The park has a kennel where they raise and house sled dogs. The dogs are used for hauling and accessing remote places in the park. They are Alaskan Huskies- bred for strength in hauling and working in teams. The kennel is open to visitors and as long as you don't cross the rope you can pet the dogs. In the summer, to get their exercise, each dog has a team of volunteer dog walkers who take them out for 2-3 miles per day.
The dogs retire at age 8 or 9 and are adopted out to families who apply. This is Venture. He is retiring in September!
