Email to colomtnmushers@yahoo.com General InformationThe Colorado Mountain Mushers are members of Mush with PRIDE. "PRIDE" stands for Providing Responsible Information on a Dog’s Environment. The relationship between sled dogs and humans is one of the oldest bonds of its kind. Modern sled dog owners are proud of their dogs as canine athletes that are bred and trained to do what they love: run as part of a team. Mush with PRIDE supports the responsible care and humane treatment of all dogs and is dedicated to enhancing the care and treatment of sled dogs in their traditional and modern uses. For more information, please visit their website at http://www.mushwithpride.org/. Latest News - 1/19/2010 Dogs
needing homes. Recently, a large kennel of almost 100
Alaskan huskies was surrendered to the Park County Animal Control in
Colorado. The dogs were discovered in "...severly neglected and
starving conditions." The dogs have been spread across several
shelters to get them back to health and adoptable condition.
Thanks to our wonderful club members who are helping house dogs and
working with Park County to try and place these dogs. Part of
CMM's mission is to promote and foster the well being of sled
dogs. The dogs are surprisingly well socialized and many have
great builds (Ellis/Barron lineage on many). The dogs range from
6 months to 13+ years old. If anyone is interested in adopting a
dog or helping with donations for
these shelters, contact Park County Animal Rescue at PO Box 604,
Fairplay, CO 80440. Press release from Park County
Sheriff's Office (CAUTION: CONTAINS DISTURBING PHOTOS):
