Story
Chena (A140484) is a 3-year-old Bloodhound x Lab mix who weighed 61.4 pounds on intake! 12/04/25 This pretty girl is Chena! Chena is a shy but friendly girl who is looking for her a new loving home. Surrendering her was very difficult decision, but they only wanted the best for Miss Chena! Chena was said to be kennel-trained, housebroken, and to know her basic commands. It was noted that she gets anxious on car rides. We encourage her next owner to speak with their vet or a certified trainer on ways to help build her confidence in life and in a car! She was described as a sweet and very energetic dog! Chena was said to do well with children but was known to bark at new people (especially men) until she has been able to properly greet them. Chena was also said to bark at dogs and has no experience with cats or pocket pets. Please ensure you are making slow, safe, and controlled introductions to help set her up for success. Chena has been a bit on the nervous side and is looking for a home that can take their time with her and help her feel at ease. If you are interested in meeting Chena, please let us know!

Story
Alma is a very loving, smart and energetic puppy. She has lots of love to give. She is a toddler and has a lot more training to do. She is under 1 years old. She is very high energy and I would only recommend her to anyone that has a nice fenced in yard where she can take all her energy out. Alma along with her litter mates were found on the streets of Anchorage. She was a very starving puppy. Her breed is unknown but I suspect that she is a lab mix. She does have some behavioral issues due to the fact that she came from tough beginnings. She can get leash aggressive and has some resource guarding. However her progress with her resource guarding has come far as food hasn't been an insecurity while she has been with me. I love Alma and she I a very good dog, but my living situation and life style is unfair for her high energy. I work a lot leaving Alma at home in her kennel is very unfair to her. Especially at such a young age. She is going to be a great dog she loves hiking and the na

Story
Zeus (A137654) is an 11-month-old AK Husky who weighed 32.7 pounds on intake! Medical update: On arrival at the shelter Zeus was exhibiting symptoms of an upper respiratory infection and was started on antibiotics. He has improved immensily and was cleared for adoption! 11/27/25 This happy boy is Zeus! Zeus was surrendered to the shelter because his owner was moving, and they found him â&#194&#128&#194&#156non-trainableâ&#194&#128&#194&#157. Zeus is super sweet and hoping to find a home that can be patient with him and help him learn. He was said to have spent most of his time in his kennel; however, we donâ&#194&#128&#194&#153t think he is fully kennel-trained. He was said not to be housebroken but does seem to understand that he should potty when outdoors. He will need continued work with potty training. Getting him on a schedule with frequent outings and praise will do him wonders! Zeus was said to do great with people of all ages including babies and children. He was said to need an adjustment period when meeting new dogs and has no experience smaller critters. Please keep in mind that huskies are known for having a high prey drive if you have those smaller critters at home. Slow, safe, and controlled introductions are key! Zeus was said to know the command sit and to ride well in a car. However, he was also known to jump on counters, be vocal, and chew on things. He is a young boy, looking for some continued guidance. He would probably love to be your skijor or bikjoring buddy! If you are interested in meeting Zeus, and have that time, energy, and patience to devote to him, please let us know! 02/27/25 This adventurous group of pups were surrendered to the shelter and are eager awaiting their new homes! Puppies are a lot of work and a large responsibility. They will need continued help with potty training, kennel training, basic commands, and continued positive socialization. As these pups grow, they also need a home that can keep them both mentally and physically stimulated, as huskies are an active breed. They truly are adventure pups! If you are interested in meeting any of these sweet pups, please let us know! December 1, 2025, 7:46 pm
