What an incredible experience for all in downtown Anchorage this weekend for the 2025 Fur Rondy Invitational. Happy fast sled dogs, amazing volunteers from Alaskan Sled Dog & Racing Association (ASDRA), and the 80th year of celebrating sled dogs on 4th Ave in the heart of the Anchorage Mushing District.

Though snow levels have been below average, we do have our fantastic trails out in Caswell for our guests to tour on. Since it's north of Willow, the snow is in much better condition. Time to head out with our tour guests and share the best of Alaska with them! Wherever you are, enjoy outdoor time with your dogs and we hope to see you here in Willow for a visit, a tour, or for overnight lodging at our Trailside Vacation Rental right here on our 5.5 acre campus.

🐾❄️ Celebrating 10 Years of Sled Dog Education and Transparency! ❄️🐾

At the Alaska Dog Center, we’ve spent the past decade sharing the magic of sled dogs through education, transparency, and compassion. Dog care and happiness have always been our highest priorities, and they remain the ultimate measure of success. With happy sled dogs leading the way and shared adventures bringing us together, we believe that everyone is a winner.

This video shot by Kale from the 2025 Copper Basin 300 Sled Dog Race shows the happy sled dog team of musher Sam Martin. They mush down the trail along the bank of the Gulkana Wild and Scenic River into and through the beloved Sourdough Checkpoint. The video shows the beauty of the trail, the landscape, and the efforts of all of the race officials and volunteers to support this annual sled dog event.

Here’s to many more years of celebrating the incredible bond between humans and sled dogs! 🛷❤️🐕

🐾🎶 Life wouldn’t be the same without sled dogs and their howls! Peanut and Cashew always lead the chorus, ending with an abrupt stop so the team can "listen." Their harmony is pure magic. 🐕❤️ (turn it up for your dogs at home!)

🌟 Like No Place on Earth 🌟

Yesterday was pure magic at the Alaska Dog Center in Willow! During a special father-daughter mushing tour, the Alaskan winter sunshine burst forth, creating epic moments of sunrise and sunshine against our snowy trails.

A huge thanks to Michael and Autumn for being incredible with our sled dogs! 🐾 They had an amazing time gliding along our moose-free trails, which keep the dogs safe and happy. Long after you left, the team was soaking in the dusk with smiles and shared contentment.

Come experience the joy of mushing and the breathtaking beauty of Alaska with us. Book your own unforgettable adventure today! 🛷❄️
