  Nikki  is a fabulous female Siberian who stole our hearts from the word  "mush!" She came to us branded as abandoned and abused. The story goes  she was tied to a boiler in the basement and the people moved out,  leaving her there. Also  said to be aggressive-Nikki proves you can’t believe everything you  hear. She has never given us one iota of trouble!  (Well, there was that  time she took herself for a stroll in a snowstorm -but hey- what Husky  hasn't?)  As she has hung around The University, she has become a huge  asset to the rehabilitation program and is the calm, assertive Pack  Leader.  Older  now, infact our oldest at around twelve she can get a bit crochety when  she’s not in the mood, but still she knows just the right amount of  correction to give to dogs who are struggling with anxious energy.   Chatty and hilarious with her Zoomy Zoomy Zooms, we can't imagine life  without her!

Love you more.

Thunder   is what they call a Native American Indian Dog (NAID). One of the most   majestic canines ever, he has an incredibly engaging Spirit. Many of   those who’ve met him agree that he is indeed a Sacred Animal. Super   sweet and sensitive, he weighs over one hundred pounds and stands 6  feet  tall on his hindquarters.   He  is remarkably well socialized with  other dogs and wants nothing more  than to romp and play- even with the  little guys. He has a great sense  of humor, is silly on many levels, and  is simply amazing to watch run,  or listen to- when you inspire him to  “sing”.   He  loves balls and toys, and desires lots of activity to  amuse himself  and/or be entertained. He relishes his time with K9’s  and/or humans  alike. While he needs calm Leadership, patience, and  affection to  maintain and improve his training, this incredible dog is  well worth  it! 

Dogspeed, Mr. Thunder Keewanaw Wolfie Pants McDonald.  You are incredible.

" Blessed  are our beloved sled dogs, as they are actually Angels from Heaven,  here to teach us life's most important lessons. From courage to how to  find joy in unlikely places, they gift us more than unconditional love.  And on their return this Night of the Winter Solstice, they bring with  them more gifts of character, and how to walk a simple, good path, as  well as how to open our hearts and homes to another Angel. For in  teaching us how to love, our hearts grew big enough for another, who  will continue our lessons from the Divine Eternal. I believe. Do you?"   ~Cruzlin Picabo Schubert 2018
