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):
