In the video I say “PFD’s”. PFD’s are funds that every Alaska resident gets every year. Last year it was $3,200 per person- even children. So if you are a household with 2 kids and 2 parents, your PFD would be $3,200 times 4. It changes every year but I think it goes up every year. Read more about PFD’s Here
Also, they don’t have a vet here, so dogs don’t get spayed/neutered. Sometimes a volunteer will come in to do it though. Right now there are two litters of puppies and this puppy (the only survivor of his litter) that needs homes so they don’t starve, freeze or get shot. My roommate feeds all the starving dogs out of the back porch. She spends a lot of her own money on dog food. I ordered some bags to help out, but orders take a while to get here. This little puppy comes out when I go to let Manzo out. I’m going to anchorage for a training soon and I could take it on the plane with me and then ship it to whoever wants to adopt him while I’m there. There are also the two other litters of puppies available. Paws of Nome is an organization in Nome that tries to adopt out these dogs, so if there’s room on the plane, we can send dogs in crates to Nome. But we have to have crates, a way to get to the airport, and there has to be room on the airplane. I want to take all the dogs and all the kids home with me!

So sad! Are they skittish or just friendly? ❤️
Friendly but shy, some more than others. The one pictured here is still living outside. We need to get him sent out to paws of Nome too
