February 11, 2010 - After many months of waiting the Sled Dog Sanctuary was accepted and approved by the state of Alaska to be a non-profit organization. Filing is currently being prepared to allow the Sanctuary a 501c status. This means that any donations made to the Sanctuary project are eligible for a tax right off by the donator when filing their yearly taxes.
December 1st 2009 - Forty
acres of raw land purchased at mile 90 of the Parks Highway just
outside the town of Talkeetna. Five acres or more (still to be decided)
are officially set aside as the new location of the Sled Dog Sanctuary.
The lot is full with many, many acres of
extremely tall birch trees, a natural drainage and wide open areas for
the dogs to run and play. Boarding the property are 1000's of acres of
state land that is easy to access for training of the sanctuary dogs
and free time play. The Alaska Railroad boarders the far edge of this property and provides a natural barrier to the property from recreational traffic insuring that even our shiest fosters will have a quiet place to recover during their rehabilitation.
This railroad will also offer a wonderful opportunity for hanging large advertising boards direct in view to the 1000's of tourists who travel through Alaska on the only north/south railroad that exists in our great state.
Along with exposure on the railroad this location is key to increase public exposure to our sanctuary sled dogs available for adoption and to offer the public easy access to information about our great sport of dog mushing! The Parks Highway is one of the busiest in the state and access to the Sanctuary will be as easy as a simple turn off from the highway.
This property has approximately 1/4 mile of highway frontage, perfect for all our advertising needs!
