First half day tour for winter was a success! Had a great time showing my guest around Anchorage and Portage Valley with a stop at the Conservation Center. Roadside Reindeer Dogs in the new Mini Hauler allowed for a warm lunch with a view! Limited tour dates available this holiday season.

I certainly wasn’t expecting to receive this incredible review from my last Airbnb Experiences tour guest. I look forward to a full tour weekend to include this season’s first Seward tour followed by a half day tour to Portage.

The downstairs 1 bed/1 bath unit still has some availability for this summer season:

We take your health and safety seriously. Electrostatic sprayer with Brulin Brutab disinfectant kills all of the things. The 360 deg wrap around technology ensures everything is extra sterile, even hard to clean surfaces and areas like under the table edges chairs.

Now taking reservations from March 29 - June 10, 2024. Rental vehicle available after April 15 for Airbnb guests only. Ask for details and costs. Restrictions apply.

Are you excited about this new program available through the Matsu Shelter?!!!

I did this at Kauai Humane Shelter a few years ago and took a shelter dog out for the day. We had a great time getting outside, pup cups, beach walk, and sniffing all of the things!

You cannot truly experience Alaska until you explore our trails with a dog! Just be sure to keep your furry companion on leash and under control at all times! This is The Last Frontier! We don’t want to lose our new friends out in the woods by themselves!

MSB AC&R is excited to share our upcoming Pilot Program - Matanuska Miles & Mutts! This program is aimed at community members helping us lower the overall FAS (fear/anxiety/stress) levels in our Shelter Pets by taking them on Field Trips!

Miles and Mutts is for Community Members looking to walk, hike, or adventure with adoptable shelter dogs. These field trips help shelter dogs manage kennel stress, burn off energy and get more exposure to potential adopters. It’s also great excuse to get out and have fun with a canine sidekick.

Dogs that are taken on outings as part of a shelter program are nearly always happier. Exercising releases endorphins that make a dog feel good and uses up energy that otherwise manifests itself as undesirable behavior such as pacing, barking and aggression. Not only is this great in the short term, but a happier and less hyperactive dog also has a better chance of finding a permanent home. A well exercised dog is far more likely to be on its best behavior when prospective owners are visiting.

• Pets are good for people.
• People are good for pets.
• When you get them together, everyone benefits.

Latest reviews from this month’s guests!

01/30/2024

Heads up, Anchorage visitors! We just received another 12” of snow the past 24 hrs making it to over 101” snow since October 1, 2023, the snowiest snowfall in a winter on record. This means that snow plow service and city plows are all working non stop to clear out the snow (driveways, residential streets, city streets, parking lots, and roofs). Please be patient and understand it takes time.

This also means, if you are renting a vehicle or getting an Uber/Lyft, be sure to get something with fairly high clearance and minimum AWD/4WD with good winter tires to make it on the residential and lesser traveled roads.

We hope you had an incredible holiday season this year! It was a full house for the holidays with both the upstairs apartment and downstairs Airbnb full! Obviously we had to make it extra special for our guests! Local tour for Anchorage things plus a NYE celebration bag (non alcoholic for all ages).

Thank you for an amazing 2023!! Looking forward to 2024!
