From Trailblazer to Couch Potato - Sponsor a Retired Sled Dog

Give a Retired Sled Dog the Soft Life On the Couch They Deserve

They’ve pulled their weight (and then some) and now it’s time for belly rubs, long naps, and well-earned treats. When you sponsor a retired sled dog, you’re not just supporting a good dog, you’re honoring an Alaskan legend.

At Midnight Sun Kennel, we don’t rehome our dogs when they retire.  They stay with us, living out their golden years with the same love and care they’ve always known. Your sponsorship helps cover food, vet care, bones and those extra ear scratches they absolutely demand.

Includes a digital photo + short bio of your sponsored pup, and bragging rights for life. Because who wouldn’t want to say, “Yeah, I support retired athletes… the four-legged kind.”

3 Levels of Sponsorship Available

Treat Giver – $25

• Digital photo + short bio of your retired sled dog
• Certificate of Sponsorship (digital)

Because every good dog deserves a treat—and you just earned tail wags for life.

Belly Rub Backer – $50

• All Treat Giver perks
• Seasonal update from your sponsored dog (digital postcard-style)
• Behind-the-scenes photo or short video of retirement life

Supporting naps, nose boops, and full bowls across the north.

Snuggle Supporter – $100

• All Belly Rub Backer perks
• Handwritten thank-you note from the humans (with optional paw print)
• Printed, frame-worthy photo of your sponsored pup
• Kennel Sticker

You’re not just supporting a sled dog—you’re spoiling a retired champion.

PLEASE READ BEFORE SPONSORING:  Before you choose a sponsorship, head over to our Meet the Team page to get to know the dogs. From speedy racers to retired couch potatoes (and even our “coaches”), each pup has their own personality and story. Once you’ve found your favorite, come back here to make it official and join their journey!
