Cinder (M)

Cinder is a big, spunky yearling with gorgeous coloration and baby blue eyes. Like his littermates, he was born to pull and loves to run. He is very smart and attentive, so there are high hopes of him becoming a great lead dog. He just needs to focus his enthusiasm on learning commands instead of bouncing around his kennel and knocking down kennel staff!

Moose may appreciate an increase in woody vegetation  

Did You Know?
Warmer average temperatures over several decades have resulted in expansion of woody vegetation. If this warming trend continues, it will change Alaska's ecosystems and drastically alter the physical appearance of Denali's landscape, as treeline marches higher up the mountains.
