Story
Dozer is currently the shelter`s longest resident without having a break from the shelter and we are amazed by his humble and happy spirit. Dozer has a great personality and is so much fun to get to know. Dozer is by far one of the smartest dogs we have in shelter! He knows MANY cues and always gives people a good laugh when showing them all off. Our favorite cues he knows are “high five” and “speak”! He does know all of the basic cues and is currently working on “roll over”. Additionally, Dozer is potty trained, crate trained and he does walk well on a leash, but he may need a moment to get all of his excitement out! He loves to be praised and is eager to please his people. Dozer loves to play and will even play by himself when alone. His favorite toys have been anything with a great squeaker! Dozer was surrendered because his family’s schedule was too busy for him. Dozer is a dog who loves enrichment and will be happiest with regular exercise! This does not have to mean running miles each day - playtime that includes his people and toys make him happy too! Dozer comes from a BIG family that had many children and he did great with them. He is gentle, snuggly and loyal. Dozer is a social butterfly and has yet to meet someone he doesn’t like! Dozer is said to do well with other dogs and enjoys playing. With spending much time in the shelter Dozer has grown impatient towards rambunctious dogs though. We can always provide a dog meet and greet and we know Dozer would appreciate having a proper introduction! In his previous home Dozer was very curious of the kitties and though he never harmed them he would chase them. So that Dozer can thrive in his new home he should not be adopted into a home with small animals! Please know that Dozer has spent a month in the shelter and will need time to decompress in his new home.Dozer deserves to find his forever home. We adore him and truly believe that he is a terrific dog. If you do decide to meet Dozer, we know you’ll adore him too!

Labrador Retriever Husky

Male, 5 yrs 1 mo

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

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Apollo was an owner surrender and unfortunately we don’t know the reason why. Apollo has been a little shut down in the shelter, but is appreciative of the time he spends with staff and volunteers! Apollo has been very sweet and seems to have a gentle personality. He can be submissive at times, which can be mistaken as fearful, but Apollo has done well with meeting new people! It is unknown if Apollo has lived with children or other animals. Please be sure to bring your little ones with you when you come to meet him! Small children that may yell, run around him or try to climb on him when first meeting will be overwhelming for Apollo. Apollo has not been reactive towards other dogs in the shelter - he mostly ignores the other dogs and doesn’t appear to be looking for a playmat! Though, he does always have a friendly demeanor when seeing them. We do recommend a dog meet and greet prior to adopting. Apollo has been a very well mannered boy. He is potty trained, walks great on a leash and knows a few basic cues including “sit” and “down”. We believe Apollo may also be crate trained due to how well behaved he is when kenneled! He is pretty mellow, but keep in mind that he does like to get out at least once a day. Apollo loves regular walks and is so happy to be out in the sun!If Apollo sounds like he would be a great fit for your home we would love for you to come by and meet him!

Sula

Great Pyrenees Husky

Female, Young
Palmer, AK
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
HI! My name is Sula. I’m a 2-year-old, female Great Pyrenees / Husky mix, spayed and up-to-date on all my shots. My good points, if I do say so myself: I’m beautiful, I don’t stink or drool, I do tricks for treats, and come when I’m called. I’m an obedient, good girl and very tolerant of life with my sedentary grandparents, even though I would love to run and play a whole lot more. I get along well with my pack-mates: an older dog and a large cat who is the house boss. I know how to behave inside, and I don’t damage things or bark too much 
(unless it is the garbage truck which should *not* be allowed to exist). When my family comes home, I howl with joy. My less than good points: I’m not the best dog for children. I’m wary of new people. Even though I’m eager to meet them, it takes me a while to warm up. My ideal family would be experienced with large dogs and know how to continue my training. I really wish for an active family, or one with a fenced yard.

Story
Marley is a very sweet, playful and happy girl. She loves spending time with her people and has an easy going personality! Marley is a great mixture of cuddly and playful. She loves gentle hugs and is always more than happy to be petted! Marley will be happiest with regular exercise and could benefit from a big yard of her own to play in. Her favorite thing to do is play outside! Marley has lived with children and was said to do great with them. She is truly a social butterfly! Marley was surrendered due to food aggression- it is unclear if Marley or the other dog in the home had food aggression. Either way, it will be important for Marley to have her own space and bowls when eating! During her time in the shelter Marley has been friendly towards other dogs. She has a friendly demeanor when seeing them and usually play bows! We can provide a dog meet and greet prior to adoption if needed. It is unknown if Marley has lived with cats or other small animals, but considering that she is a husky we do believe she may chase them! Marley is well mannered. She is potty trained and crate trained. Her most recent owners only had her for a short time but never knew her to be destructive! Marley also walks well on a leash and knows the cues “sit”, “stay”, “down”, “heel” and “come”. Marley is such a good girl and we have loved getting to know her better. If you would be a good fit for Marley we would love for you to come meet this sweet girl!

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Champ arrived to the shelter as a stray and unfortunately was not picked up by his owners. It is unknown if Champ has lived with other animals or children. During his time in the shelter he has been very friendly, tolerable of all kinds of handling and is always happy to go wherever it is we’re going! Champ has good manners and is a very good boy. He does appear to be potty trained, but is asking for grace while he learns your routine! Champ knows his basic cues and walks well on a leash. He is typically interested in everything around him when going on a walk and does tend to let his nose lead the way though! Champ has done well around the other dogs, but can be standoffish towards other males dogs sometimes, especially if they appear rambunctious. He may do best with a female friend, but we can provide a dog meet and greet for anyone if needed! Champ is a large, lovable guy who is hoping to find his forever home. If he sounds like the guy for you we would love for you to come by and meet him!

Story
Kiba did arrive to the shelter as a stray and unfortunately was never picked up by his previous owner. Kiba has been friendly towards other dogs and appears to want to play! We can always provide a dog meet and greet if needed. Introductions to new animals should be taken slowly for the best outcome! Kiba is a very sweet and happy boy. He loves getting outside to play and is always happy to make a new friend! Kiba has medium energy and will be happiest with regular exercise. Balls and stuffies have been his toys of choice. Kiba has done well with handling and loves all the attention he can get. He has been gentle with taking treats and loves to learn! Kiba appears to be potty trained, but is asking for grace while he is adapting to his new home. He also walks well on a leash and knows his basic cues including “sit”, “down” and “shake”. Kiba could make a great adventure buddy and has a go with the flow attitude. He has been a blast to have in the shelter, but it is his time to find his forever home!
