SnowDogALooza

MUSH, the Massachusetts Union of Siberian Huskies, along with Boston Snow Dogs, invites everyone to SnowDogALooza, an exciting day of Siberian Husky activities. The event will be held at Nickerson Park from 11-3 on Saturday, October 20. Come meet a beautiful snow dog in person! SnowDogALooza is a fun-filled event with something for the whole family. Participants can win exciting raffle prizes, enjoy refreshments and hike through beautiful Nickerson Park with their four-legged friends. MUSH will also be sharing the progress of some recent Siberians who have received medical care and assistance through the group. Boston Snow Dogs will bring several huskies for families to meet and will hold an urban mushing demo to share this fun sport. Experts will make a presentation on Siberians, their history and the sport of mushing. Through the event MUSH would like to increase awareness of the group and its work, raise funds to help Siberians in need, and share this beautiful breed with the community. MUSH (Massachusetts Union for Siberian Huskies) is an all-volunteer non-profit group that offers support to the Siberian Husky community in various ways including facilitating the re-homing of Huskies in shelters or through private adoption, providing referrals for dog sports and activities, and recommending professional services. The organization also offers financial aid to shelters and rescues for Siberian Huskies with medical needs. Their website includes a message board to facilitate the re-homing of Siberians and includes a forum for the exchange of information on Husky care. Learn more about MUSH at http://mushdogs.org/. Boston Snow Dogs is a group of dog lovers focused on the care and nurturing of northern breed dogs in urban environments. Members share information and ideas, support Siberian owners and partner with local rescues. The group holds regular meetups throughout New England to hike, mush or just gather with good friends. Although the focus is on northern breeds, all dogs are welcome and members need not own a dog to enjoy the group’s activities.
