As far as I know, there is not a sled dog statue in Nome. There is a statue of a generic sled dog at the corner of Fourth Avenue and D Street in downtown Anchorage. The statue, very commonly mistaken for Balto, actually honors all the dogs that have run either the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race or the Fur Rendezvous (classed sprint races).

"Racing in the Footprint of a Legend," corner of Fourth Avenue and D Street This statue of a generic sled dog is a tribute to all the dogs that race down Fourth Avenue each winter (its nose is on the starting line for the Iditarod). While most sculptures in the downtown area are either the product of the municipality's One Percent for Art project or major corporations, "Racing in the Footprint of a Legend" is a gift from an individual. Perry Green, whose family has been in the fur business locally since 1922, said he wanted to give something back to the city that's been so good to his family. Local artist and dog-racing fan Bill Devine approached him with a drawing of a heroic sled dog representing all the race winners in the Iditarod and the Fur Rendezvous. Green liked it. He took the idea to his friend, Mayor Tom Fink, who also liked the idea. Green then wangled it through the various bureaucracies to get the necessary approval. Jacques and Mary Regat sculpted the final version of the dog (the original idea had the dog standing still; this one is running) and had it cast in an Oregon foundry. The project took about year from start to finish. How much does it cost for a private citizen to erect such a monument? Close to $40,000.
