Review for Straw for Dogs, Fairbanks, AK, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Exactly one year ago a smart little stray husky came from Anchorage AK to join our recreational dog sled family pack in Alberta, Canada. Arranging transport proved to be challenging and even tho SVEN was not in the "care" of Straw for Dogs, this amazing organization stepped up to the plate on behalf of husky SVEN. Straw for Dogs worked over and above the call of duty to successfully arrange ALL travel arrangements ~ including but not limited to numerous calls, texts, emails between participating parties, visiting SVEN at his temporary care, locating a suitable airline approved crate for his long flight, introducing him to a crate, ensuring he had ALL proper paperwork for border customs, travelling in the early morning hours to personally send him safely on his journey ~ a long flight from Anchorage AK to Vancouver BC. We drove the 16 hour trip and picked up our beloved SVEN and travelled home to introduce SVEN to his new family pack. Sven was indeed a perfect match for our pack and has already taken his turn at being LEAD DOG !!
Huge paws up to S4D for all of their efforts, for us, for SVEN, and for all of the outdoor dogs who have received much needed straw, fencing, houses, toys, and all they require to provide comforts of life!!!!
