Story
Chewy (A141750) is a 5-year-old AK Husky who weighed 53 pounds on intake! 04/16/26 This lover boy is Chewy! Chewy was surrendered to the shelter with his friend Tequila! These kiddos have been living the outdoor sled dog life. They are used to living on a doghouse, so if you plan on transitioning them indoors, keep in mind they will need help with all the basics. However, they may be keen to learn! They have previously run a dog team, but their surrendering owner felt they may enjoy being on a smaller rec team or even becoming your skijor buddy. They are an active breed, so they will need continued mental and physical stimulation. Both Tequila and Chewy were said to do well with children, strangers, and adults. They also have historically done well with other dogs and livestock. Please ensure you are making appropriate introductions with all new people and other animals. If you are interested in meeting Chewy, please let us know! August 20, 2026, 11:50 pm

Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Leia (A117934) is a 7-year-old AK Husky x Lab mix who weighed 41.6 pounds on intake! 07/29/26 This pretty girl is Leia! Leia is back at the shelter due to no fault of her own and would love to find her new people to grow old with! She was described as an outgoing, friendly, and affectionate dog. She has experience with children 10-years and up and her surrendering owner felt she would probably do good with smaller kiddos, but may knock them over. Ensuring you are supervising interactions is important! Leia was also said to do well with other dogs and cats, but again, introductions are key! Leia was said to be kenneled, housebroken, rides well in car, and knows all her basic commands! She is a smart sweet girl! It was noted that she can be quite the talker! If you are interested in meeting Leia, please let us know! 12/04/25 This striking girl is Leia! Leia was surrendered to the shelter because she required urgent veterinary care. Leia had surgery for a bowel obstruction after eating paper towels. It is very important that she is supervised in her next home and does not have access to the trash! She is definitely an opportunist! We encourage her next owner to work on kennel training! We have found that Leia has had accidents in her kennel and may need some reminders on potty training when she settles into her new home. We do not know Leia’s experience level with children or other animals. Please ensure you are making appropriate introductions with new people and animals. As she is a husky, she may do best in a home without smaller critters that she may have the desire to chase. If you are interested in meeting Leia, please let us know! August 20, 2026, 11:50 pm

Chow Chow Husky

Male, Adult
Fairbanks, AK
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Winston (A142295) is a 1-year-and-6-month-old Chow Chow x AK Husky who weighed just over 65 pounds on intake! 07/18/26 Winston previously known as Cornelius is back at the shelter after a short adoption because the other dog in the home did not appreciate how energetic and playful he was. He was said to be house broken. He was also said to do well with any person he met including kids. He was said to enjoy playing with other dogs and may do well with another dog in the home that matches his high energy style. He was stated to be a very friendly and outgoing dog that loves meeting new people. If you are interested in meeting Winston, please let us know!06/01/26 This rambunctious boy is Cornelius! Cornelius arrived at the shelter as a stray and is now looking for his new place to call home. His finder did note that he was the neighborhood mascot and was frequently found running at large. He is looking for an owner who can keep him contained. Providing him with plenty of mental and physical stimulation is important to keeping him healthy and happy! When overstimulated, Cornelius can become a little mouthy but providing him with a toy can do wonders! We encourage his next owner to bring him to a basic obedience class with a certified trainer. We do not know if he has any obedience training or if he is housebroken. He has done decent at keeping his kennel clean, but has found that Cornelius will shred blankets if left unattended. If you are interested in meeting Cornelius, please let us know! August 20, 2026, 11:50 pm

ELECTRA

Labrador Retriever Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Young
Fairbanks, AK
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Electra (A142151) is a 10-month-old Lab x Pitbull mix who weighed 64.3 pounds on intake! 08/13/26 This exuberant pup is Electra! Electra was surrendered to the shelter and is looking for her new home. She is a young girl with a lot of energy and looking for some stability and guidance in her life. She is a very sweet girl, but does not always understand her size. She was known to be a bit like a bowling ball when small children get in her path. However, she was said to be nice to kiddos, but will knock them down accidentally. She was also said to do well with strangers and adults, but will jump up. Electra was said to do well with other dogs, but did have one little scuffle when rotisserie chicken was involved. Please keep this in mind if you are feeding high-value food items. She was said to like to chase after the cat and play a bit too roughly. Most cats would probably not appreciate her enthusiasm. Electra is still working on her basic commands and potty training. She is looking for a patient owner who will continue working with her. Electra was said to ride well in a car and know the command sit (especially when treats are involved)! They did find that Electra can jump 4ft fences, but did not think she would be able to make it over a 5-foot fence. She should be supervised when in a fenced-in yard. If you are interested in meeting Electra, please let us know! August 20, 2026, 11:50 pm

SUKI

Husky Hound (Unknown Type)

Female, Young
Fairbanks, AK
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Suki (A142906) is an 8-month-old AK Husky x Hound mix who weighed 34.3 pounds on intake! 07/29/26 This little lady is Suki! Suki is a bit on the skittish side and is looking for a home with the patience to work with her. It was noted that she has separation anxiety and can become destructive if left alone. We encourage her next owner to reach out to their vet for advice on the best ways to help her with her anxiety. Suki was known to enjoy digging outdoors and is a super chewer – she will defluff fabric toys quickly and loves gnawing on silicone hard toys! In typical husky fashion, Suki was known to be quite the talker. It was noted that she is an indoor dog, but is not housebroken or kennel-trained yet. Suki was said to do well with other dogs and was described as submissive. When it comes to cats, in typical husky fashion she finds them fun to chase (which not all kitties appreciate). Please ensure you are making slow, safe, and controlled introductions with all new animals. Suki may be a bit of a project pup, but she is a young girl with lots of potential for the right person! If you are interested in meeting Suki, please let us know! August 20, 2026, 11:50 pm

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Pike (A140927) is a 2-year-old AK Husky x Pointer mix who weighed 45.4 pounds on intake!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 – 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 – 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!
