My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Name: Alaska
Nicknames: Allie. Crazy Lady. Sweet Baby.
Breed: Heeler/Shepherd mix
Sex: Female
Age: 4 months
Current Weight: 26 lbs.
Before OMD: She and her siblings were born in an oilfield. Mom and puppies were all rescued and Alaska was transferred to OMD (in a CT foster home) from a Southern rescue partner.
Energy Level: Medium-High. She's not totallllly insane, but sometimes we do wonder how a 5-minute recharge begets a 2-hour play sesh.
Affection level: Also medium-high. Just make sure she gets her playtime and zoomies first!
What we love most: She’s incredibly smart. Her undecided ears. Her love for other dogs. The way she dramatically plops herself on the floor or couch when she’s exhausted. Her zoomies style — laps around the living room, grab a toy, drop it, grab another, drop, then another and another, then jump over foster mom, foster dad, foster sibling, and then her infamous floor plop.
What she loves most: Other dogs. Toys. Food. Play...she'll play with anything not bolted down.
Working on: Calming her inner jumping bean.
Kids: Loves kids and lights up when she sees them, but would do best with sturdier, dog-savvy kids as she would absolutely knock a smaller kiddo over.
Dogs: Big yes! She would love to have a dog-sibling. She would be best suited with a playful, tolerant, non-reactive pup as she doesn't quite understand boundaries and social cues yet.
Cats: Has briefly lived with cats and paid them no mind.
House-trained: Work in progress, but has done very well when on a schedule.
Crate-trained: Getting there!
