> PENCE 4-13-16 House B….Pence is a female pointer mix from excellent 
> bloodlines.  She has good drive and a nice gait.  She probably doesn’t 
> have top end open class sprint speed but is fast for skijorers and smaller 
> teams. She is a VERY sweet dog that gets along with other dogs and people. 
> She loves to be beside you and would be a loyal friend for life.  She is 4 
> years old.

> Helen  4-16-21  House D….2 years old.  Helen has made everyone fall in 
> love with her!!  She is a young spayed female, white with some black on 
> her face. She is deaf.  Her original owner said that he never chained her 
> up.  She just never ran off and always wanted to be with him on his forays 
> through the woods.  She uses a lot of the other dogs' body language to get 
> along and understand what is going on.  She would make a GREAT pet yet she 
> is a very very driven sled dog.  We ran her mostly in swing although we 
> tried her in lead and she was confused so we pulled her back to swing. 
> This dog is a love!!  Very friendly, gentle and happy.  She loves to run 
> and would make a great house dog that also could work hard for your team. 
> She is small but her compact body moves along pretty quickly.  She could 
> loose some weight but her coat is thick and soft and she has a lot of 
> great expressions.

> NOVA  4-13-15  House F….Nova is a sprinty dog with long legs and unusal 
> coloring.  She is grey and white with distinct markings on her face.  The 
> ex-owner said that she is fast and runs great up to 25 miles.  I don’t 
> think she knows how to pace herself.  She is driven and loves to go.  We 
> were told that she is “pushy” with other dogs but we didn’t see that at 
> all when we ran her today.  I had a loose dog running around the truck and 
> she was chained next to females and there was never any growling.  She is 
> around 2 years old.

> GRISH  4-16-25  House L….this boy was one of 7 that came in with Helen. 
> He looks much like Helen although more black on him and he is 2 years 
> older. He is the only one of the 7 that wasn’t neutered or spayed.  He 
> would work best in a rec team.  He has a very nice trot but didn’t like to 
> lope.  He is VERY friendly.  A sweet boy that could also cross over to a 
> pet easily.

> RUSTY 4-16-24 House O….one of the 7….he is a red dog, neutered male around 
> 5 years old.  He comes from good bloodlines.  He is missing half of each 
> ear and the end of his tail after being severely frostbitten as a puppy. 
> He LOVES to run and pull.  He is very energetic and friendly.  He will run 
> lead as long as you keep going….if you stop he likes to turn around so we 
> didn’t keep him up front for very long, the other lead dog couldn’t keep 
> him lined out.  But as a swing or team dog he is excellent.

> YUKON  4-12-3  House M.  He is a larger male dog that has an Iditarod 
> microchip.  I don’t know why he is at the shelter as he was left without 
> any information.  Here he trained many miles to be able to at least start 
> the Iditraod and he ends up at our shelter.  Would be nice to know why…. 
> He ran good for us.  Nice gait, good drive.  He is a bit overweight (I 
> think he is neutered).

> BLACKIE  4-13-13  House P….she is a wonderful smaller dog that is totally 
> addicted to running.  This girl pulls HARD.  We tried her in lead and she 
> was respectable but not as driven as when she is in the team.  She is a 
> hard working dog with a great work ethic.

> PeeWee  4-9-19  House I….he is a larger dog (overweight too) that is a 
> total recreational dog.  We started him out in lead with one of my main 
> lead dogs and he did great.  Kept the team lined out and stayed straight 
> out front when we would stop.  He is not a fast dog.  His big body and 
> furry coat are made for cold winter trails.  He is friendly and loves to 
> run.  He is 7 years old.

> CHOCOLATE  4-9-19  House J…PeeWee’s sister is a sweet girl.  Another 
> bigger dog that could loose a few pounds.  We ran her in wheel.  She got a 
> bit hot with her big furry coat but loved to go and never wanted to stop. 
> She is friendly and affectionate.

> BANIFF (Honey) 4-16-19  Baniff is a spayed female around 4 years old.  She 
> ended up at the shelter yesterday but being an SCL dog adopted 2 years ago 
> she was pulled back out of the shelter today back into rescue.  So she is 
> AVAILABLE to be adopted through the Second Chance League.  We ran her 
> today in the shelter team and she did great.  She has matured into a very 
> focused dog that loves to run. She isn’t fast but loves to go.  We put her 
> in lead and she did an OK job.  She has a perfect trot.  Would rather go 
> at trotting speeds than loping speeds.  She is VERY sweet and loves to 
> cuddle.  She is very beautiful with a shiny black coat and 2 blue eyes.
