Story
Leo was adopted at 8 weeks. He is currently 3yrs old. I got him from a litter of 8. The old man was looking to get rid of all his puppies. Leo is a very cheerful and playful dog. He’s pretty self sufficient but loves getting attention. He listens to commands very well and can sometimes get sidetracked by environmental distractions. I’m looking for someone active to give him the daily physical activity that he requires. Only reason I’m giving him up is because I’m moving and can’t find a place to accommodate his breed. Please feel free to reach out to me about any questions or concerns you might have.

Sammy

Labrador Retriever Mutt

Male, Adult
JBER, AK
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Sammy is an amazing lab mix who would make a great dog for an individual or a family with older kids. His favorite things are playing fetch and chewing a bone on the couch. He is four years old, up-to-date on shots, and very healthy. Sammy is crate trained, house trained, and loves learning new tricks. However he struggles with some leash reactivity around other dogs and has not done great with our infant son. He can be a bit exuberant when meeting new people but quickly settles when played with. Sammy is a very loyal dog and is being rehomed through no fault of his own. It breaks my heart to do but he is too much around our son and so not getting the attention or exercise he deserves. We really want him to go to the right home so the fee could be waived if we felt it was the right person. Sammy comes with his crate, toys, leash, bowls, and food.

Chani

Shar Pei

Anchorage, AK
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Not 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 outside the home but needs to be the only pet at 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.
