Palmer, AK

Story
Fisher was brought to the as a stray with his friend Starfish. Unfortunately, we were unable to locate his owner, so he is here, eagerly waiting to find his forever home! Fisher is an active dog who will thrive best with having a positive outlet for his energy. He is a happy guy who would benefit from keeping both his body and brain active! We do not have any background information on Fisher; it is unknown if he has lived with children or other dogs. During his time in the shelter Fisher has loved meeting new people and is happy to do so. He has not been reactive towards other dogs and may do well with another friend! We can always provide a dog meet and greet prior to adopting if needed. Fisher is always so excited to get out of his kennel, over time he has begun playing tug with his leash when it is time to go outside. To curb this behavior we have offered him a toy to carry instead, he walks on a leash much better now! It can be difficult to tell if a dog is fully potty trained in the shelter environment. Fisher is asking for some grace while he adapts and continues to learn in his new home! Fisher does take treats gently and knows the cue “sit”. Fisher has done great with handling and loves a good scratching! You may notice that he is shedding so much right now and would benefit from a good brushing. Luckily, he loves it! Fisher is such a good boy who simply needs to get out of the shelter so he can be the best version of himself. If you feel that Fisher would be a good fit for your home, we would love for you to come and meet him!

Ambrosa

American Bulldog

Female, 4 yrs
Palmer, AK
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats,
Story
Ambrosa is a very sweet, active girl who is deaf. She does not let being deaf get in her way but adopters should be prepared to show Ambrosa some grace while she continues to learn and navigate life! She does know how to sit with a hand cue and can be redirected when on walks with the same hand cue! She is a very smart girl who enjoys learning! The most important thing to keep in mind with Ambrosa is that she has a difficult time reading other dogs body language because she cannot hear if they are growling or barking at her. Ambrosa thinks everything is a game and that everyone wants to play! Ambrose did arrive to the shelter as a stray, so we do not know if she has lived with other animals or children. She is a happy girl who does not appear to have an ounce of shyness in her body! Ambrosa has not been reactive towards other dogs in the shelter and is eager to play. We recommend a dog meet and greet prior to adopting just to be sure other dogs will be accepting of her bouncy personality. Ambrosa has done well with walking on a leash but my play grab the leash. To correct this behavior, we ask her to sit to get her attention back onto us! Ambrosa may be potty trained, but it can be difficult to tell in the shelter environment. She will thrive best in a home that is able to provide her regular exercise and enrichment. She enjoys stuffed kongs and we anticipate her doing great with dog puzzles! Ambrosa does great with handling. She loves to be petted and hugged on. She is such a great dog who has so much potential! She just needs someone to give her a chance. If you feel that Ambrosa would be a good fit for your home, we would love for you to come by and meet her.

Alexa

Labrador Retriever

Female, 1 yr
Palmer, AK
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats,
Story
Alexa was both an indoor and outdoor dog in her previous home. When she was left alone, she was primarily left outside. Alexa is an active and playful young dog who will thrive best with having a positive outlet for her energy. Any adopter should be prepared to provide her with that outlet! Alexa enjoys the great outdoors and is always happy to go on an adventure. We aren`t sure if she has ever been camping but we anticipate it being one of her favorite things! Though Alexa is playful she doesn`t always show much interest in toys. She prefers one on one playtime with her people and enjoys sticks! Overall, Alexa does have good manners. Her one ‘flaw’ was that she could be destructive towards household items. This may have been due to the lack of stimulation in her previous home though. Alexa is potty trained and crate trained. We recommend continuing crate training to help Alexa feel secure when left alone and to keep her honest! Alexa does well on a leash and knows the cues “sit”, “come”, “no”. Alexa was described as being aggressively playful by her previous owners. Though she enjoys playing with other dogs and playing in general, she can be rambunctious at times and may not know how to read social cues from other animals. To her, everything is a game! Alexa will need additional socializing to help her better interact with other dogs and play respectfully. She would do best with a tolerable friend that matches her energy. We highly encourage a dog meet and greet prior to adopting. Alexa will most likely chase or play too rough with cats. To make ensure everyone stays happy and stress free, we do not recommend Alexa going into a home with small animals. Alexa has loved everyone she met and has lived with children. Again, due to her wiggly personality she may be too much energy for some small children. If you are an active person who also enjoys all things the great outdoors has to offer, Alexa may be the right dog for you!

