"Sanctuary": A sacred place; An area set aside as a refuge or asylum… For those who are struggling, who are in pain, who need peace, who are seeking somewhere to rest, we hope to be a haven of hope and healing.

The healing benefits for the human-animal bond have been seen time and time again, and there is a reason that dogs have earned the title of "Man's Best Friend".  The Mushing Mission Sanctuary focuses on the use of Huskies and Wolfdogs as tools for comfort and education. And, we design exercises as therapeutic aids for counselors and their patients, facilitating Animal-Assisted Therapy. For those in need of peace, encouragement, and comfort, our pack and facility  offer a safe place for rest, reflection, and prayer.

Of course, one of our highlight exercises is teaching our clients to work with a team of dogs and experiencing the exhilaration of urban mushing. Communication, confidence, control, and courage are just some of the attributes to be fostered.

We are in our infancy… That means that we are starting small. Currently, we are providing off-premise encounters with our dogs. Once we obtain a variance to operate on premises, our facility will develop into a fully functioning therapy center with exercise/training pens, nature trails with reflection/prayer stops, and a counseling/learning center.
