Zorro

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, 7 mos

Palmer, AK

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Story

Zorro is a happy and friendly dude. He loves meeting new people and has yet to meet someone he doesn’t like! Zorro has been friendly towards other dogs and appears to want to play. Zorro did arrive to the shelter as a stray so we do not know if he has lived with other animals, but we can provide a dog meet and greet if needed! Zorro has been on his best behavior and is a people pleaser. He is still learning new things but is doing great! Zorro knows the cue “sit” and walks well on a leash. We don’t know if Zorro is completely potty trained, but we anticipate him doing well once he has a more regular routine! Zorro has medium energy. He will be happiest with regular exercise and playtime! He always enjoys going on a nice walk, but this weather has been a little chilly for him! Zorro is wiggly and has the cutest little happy trot. He has a happy go lucky personality and is patiently waiting to find his forever home!

Bucky

Male, 1 yr 1 mo

Palmer, AK

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Story

Bucky is an energetic young dude who is looking for a home that is able to provide him with a positive outlet for his energy. Bucky is very friendly and enjoys meeting new people. He tends to be very excited and may jump up. He is working on learning some more manners and we are happy to see that he is walking on a leash much better already! With a dedicated owner we imagine him taking to training well. Bucky arrived to the shelter as a stray so we do not know if he has lived with other animals or children. He has done well with other dog friendly dogs. He will react to dogs who don’t want to be his friend - we can always provide a dog meet and greet if needed! Bucky could make a great adventure buddy and is happy being involved in whatever it is you’re doing.

Benny

Mastiff

Male, Adult

Palmer, AK

Size

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

Details

Story

Benny was recently surrendered to the shelter and unfortunately, we did not get to learn about how he was in his home. During his time in the shelter Benny has been friendly and happy to meet new people! He has been out on a couple Miles for Mutts adventures and has done well. We do not know if Benny has lived with other animals or children. Benny has not been reactive towards the other dogs in the shelter and has a friendly demeanor when seeing them! Benny is a middle-aged dude who may not be looking for a rambunctious puppy to play with. We can always accommodate a dog meet and greet prior to adopting if needed! Benny loves to go on walks and appreciates having time outside. We haven`t seen him be too interested in toys but will pick one up if he`s trying to show off! Benny is becoming anxious in the shelter and is exhibiting some behaviors that may concern adopters. Benny is the type of dog who appreciates regular stimulation and enrichment - when he is bored, he may act out. We have noticed that Benny will attempt to hump when meeting new people. We do not know if this is something he did in his previous home, but we suspect that he does this because he is frustrated with boredom. In a home with regular exercise, we anticipate Benny being much happier. Benny does appear to be potty trained but please keep in mind that he will need time to adapt to his new home! He also walks well on a leash and knows the cues `sit`, `lay down` and `shake`We know Benny may sound like a handful, but we promise he is such a sweet dude who is so deserving of a forever home!

Diego

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, Adult

Palmer, AK

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Story

Diego was brought to the shelter as a stray. It took us a couple days to earn his trust but once he learned that we weren’t so scary his true colors started to shine through! Diego has been very sweet and friendly. He has done great with handling and didn’t even flinch when he received vaccines. We do suspect that he will be a little shy when meeting new people for the first time but luckily, he is treat motivated! Diego appreciates time with his people and is happiest when being praised or petted. He is a young and active dog who will thrive best with regular exercise and play time! Diego really enjoys regular walks, and we have noticed that getting a breath of fresh air helps him feel less anxious in the shelter. We do not know if Diego has lived with children or other animals. He has not been reactive towards other dogs and is often excited to be by a buddy! We can provide a dog meet and greet prior to adopting if needed. Diego is still learning basic dog manners, but we are pleasantly pleased to say that he is doing great! Diego has gained confidence with walking on a leash and does well, but he may need a little redirection at times. He appears to be mostly potty trained, but it can be difficult for dogs in a shelter environment. Diego is asking for some grace and patience while he continues to learn! Diego is a very good boy and deserves to find the best home. If you feel that your home would be a good fit for him, we encourage you to come by and meet him!
