Sorcha, this is from her site, which I linked above:

"So many of you have offered homes and help with the dogs- both temporary and permanent-THANK YOU. The dogs thank you too. The dog mushing community should be proud- what a great group of people! We already knew this but you have proved it yet again. All of the dogs are doing great. We have placed a few with friends and the rest are staying here at home in Fairbanks with our terrific live in handler. Their training schedule is right on track and they are all doing well so we are all set for dog placement for now. We will be posting more info on the dogs on this site in the future."

There was the advantage, such as it is, of some time to make some plans for the dogs, I suppose.
