The Iditarod has been our dream for a long time. This 1100 mile long race across Alaska draws attention from around the world. It offers an unparalleled opportunity for mushers and dogs to care for one another as they travel across some of the last true wilderness.

While the Iditarod has been our dream, it pales in comparison to the experience of living with dogs. Mushing combines caring for animals with Olympic level training. Our dogs are much more than superior working animals. They are our friends, comrades, co-workers, family. We strive to give them the best in housing, nutrition, training and health care.

Long distance mushing is all about teamwork. Sponsoring the dogs at The Wolf's Den Kennel allows you to enjoy the thrill of mushing without leaving the comfort of home. Your support helps the dogs at all levels and we look forward to you becoming a part of our team.

There are multiple ways that you can support the team.

Sponsor a specific dog in our kennel.

You can become a the exclusive sponsor of a dog or become the fan of multiple dogs!
