Support the Sled Dog of Your Dreams! ($200 Donation)

Here's your chance to pick your own special dog to follow along the Iditarod Trail.  Your $200 donation will help this animal receive high quality food, protective booties, transportation to and from the race, and just make him or her feel all that much more loved!  Read about each of the dogs who are in training for this year's Iditarod team, and then just click on the face of the dog of your choice! 

All dog sponsors will receive an 8x10 photo of your dog signed by Melanie Gould, a used bootie from the Iditarod, and a muddy paw print, too!  Due to the rigors of pre-Iditarod training, you should expect to receive this keepsake AFTER the race is over.  But you will get an email acknowledging and thanking you heartily for your participation soon after you sign up.
