FALKOR

German Shepherd Dog Australian Cattle Dog

Male, Adult

Fairbanks, AK

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Falkor (A143739) is a German Shepherd x Cattle Dog mix who weighed 53.1lbs on intake!10/10/26 Falkor was brought to the shelter because his previous family didn't feel they could keep up with him. He is a high-energy and intelligent dog who really needs a regular outlet that activates his brain and body. He is a german shepard cattle dog mix and whoever adopts him should do their research on these breeds to see if they can keep up with the high demand these breeds require. He was said to be affectionate, shy but friendly, gentle when playing though he can be rough if played with roughly. He is housebroken, rides well in the car, and minds well unless he's not getting enough outlet. He is also a runner. So he needs to be on a leash outside. He can be loud but does love dog friends and was raised with cats and plays well with them! He also does well with children and does okay with babies if monitored. He has been exposed to livestock but get's anxious around them. He has no experience with pocket pets. He is also being monitored for a tracheal tear. We are recommending considering getting radiographs at the vet to confirm he healing. Until then we are walking him exclusively with a harness. If Falkor sounds like he could be your puppy please give the shelter a call!November 5, 2026, 11:33 pm

Story

Hanko (A143956) is a 4-year-old Chow mix who weighed 56.1 pounds on intake! 10/27/26 This is Miss Hanko! Hanko was surrendered to the shelter and is looking for her new place to call home! She was said to be kennel-trained and housebroken! She also seems to know the command sit! Hanko was noted to have a shy side, but we have found that she warms up with positive reassurance and plenty of treats! She does have a few naughty quirks like getting into the trash and jumping on counters. She was also said to be a bit of a runner and will jump a fence. She should always be on a leash, on a secure tie-out, or supervised when in a fenced-in yard. We do not know her experience level with children or other animals. Please ensure you are making slow, safe, and controlled introductions with all new people and animals. However, we do know she lived with other dogs. Haniko also had a pretty bad ear infection when she got to the shelter. She was seen and had it treated by the shelter vet. It is a good idea for her next owner to monitor her ears. If you are interested in meeting Hanko, please let us know!November 5, 2026, 11:33 pm

CHOCO

German Shepherd Dog

Male, Young

Fairbanks, AK

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Choco (A140154) is a 1-year-and-2-month-old GSD mix who weighed 79 pounds at intake!10/15/26 Choco and Ghost were surrendered to the shelter due to no fault of their own. Their adoptive owner had to leave town, and the pet sitter could no longer care for them. Their owner felt it was in the dog's best interest to come back to the shelter. They are both young rambunctious dogs hoping to find the right fit. They were known to get into trouble if left on their own. They are looking for homes that provide plenty of mental and physical stimulation to keep them busy and out of mischief! If you are interested in meeting Choco, Ghost, or the pair, please let us know! 03/03/26 Choco was initially redeemed last week after initially being surrendered. Sadly, they had to make the difficult choice to follow through with his surrender. It was also noted at this surrender that Choco can be destructive inside if left unattended and does have a rough style of play that not all dogs appreciate. As previously mentioned, making appropriate introductions is key to success and understanding that not all dogs appreciate that type of playstyle. If you are interested in meeting Choco, please let us know! 02/25/26 Choco is back at the shelter looking for his fresh start! While in his last home, he was described as an outgoing, friendly, and affectionate pup with a playful demeanor. He has had no experience around children, but was said to do well with strangers and adults. If you have children in the home, please ensure you are making appropriate introductions and supervising interactions, as Choco is still very much a puppy. He was said to be a chewer, so providing him with appropriate outlets for his energy and chew toys is important! Choco was said to be kenneled when his owners were not home. We do not know if he is fully housebroken but he was said to bark when he needs to go outside. Please keep in mind that there is always an adjustment period as he settles into his new home and routine. Choco was also said to do well with other dogs but has not been socialized with smaller critters like cats or pocket pets. Please ensure you are making appropriate introductions with all new animals to help continue setting him up for success. Choco has been a sweet boy and would love to find his new people to love. If you are interested in meeting Choco, please let us know! 11/08/25 These adorable pups were brought to the shelter as strays after being found at the Fox Transfer Site in a kennel. We have no idea the true mix of breeds in these puppies, but we believe they are shepherd mixes with maybe some pittie and maybe some husky too! These pups have been very outgoing and friendly while at the shelter! Puppies can be a lot of work, particularly with training. It would be a great start to enroll them in a puppy class with a certified trainer to set them up for success! If you are interested in meeting any of these cuties, please give us a call!November 5, 2026, 11:33 pm

TWO

Husky Pointer

Male, Adult

Fairbanks, AK

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Two (A140929) is a 5-year-old AK Husky x Pointer mix who weighed 50.8 pounds on intake!Foster update: We have been fostering Four and his brother Two. They are sweet and wonderful dogs. Four is a VERY active dog accustomed to living outdoors on a tether with a house, as is typical for sled dogs. He enjoys being in a dog yard and being able to say hello to his neighbors and play with them. He is very friendly to humans and dogs alike and loves playtime in our free-run pen. He is more shy than his brother but has warmed up to us more and more. He loves to run and does well in harness - both him and his brother have great athletic builds and lots of potential as sled dogs. Four is always moving, which has made it hard to get a good photo of him! Four is also an eager eater and loves meal time. I have been introducing him to bikejoring and he picked it up quickly so there is lots of potential for him to be an awesome bikejor/skijor dog. I think Four would do best in a home where he can primarily remain outside on a tether with a proper house, as this is how he is most comfortable, while slowly being introduced to the indoors. I think he would also like a home with another dog(s) he can be buddies with. He should also not be trusted to be loose unless in a secure fenced area. Potential adopters should be familiar with sled dogs and be ready to provide active outlets and secure housing for him.01/22/26 These eager-to-go pups were surrendered to the shelter because their owner is facing some medical concerns and is unable to provide them with the lifestyle they need. They are working dogs and were said to be wonderful sled dogs! All these pups were stated to get along well with other dogs and are great pullers. They are accustomed to living out on a dog house but were said to have enjoyed coming inside during that super cold snap. However, they are not housebroken, and if you do plan on transitioning them to indoors, they will need help adjusting to indoor living âÂÂ potty training, kennel training, basic commands, etc. They know mushing commands but that is about it. They would love to join a rec team or even to become your adventure buddy if you live an active lifestyle âÂÂ skijoring, bikejoring, or even becoming your hiking buddy! Anything to keep them both mentally and physically stimulated so they stay out of trouble! If you are interested in meeting any of this crew or possibly the whole gang, please let us know!

*CRUISE CONTROL

Husky

Male, Adult

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Cruise Control (A143844) is a 4-year-old AK Husky who weighed 57 pounds on intake!10/23/26 These boys are Cruise Control and Overdrive! They arrived at the shelter as strays when they were found running down the road in North Pole and eagerly jumped into the finderâÂÂs car! Sadly, no owner came forward, so they are now looking for their new homes. While at the shelter they both have done well at keeping their kennels clean (accident free). However, we have found that they love to chew and toys are a must! Cruise Control has also had some wrappers pass through his stool so we suspect that he would get into the trash if the opportunity presented itself. With adopting, please keep in mind there is always that transition time as your new pet settles into their home. If you are interested in meeting Cruise Control or Overdrive, please let us know!
