Story
Hello! I’m posting this sweet pup here because I have no choice :( A week or two ago Valentina (what my family calls her) broke into my backyard. She was nice to all my dogs, cats and kids but not nice to my chickens, sheep, and bunnies. She did kill a few chickens as we’ve tried to acclimate her to the farm dog life but it’s just not for her. She’s very kind to everything and everyone else but just not small animals. She loves to cuddle and loves loves attention from everyone. We have tried to walking on a leash and she does well. She’s just not a farm girl. She loves to swim in pools and rivers.We don’t have any history on her and she’s only been to the vet to look for a chip. We’d love for her to go to a loving home that will love her like she deserves!

Story
Alena is a nine year old Alaskan Malamute mix who is full of love and personality. While in high school, I rescued Alena when she was a year and a half old from a bad situation. She has lived inside and with love ever since. I am moving after college and unfortunately cannot find a place to accept her breed as a renter in my new location. I have exhausted all other options and it breaks my heart to give up my best friend of over seven years. Alena will be best fit with a female or couple in a home with a large fenced in back yard or land enough for her to roam on (no apartments please). She overheats easily in the summer and must be kept inside unless exercising. She loves to have someone at home and needs to go potty every six hours. She is wonderful with cats, but cannot be with other dogs. Note: Alena is up to date on her vaccines, spayed, and has no existing health problems. She is leash trained, but cannot be trusted to return off-leash.

Being a young pup, she has a bit of energy but as long as she has an area to play with toys and chase those tennis balls she's in her happy place. Serena Williams - watch out because Phoebe is on her way! Phoebe's adoption fee is $50. Adoption fees include age appropriate vaccines, HW test (dogs over 6 months), spay/neuter, deworming, microchip, and flea prevention applied. Est. Birthdate 7-28-2022
