<div>Hi everyone! My name is Alex. I am a dryland musher leading a team of rescue, discarded huskies whose lives were changed by doing what they were born to do. I run a rescue dedicated to pulling kill-list/medically compromised shelter dogs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>I am starting this campaign so that I can continue to enrich the lives of all dogs we rescue and rehabilitate, and to ensure we can save even more.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are two-time USFSS National Team members, set to compete in the World Championship this year - these dogs came from nothing... together, we have proven that they can do ANYTHING.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Not only were these dogs unwanted, but most have experienced extreme hardship, and some have significant handicaps. Their stories still haunt me.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Odin, our one-eyed lead dog, was left for dead on the streets of Newark and sat for 2 1/2 agonizing weeks with his eye hanging out of his head.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Elton, the deaf Alaskan, was dropped from his team for not being “fast enough,” because he shed too much in the house, and because he has a “deaf screech” that was annoying to some.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Nova, who roamed the streets of Camden for almost 6 months, surviving alone. Her black hair was bleached brown when we picked her up from a life outside in the elements.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Axel, who lived the first year of his life on a tether outside, eating only raw chicken. Never a walk, rarely a human hand giving him any affection.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Vail, who was up for euthanasia at a shelter in South Carolina before we stepped up, for no good reason but for lack of space.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>None of that mattered to me. None of that mattered on the trail. All of these dogs still proved themselves absolutely worthy, despite their beginnings and trauma.
</div>
<div><br />
