If you love sled dogs, this is your dream come true. At our Ethical Sled Dog Sanctuary, every
Alaskan Husky is family—loved, respected, and never chained. Playful and social, they live
happy, enriched lives year-round. Come meet BENJI, our newest member of the Gang.

Your adventure starts with a warm welcome and time to bond with the dogs. You’ll enjoy an exclusive hands-on experience: help harness and hitch your team, then set off on a magical ride through our 140-acre private trail system, the only custom-built dogsledding network in the lower 48!      When the run is done, reward your team with treats and relax by the wood burning stove with warm refreshments.

In the winter, Eden’s unique mountain microclimate delivers some of the most reliable snowfall
in New England, ensuring dependable trails and a true snow-filled experience. In summer, the
magic continues with our “sledding-on-wheels” tours, offering the same excitement without snow.

Every visit directly supports the ethical care and lifelong well-being of the Un-Chained
Gang—dogs who are always cherished and free to be dogs.
