Gale

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, Adult

Palmer, AK

Size

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

Details

Story

Gale is a very sweet, kind-hearted boy with a gentle soul and a wonderful go with the flow personality. We’ve truly loved getting to know him during his time at the shelter. Gale came to us as a stray, so much of his past is unknown, but what we do know is that he’s been a delight. He’s friendly with other dogs and mostly prefers to mind his own business, politely keeping to himself. We do encourage a dog meet-and-greet prior to adoption to help ensure a smooth introduction to any potential canine friends. With a medium energy level, Gale enjoys exploring the outdoors and going for nice walks — though his feet can get cold quickly! He’s happy to play with a stuffie or work on enrichment toys, but he’s just as content spending quality time with his people. Gale has excellent manners and walks beautifully on leash. He appears to be potty trained and already knows several cues including sit, down, shake, and wait. Based on his calm behavior in his kennel, we suspect he may also be crate trained. Please keep in mind that he will need time to adapt to his new home! Gale’s attentive nature and gentle heart make him the kind of loyal companion everyone dreams of. We absolutely adore him and know that once you meet Gale, you will too.

Lloyd

Shar Pei

Male, 2 yrs 7 mos

Palmer, AK

Size

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

Details

Story

Seriously… just look at this guy! Lloyd isn’t a breed we see often at the shelter, so we’ll admit we were a little extra excited when he strutted in with all those wrinkles! Lloyd is friendly, with a sweet personality but he can be a tad shy at first; it doesn’t take long before his sweet personality shows. He came to us with his buddy Reese, and the two previously lived together—they truly get along wonderfully. Here in the shelter, Lloyd has been calm and non-reactive toward other dogs, so he may enjoy having a canine companion in his new home as well. As always, we’re happy to provide a meet-and-greet to help everyone get acquainted. One of Lloyd’s absolute favorite things in the world? Butt scratches. Give him a good scratch and you’ll be rewarded with the cutest wiggles you’ve ever seen. He absolutely melts for attention and loves being close to his people. Lloyd appears to be potty trained, walks nicely on a leash, and already knows “sit.” We’re confident he’d pick up more tricks easily—he’s attentive and eager to please. He enjoys quality time, simple joys, and a balance of playfulness without being overwhelming. Because we’re not sure if Lloyd has lived with children or small animals, we recommend slow, thoughtful introductions to set everyone up for success. Lloyd is just a sweet, lovable boy looking for a family who appreciates his gentle heart, charming wiggles, and desire to be someone’s special companion. If you think Lloyd might be your perfect match, we’d love for you to meet him!

Bubs

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, 1 yr 6 mos

Palmer, AK

Size

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

Details

Story

Bubs is seriously one rad dog with a big personality and an even bigger heart. He came to us as a stray, and we were honestly shocked that no one came forward to claim such a wonderful boy. From the moment you meet him, it’s clear that Bubs lives for attention — and once he’s gotten his fill of love, you’re sure to be entertained by his adorable mini zoomies! Bubs is a medium-energy to active guy who will thrive in a home that can offer him positive outlets for his energy. While he thinks toys are fun, he truly prefers one-on-one playtime and interaction with his people. He’s not overbearing, but he’s also not shy about asking for affection or encouraging you to get up and move with him! This wiggly boy has a friendly demeanor when meeting other dogs and does best with proper introductions. He’s remained happy and social during his time with us, and dog meet-and-greets can be provided prior to adoption if needed! Despite all the excitement and zoomies, Bubs has great manners. He appears to be potty trained, walks fantastically on a leash, and knows the cues “sit” and “shake.” Bubs is truly a fun-loving, life-of-the-party kind of dog whose playful yet gentle nature could make him a loyal and joyful companion in many homes.

Baby

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, 3 yrs

Palmer, AK

Size

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

Details

Story

True to her name, Baby is a total cuddle bug who loves being right in the middle of whatever you’re doing. She adores affection, praise, and being pampered, and she’s happiest when she’s spending time with her people. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who wants to be your shadow, Baby is your girl. Baby is both potty trained and crate trained. While she may cry a little when left alone, she has not been destructive, and having plenty of toys and enrichment helps her stay content. She walks nicely on a leash and is quite the smart cookie, knowing cues such as “sit,” “down,” “treat,” “come,” “leave it,” and “okay.” This sweet girl definitely has a princess personality and prefers to be the center of your world. Baby has had positive interactions with other dogs; however, her previous owner noted that she may not always get along with female dogs, as she can have a more dominant side. She should also not be placed in a home with small animals, including cats, as she has a strong chase instinct. All introductions should be done slowly and thoughtfully to ensure the best possible outcome! Baby is incredibly loving and has proven to be a devoted companion. After experiencing multiple transitions and finding herself in the shelter, she will need a little time and patience to adjust to her new home. With understanding and love, Baby is sure to blossom into a wonderful, loyal family member.

Pete

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, 2 yrs

Palmer, AK

Size

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

Details

Story

Pete is a friendly, affectionate boy with a classic wiggle-butt greeting and a heart full of love. A true cuddler at his core, Pete prefers spending most of his time indoors soaking up comfort and companionship, but is just as playful! He’s fully potty trained and will politely let you know when he needs to go outside by waiting at the door and giving a little whine. Pete is crate trained and can be left home alone for 8–12 hours. He may be a bit vocal when left by himself, but overall he’s a well-mannered and trustworthy companion. One of Pete’s favorite things? Bath time and car rides — he’s always happy to tag along for an adventure or a spa day! This smart boy knows an impressive list of cues, including “sit,” “down,” “off,” “come,” “leave it,” “wait,” “touch,” “bed,” “inside,” and “outside.” When he’s not showing off his skills, Pete enjoys being an affectionate couch potato who loves playing with balls, ropes, and durable chew toys. Pete does have some noise sensitivities and can become fearful during loud sounds like fireworks or gunshots, so a gentle and understanding home would be ideal. While it’s unknown how he does with unfamiliar dogs, Pete has been great with new people and children and previously lived peacefully with his cat siblings! Pete has had a friendly demeanor towards other dogs and could do well with a canine friend. We could always provide a dog meet and greet if needed! When meeting someone new, Pete may get a little vocal at first — until he gets that first pet, then he’s all smiles and wiggles! Pete is a loving, loyal companion who would thrive in a home ready to give him comfort, patience, and plenty of affection.

Story

Reese is a very friendly girlie who enjoys staying connected to her people. She is happiest when she has some company and is always overjoyed when someone stoops to her level to give her some love. Reese was brought to the shelter with her friend Lloyd and the two previously lived together—they truly get along wonderfully. Reese has not been reactive towards other dogs in the shelter and may enjoy a friend in her new home! We can always provide a dog meet and greet prior to adopting if needed! Reese loves attention; she has done great with all kinds of handling and has proven to be incredibly gentle and sweet. Reese’s favorite thing is probably being hugged on, like we mentioned before, she really does become extra wiggly when people sit down with her at her level! Reese appears to be potty trained, walks nicely on a leash and knows some basic cues. Reese is a people pleaser at heart so we can`t imagine it being too difficult to teach her more! Please keep in mind that Reese will need time to adapt to her new home, but her happy go lucky attitude leads us to believe she will do great! Reese is playful and will be happiest with having a positive outlet for her energy. Though she is not overbearing, regular stimulation will be key for her success! Because we’re not sure if Reese has lived with children or small animals, we recommend slow, thoughtful introductions to set everyone up for success! Reese is such a fun and loveable girl who could make a great addition to most homes. We would love for you to meet her!
