Story

Precious may not have had the easiest start in life, but you would never know it from her joyful spirit. Before coming to the shelter, she spent most of her life in a home with many other dogs, often having to compete for food and attention. Despite that, Precious has never let her past define her. Today, she’s a happy, wiggly girl who greets each day with a smile and reminds us just how resilient dogs truly are. She absolutely adores people and will happily soak up every scratch, cuddle, and bit of attention you have to offer. Her favorite place is outside, whether she’s lounging in the sunshine, chasing toys, or taking a gentle stroll. Because of her past, Precious has participated in many dog meet-and-greets at the shelter as an effort to get a better idea of her comfort levels! She is polite and friendly with other dogs. Precious enjoys all canine games including a good game of chase, tug or good old fashioned wrestling—she has been doing wonderfully with the dogs in her foster home! We will be requiring a dog meet and greet prior to adopting if there are fellow canine friends in your home! Precious has appeared potty trained in her foster home. It can be difficult to know for certain in a shelter environment, and with a consistent routine in a home, she has been thriving. She already knows the cue “sit,” walks nicely on a leash, and every now and then gets the cutest little zoomies when she’s extra excited! Precious is such a kind-hearted girl. She has missed out on so much already, and now she’s simply looking for someone willing to give her the time, patience, and love she has always deserved. In return, she’ll give you a lifetime of loyalty, gentle companionship, and endless wiggles. We know her brightest days are still ahead—and we can’t wait for the right family to help her write that next chapter.

Alexandria has been a friend to everyone she’s met. She enjoys meeting new people but has a peaceful, easygoing nature that makes every moment with her feel relaxing. She’s happiest taking life at a slower pace—whether that’s enjoying a leisurely stroll, soaking up the sunshine, or leaning in for plenty of scratches from her favorite people. She has a friendly and respectful demeanor towards the other dogs and is always willing to say hi. We can always provide a dog meet and greet if needed! Alexandria had done great during all dog meet and greets so far! She appears to be potty trained, as she keeps her kennel nice and clean. Alexandria also walks beautifully on a leash and knows the cue “sit.” More than anything, she loves being close to her people. Whether she’s quietly walking beside you or simply resting at your feet, she finds comfort in connection and companionship.

Lela

Husky

Female, 2 yrs

Palmer, AK

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Story

Lela is currently in a foster home. If you’re interested in meeting her, please give us a call so we can coordinate with her foster family!Sweet Lela has spent much of her young life searching for the stability every dog deserves. We first met her when she was just six months old after she was surrendered to the shelter. Like everyone who loved her, we hoped her first adoption would be her forever home. Through no fault of her own, Lela has found herself looking for that special family once again. Fortunately, Lela has been able to decompress in a wonderful foster home, and it has been a joy watching her true personality emerge. The busy shelter environment was simply overwhelming for her, but in a home she blossoms into the goofy, carefree, and incredibly loving girl we always knew was there. While she’s naturally gentle, she’s become so much more confident once given the chance to settle in. Lela has done beautifully with other dogs. She’s respectful, kind, and does a wonderful job reading other dogs’ boundaries. She appreciates companions with a similar gentle play style, and we think she’d enjoy having a canine friend in her future home. As always, we’re happy to provide a dog meet and greet before adoption if needed. Lela will thrive best with regular exercise and playtime. She appreciates the great outdoors and playing a game of fetch! She also has excellent manners. Lela is potty trained, walks nicely on a leash, knows the cues “sit,” “down,” and “shake,” and has done very well in a crate. She seems to appreciate having a safe, quiet space where she can relax and unwind. It’s important to remember that Lela will need a little time to adjust to a new home. She may be shy at first, but patience, consistency, and kindness go a long way with her. Once she feels safe, her affectionate personality shines through. She loves being close to her people, happily soaking up attention and enjoying the comfort of simply being together. Lela is the kind of dog whose heart is worth earning. If you’re willing to give her the time she needs to settle in, you’ll be rewarded with a loyal, gentle companion who has so much love to give.

Yukon

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, 9 mos

Palmer, AK

Size

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

Details

Story

Yukon may have missed out on some of the experiences that most dogs get to have growing up, but that hasn’t stopped this sweet boy from showing us just how much potential he has. His life before the shelter wasn’t the easiest, especially for a young and impressionable dog, so Yukon is still learning that the world can be a safe and wonderful place. Yukon is incredibly sweet and has a naturally submissive personality when meeting new people. While he is comfortable and happy with the shelter staff he knows, he prefers when new people take things slow and give him a little time to warm up. Once he trusts you, you get to see the wiggly, happy Yukon we know and love! This boy absolutely thrives with structure and routine. Even in the shelter, he has done wonderfully with potty training, and we think he will flourish with a consistent routine and a little more structure than we’re able to provide here. He has also been working hard on his leash walking skills and learning basic cues like “sit” and “wait.” Yukon is an active young dog who will benefit from positive outlets for his energy, along with a person who is willing to provide gentle guidance, patience, and encouragement. He doesn’t need someone to rush him—he needs someone who will meet him where he is and help him discover everything he is capable of. Yukon previously lived with multiple other dogs and no issues were reported. However, shelter life can be stressful, and he has become a little anxious when surrounded by numerous dogs. Slow, thoughtful introductions will be important, and we want Yukon to feel safe and secure as he gets to know his potential canine friends. For a guy who is still catching up on some of the things other dogs have already learned, we couldn’t be more impressed with Yukon. He is trying, he is learning, and he is showing us more of his personality every day. All we want is to give this sweet boy the chance to succeed—and we truly believe his best days are still ahead of him.
