Story
Sadly this sweet girl's owner passed away and no one in the family wanted her. She is excellent with other dogs, good around cats, rides excellent in the truck, loves all the people and other dogs she has met. She is a wonderful active girl and would thrive in a home with another dog that loves to go hiking.

Story
Please welcome Dallas to the rescue. 2 yr old male GSD whose owner passed away and sadly found himself homeless.PLEASE folks don't assume your family or friends want your dog! I am very grateful to Destiny and Alaska Dog Boarding & Training, Inc./ Lytle's K-9's in Palmer who is willing to foster and work with him while we look for his forever home. He was just neutered, vaccines up to date and microchipped. He is doing excellent with his training, anyone would be lucky to find a young purebred in rescue who is so very awesome!! Location Palmer

Story
We got Nico in March of 2025 from the Animal Control Center off Elmore. He’s a skiddish and gentle dog, love walks and pets. Gets frightened by sudden movements and loud noises due to his past home. He was doing great until recently he’s shown more anxiety than we can keep up with. Sudden changes lately have made him hyperactive or potty regressed. He’s never been the type to be aggressive or anything, always been sweet and gentle. In the new home I’m just looking for someone who can help him with going potty often and making sure he’s fed properly as he does have a sensitive stomach.
