SLED DOG RESCUE

"Flower," a 4-year-old spayed female Siberian husky, is housebroken, well-behaved, gentle, loving and intelligent. Although she was born with a disability in her back knees, she can run and walk just fine, but with a "cowgirl" gait, and she needs help getting into a car. She does well with people and other dogs, but absolutely no cats or small animals. For more information about Flower and other northern breed dogs, contact rescue@norsled.org, call 800-471-5822 or visit NorSled at www.norsled.org.
