Story
Bear (A132238) is a 2-year-old GSD x Chow Chow mix who weighed 44.3 pounds on intake! 12/15/25 This shy but friendly guy is Bear! Bear was surrendered to the shelter due to no fault of his own, but because his owner was moving out of stated and unable to bring him with. Bear was said to be kennel-trained, housebroken, and rides well in a car! Bear was known to love to lounge on the couch but was used to being kenneled when left alone. Bear was said to do well with people of all ages including babies and children. However, he might bark if he hasnâ&#194&#128&#194&#153t met you yet. He was stated to do well with cats but has not had much experience with other dogs. Please ensure you are making slow, safe, and controlled introductions with all new animals to help set him up for success! Bear was known to be a bit of an opportunist and will get into the trash if left unsupervised. He was also known to be a talker and can even open doors. He is quite the character and would love to find his new people to love! If you are interested in meeting Bear, please let us know! 09/05/23 These four pups are eager to find their new places to call home! We do not know what all they are mixed with but believe the primary breeds are German Shepherd and Chow.

These pups can be a bit shy at first but once they have met you they become sweethearts and are very affectionate! They were said to have been working on crate and potty training in their prior home. They have also been working on a few basic commands but would still highly benefit from attending a basic obedience class to continue working on their manners and socialization! They were said to be curious of dogs and to do okay with cats in the past. Please ensure you are doing appropriate introductions with all new friends! If you are interested in meeting once of these pups and possibly making them a part of your family, please let us know!December 15, 2025, 5:34 pm

Zion is a Shiloh Shepherd, he is 6 yrs old, came in to the rescue because his owner had passed away. Zion is under-socialized with people, other dogs and new environments.

He has had a lot of changes and we are slowly working on his fear issues. Due to his fears he will not be adopted to a home with children or a home who plans to have children, preferably be the only dog, a very low key home environment without a lot of people coming and going.

Story
1.5 yr old Male German Shepherd, He is a super sweet boy who has a medical, genetic brain disorder, Mostly is affecting his memory. It's like every day is the first day in meeting him. It has taken him months before I could pet him. I am gaining trust with him, but that has taken a lot of time and understanding. This condition has made it difficult to get him to relax around new people. He has never shown aggression, he cowers or tries to hide. He has been in rescue a very long time and he is just now ok with me. He will need an owner who understands he needs time, a lot of time to become comfortable. His social behavior is not about you being a good person. He needs someone who is not going to be offended by his lack of trust with humans. Sad that, that needed to be said, but so many people have expectations on how a dog should behave around them because "every dog loves them" He needs a person who will not take it personal when he doesn't immediately seek out love and attention. He will need a number of visit here in Fairbanks before he can go on an overnight. With that said people living outside the Fairbanks area is not possible. Here is a link to see a video of him https://fb.watch/a_Kh5Kl5Sf/ Ideal home is a quiet one, not filled with a lot of people coming and going. He needs someone who does not have high expectations nor does he need someone who has a timeline scheduled for him to overcome his behavior. He needs someone that has the mindset of Here we are and you are welcome to take as much time as you need to trust me. Are you that person? If you are fill out an application to become an approved adopter. All adoption fees are $400 Please review our adoption process before filling out an application. MUST be at least 21 to adopt Adoption Information can be found on our website at www.agsrescue.com To see more photos and videos of the rescues visit the our facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/ArcticGermanShepherdRescue

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Riker (A140613) is a 9-month-old Belgian Malinois x GSD mix who weighed 57.6 pounds on intake! 12/15/25 This energetic pup is Riker! Riker was surrendered to the shelter in hopes of finding a home that would provide him with the outlets he needs. Riker was described as a very active boy who can be destructive. He is smart but can be stubborn. We encourage his next owner to work with a certified trainer to see what works best for him and to provide him with that extra mental stimulation. Riker was said to be kennel-trained, housebroken, and to ride well in vehicles. He was known to have a few young dog, naughty habits, like getting into the trash, counter surfing, and jumping on people. They felt Riker would do best in a home without young children due to his habit of jumping up and his rough style of play. It was also noted that he has a high prey drive and would play a bit too roughly with the cats in the home. Riker would do best in a home without small animals to help set him up for success. He was stated to do well with larger dogs that had a similar play style to him! Appropriate introductions are key to success! Riker was also known to be a super chewer and his next owner will want to invest in appropriate chew toys to keep him stimulated and out of trouble! Riker is a young dog looking for the right home that can keep him out of trouble! If you are up for the challenge, please let us know! December 15, 2025, 4:06 pm
