AUSTRALIAN Sled Dog Tours, which spend much of their time in the Alpine and Mansfield shires, are looking for a new home.

With a pack of 45 very loveable dogs, owners Brett and Neesha Hadden have voiced concerns regarding what the pandemic means for not only their business, but also their dogs – many of which are rescue dogs.

“We’re looking for a place,” Brett said, explaining he is at risk of having to re-home his beloved dogs.

The pair has, for the last three years, been living on a friend's property in Mansfield Shire, however, the owner has recently put it up for sale.

The couple has been operating their sled dog tour business for seven years on Mount Buller, and 13 years at Mount Hotham and Dinner Plain.

Over the last year, Brett and Neesha’s biggest challenge hasn’t been keeping their dogs fit and healthy but the rapidly changing environment they have found themselves in.

“We have had to evacuate all the dogs twice in the last year because of the bushfires,” he said.

“From the fires to the coronavirus closing our business, and now having to find another place to live.

“It’s been a really tough year.

“We need to find something.”
