Story

We got Nikey from Alaska Rescue. He’s a good dog with a lot of energy. He is 2 years old, he came from Barrow, AK. He isn’t the best on a leash but we have been working on it. Also getting him in and out of the car is challenging. He just never had to do so in Barrow. Treats definitely help! Nikey can sit and shake and knows how to take treats nice! I think a good home would be with a good yard fenced in. He’s great with people, kids, very loving, but certain dogs he loves and others not so much. I hate to see him go but with new job, I’ll be gone weeks at a time. I hope he gets to a good new home and we’ll be sad to have him go.

Red

Dachshund

Anchorage, AK

Size

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

Details

House-trained,

Story

Red is a brave young neutered dog seeking a patient and loving forever home. Previously abandoned and likely not treated kindly, he is ready for a safe and loving environment. He is house-trained and crate-trained. While he occasionally barks, he is learning to build confidence through positive reinforcement and consistent training. Gentle, predictable interactions will help him feel safe. A home that enjoys quiet time and understands the need to build trust gradually will be the best match. Red is doing well in his foster home and is quite loving and sweet. He is eager to learn, loves going for walks, sunning on the deck, and once secure is affectionate.

Special Needs

Musluk

Husky

Male, Adult

Eagle River, AK

Size

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

Details

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,

Story

Musluk is 3.5 years old, very sweet and just wants all the love you can give. We adopted him when he was 8 months old from a very rough home situation. He has anxiety about being alone, he needs to be in the same room as you. He has been the best dog ever, but we need to live a life that doesn’t revolve around our dog. Musluk needs constant companionship, and someone who can accommodate his quirks. He does seem to have some neurological issues, but it just shows through his anxiety. He is very sweet with kids but would be better suited to an home without the stress that kids can bring. Mus loves big dogs and playing outside. He doesn’t do well around small dogs or small animals. It breaks our hearts to let him go, but it is time to prioritize our family. If you think you might be a good fit for Musluk, please reach out. Just know that he is a special case. Some strict training might help him, but we have not been able to make that happen.

SOLAR

Chow Chow

Female, Adult

Fairbanks, AK

Size

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

Details

Story

Solar (A138744) is a 3-year-old Chow Chow mix who weighed 58.4 pounds on intake but is overweight. 06/23/25 This sweet girl is Solar! Solar arrived at the shelter with her friend Odie! They arrived at the shelter and were placed on a stray hold after being left at a pet sitter's home for an extended period. Their sitter had wonderful things to say about this duo and only wished them the best! They were stated to enjoy each otherâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s company and would love to find a home together. We are not making it a requirement that they be adopted together, but if you are looking for a pair, please consider these two! It was mentioned that Odie may have a higher prey drive and would do best in a home without smaller critters. Please ensure that you are always making slow, safe, and controlled introductions with all new animals to set them up for success. Both Solar and Odie were also stated to be housebroken and have done well at keeping their kennels clean and tidy at the shelter! We do not know Solarâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s and Odieâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s experience level around children. They have been wonderful with the care staff at the shelter! They are both high-energy dogs and are looking for homes that can keep them both mentally and physically stimulated. If you are interested in meeting Solar or possibly the duo that is Solar and Odie, please let us know! June 25, 2025, 10:03 pm
