Visit the Flower Homestead, a musher’s homestead tucked away just south of Talkeetna in the Boreal forest of Alaska. Here we live a sustainable life together with the Flower Kennel Sled dogs.

When traveling and you still need your dog fix, visit the Flower Homestead or contact the local shelter for a cuddle.

After a very simple process, we were able to spend a day with Meeka via the Doggie Day Out program of the . She burned off some energy, got lots of cuddles and was shown off to potential forever homes.

The Matsu Animal Shelter has a similar program called Miles & Mutts.

The Flower Kennel and Homestead is a 40 acre musher’s homestead tucked away in the Talkeetna Boreal forest, just south of Talkeetna. We live a sustainable life as much as possible and enjoy every day of hard work. The sled dogs are part of the family, and a major component in the tasks of gathering firewood, hauling water and hunting caribou in spring.

We are a small locally owned operation and our tours are casual and personal. Visiting the Flower Kennel and Homestead makes you step into the unique off-grid Alaska lifestyle and learn about Alaska sled dogs. Our tours are a snapshot of our year round Alaskan life and we are grateful to share it with our guests.
