Story
This post truly breaks my heart to write. We adopted our boy in July 2024, and he has been such a big cuddle bug with tons of energy and love to give. He has always been great with other dogs & been to groomers, dog parks, and has done wonderful in those settings. However, after our recent military move, he hasn't adjusted well. We have three kids and two other dogs (one of which is a puppy), and he has recently started showing aggression toward our puppy and my bitten anyone. This behavior is completely unlike him, and because of our busy household, I don't have the time or ability to work through these sudden changes safely. For everyone's well-being, including his, I've made the heartbreaking decision to rehome him. About Him: 3-year-old male bully vaccinations (records will be provided) Microchipped Has alopecia - coconut oil has worked great for his dry skin Sweet, cuddly, energetic, and loves attention

Story
At 14 years young, this neutered poodle mix named Bear has perfected the art of companionship. He’s calm, kindhearted, and hoping to spend his golden years in a home where he can relax, feel safe, and be cherished. He isn’t looking for anything extravagant — just a soft bed, a warm spot in the sun, and humans who appreciate the simple joy of having a loyal friend by their side. In return, he offers quiet companionship, soft eyes full of gratitude, and the kind of steady love that makes every day feel a little lighter. If you’re looking to open your heart to a senior who still has so much love to give, this gentle soul is ready to spend his retirement years with you. Bear comes with Sanctuary support so his health care needs are easily met. Bear is the perfect couch potato and will happily cuddle up with you for a movie marathon or a good nap in the sun. He's a low-key guy who just wants to hang out with his favorite people and maybe get some tasty treats along the way. He would prefer an adult household. A gentle friend would do nicely. Bear still has lots of love and kisses to give to the right person. Could that someone be you?

Chani

Shar Pei

Female, 6 yrs
Anchorage, AK
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Chani is a spirited, lovable girl born in the winter of 2019, and she’s been making people smile ever since. She’s an outdoors enthusiast at heart: nothing makes her happier than long, long, long walks in the woods where she can run free, sniff every new scent, and explore to her heart’s content. If you enjoy nature, she’ll be your perfect companion. When she’s not adventuring, Chani loves a good game of tug‑of‑war with her favorite human or zooming around a big yard with new dog friends. She gets along well with other dogs, though she’d likely thrive as the only pet in the home — she can be a bit protective of her toys and food, and she appreciates having her space respected. One of Chani’s most endearing quirks is her “talking.” She’s a vocal girl who isn’t shy about sharing her opinions. Her grumbles can sound a little like growls, but they’re really her way of saying, “I disagree,” or “I have thoughts about this.” Anyone who loves a dog with personality will adore her.

Duke is a young neutered male Lab–Husky mix with the best of both worlds: the Lab’s goofy, affectionate heart and the Husky’s playful, adventurous spirit. Although over a year old, he’s still got that puppy sparkle—curious about everything, quick to learn, and always ready for fun. He is social with other dogs but has had no cat experience that we are aware of. Dog walkers call him Mr. Happy! He gets along with everyone. He weighs 47 pounds.

This joyful, 10-year-old neutered male terrier mix named Chewy is looking for a new forever home. At 20 pounds, this gentle companion is fully house trained and crate trained.
