.

Minnie is a Second Chance League dog that has been in a couple of different homes.  She was in a distance kennel first at the age of 2 years before that person decided not to run dogs much.  So Minnie was given to a sprint musher where she has been for the last couple of years.  But Minnie really doesn't want to be a sprint dog.  What Minnie would really love is to be a house dog with mushing and skijoring privileges.

She runs lead and knows Gee and Haw.  She has a beautiful gait and a nice trot.  She is housebroken and when she was first brought into the shelter she knew things like "sit" "shake" "down".  She loves to ride in a car and is a great passenger.  Minnie can be shy and a bit fearful of new situations but if you gain her trust and love she will never let you down.  She is affectionate and loving.  She can be insecure around other dogs but that can be worked through with patience and letting her know that bad things aren't going to happen to her.

She has a gorgeous white coat and large brown eyes.  She is 5 years old and 40 pounds.  She is healthy and just waiting for her right place to come along.
