Help Us Care

Sponsor a Sled Dog

In the crisp mountain air of Northwest Colorado, our sled dogs live for the thrill of the run, the warmth of a gentle hand, and the comfort of a safe home. Some came to us after hard beginnings, others were retired from racing, and many were born here to a life filled with love and purpose.

From high-quality food and regular veterinary care to warm bedding and enrichment activities, every dollar ensures that our sled dogs enjoy the life they deserve.

When you choose to sponsor, you’re not just giving, you’re becoming part of a dog’s journey

Sponsor. Support. Smile.

Sponsor a Lifetime Friend

Some dogs will stay with us for life due to special needs. Your sponsorship ensures they receive the care, comfort, and love they deserve.

Moe

Monthly Sponsorship

Moe has terrible social skills and only likes other dogs. He is down to one eye because of glaucoma and he’s impossible and I mean impossible to catch if he gets loose.

Grit

Monthly Sponsorship

$65/month (food, treats & medication)

Elder dog Grit, 13 now, we don’t feel it’s fair to him to pass him around. He is safe and happy here and he’s welcome to live out his life. He also has frostbite in some tough places, an anatomical issue that gives him a hard time in the weather and requires treatment and he’s a huge eater!

Phil Collins

Monthly Sponsorship

–

A dog’s dog. Phil loves being a sled dog but he will never be a pet so we are saddled with taking care of young Phil for the rest of his life. He is a beautiful hard working dog who had a tough start in life and doesn’t care for people at all.

Havoc

Monthly Sponsorship

$55/month (food & treats)

Havoc is a sweet old girl. An easy keeper, but at 12 is past what we see as a reasonable age for adoption. She’s not in great health and she’s happy here so we will hold on to her until the end.

Be Their Constant Support

Where Purpose Meets Rescue in the Heart of Colorado

At Snow Buddy Sled Dog Refuge, we believe every sled dog deserves more than just survival—they deserve purpose, care, and connection. From our base in Northwest Colorado, we rescue and rehabilitate sled dogs who’ve been abandoned, overworked, or forgotten. Through our sled dog adventures, kids’ camps, and educational programs, we help people connect with animals, build empathy, and support our mission with every ride.

When you sponsor a sled dog, you help provide rescue, care, and purpose. Together, we’re creating a refuge where every dog is valued, loved, and free to run.
