I wish I could give a 100 stars. If you want to enjoy a hike or dogsledding while also supporting a truly noble cause, definitely visit StinkyPup!
There are businesses that use dogs for dogsledding, and then there are people who build a business around caring for the dogs themselves — including those who can no longer work. Stinky Pup is one of the latter. ❤️
Illana, the founder and owner, is one of the kindest people I’ve ever met. She cares for 32 dogs, ranging from just 2 to 13 years old, and does so with an incredible amount of love and dedication, regardless of whether they are still working or have reached the age of retirement.
Despite that, her tours are remarkably affordable compared with other dogsledding kennels in the Yukon. We spent half a day hiking near beautiful Lake Laberge with the dogs, followed by a meet-and-greet with all the kennel residents. It was such a wonderful experience, and I enjoyed every minute of it. I’ll definitely be back whenever I’m in Whitehorse. 🐾❤️
Rattle’s Foot two days after amputation.
Rattles’ foot is healing nicely. He finally has started putting weight on his leg and using his foot. The vet showed us ex-rays of his front feet. Even for a lay person like me, I could see in the ex-ray how all the bones in the trapped foot were crooked.
