What we do
Unleashing Hope for Forgotten Sled Dogs
We rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome sled dogs in Northwest Colorado—preserving the ancient art of mushing while giving each dog a second chance to run, play, and be loved.

Who we are
Where Forgotten Dogs Find Purpose Again
Snowbody Sled Dog Refuge is a nonprofit organization dedicated to saving dogs from uncertain futures. What began as a sanctuary for aging racing dogs has grown into a mission-driven operation that gives each dog a new path—whether through adoption, sponsorship, or simply the joy of running free again.
We’re here to protect the legacy of mushing, to connect people with nature and animals, and to show what’s possible when love and second chances lead the way.
Be Their Constant Support
our mission
We give sled dogs purpose, not just shelter. Each rescue is a chance to heal and run free again. It’s a mission rooted in compassion, movement, and belonging.
Hope Starts Here