Labrador Retriever

Male, 5 yrs
Palmer, AK
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats,
Story
Smokey is a polite gentleman who is looking for an owner who has the time to shower with love. Smokey is happiest when spending time with his people and would prefer a home that he doesn’t have to spend most of his time alone in. Smokey would benefit from crate training for when he does need to spend time alone as he was known to be destructive at times. Crate training could help Smokey feel safe and secure while his people are away! Overall, Smokey is well mannered. Also, he is friends to all! Smokey is potty trained, he walks well on a leash and knows the cues “sit”, “down”, “come”, “leave it”, “drop”, “no”, “shake”. He is a people pleaser and just wants to make you happy! Smokey has gotten along with other dogs and has been friendly towards other dogs in the shelter. We can always provide a dog meet and greet prior to adopting if needed! Smokey had a cat friend in his previous home, and they got along great. Though this is great news, it is important to keep in mind that introductions should be taken slowly! Smokey does not have a shy bone in his body. He has loved everyone he’s met and does great with children. Though he does have a mellow personality he still enjoys being active. He loves playtime with squeaky toys and taking nice walks! Smokey is such a good boy. If you feel that your home would be a good fit for Smokey, we would love for you to meet him!

Puddle

Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 9 mos
Palmer, AK
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats,
Story
Puddle is a young and active boy who enjoys making new friends! He originally arrived to the shelter with another friend, his age too so we assume they were brothers! Puddle and Poncho were attached at the hip and got along great. Puddle has not been reactive towards other dogs in the shelter and would most likely enjoy a doggy friend in his new home. We can always provide a dog meet and greet prior to adopting if needed! Puddle is a big love bug and just wants to be hugged and told he’s such a good boy. He is a people pleaser and always feels so guilty when he thinks he’s done something wrong. A gentle and patient owner would be best for sweet Puddle. He is happy to go on walks and has really LOVED the shelter`s little agility equipment. If you`re interested in dog agility Puddle might just have what it takes! He will be happiest with having a positive outlet for his energy. Since Puddle came to the shelter as a stray we do not know if he has lived with other animals or children. Introductions should be taken slowly! Considering he does have a social but submissive personality we are hopeful he could make a great addition to most homes! Puddle may not be completely potty trained, but it can be difficult to tell in a shelter environment. Please be sure to give him time to adapt to his new home! Puddle has walked great on a leash and knows the cue “sit”. Puddle is such a fun guy to spend time with, and we absolutely adore his sweetness. We would love for you to come by and meet him!

Vegemite

Boxer American Staffordshire Terrier

Male, 10 yrs 1 mo
Palmer, AK
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats,
Story
Vegeta is looking for his retirement home. One that he can be comfortable in and be his true self! Vegeta has been friendly towards staff and easy to handle. He has done great with meeting new people and doesn’t appear to have a shy bone in his body! Though there is no shame in him being a senior gentleman, he may be a little less tolerant of small children and appreciates his boundaries. Vegeta will be happiest in a home without small children. Additionally, Vegeta has been beat up a couple times by other dogs. He was not said to be the instigator, but because of his past we believe he should be the only dog in the home. This way he can spend the rest of his life being showered with all the love and attention he deserves! Vegeta does enjoy going on walks and spending time outside. He is not a super active guy but will enjoy going on short walks! Vegeta does appear to be potty trained and he knows the cue “sit”. Vegeta can absolutely walk well on a leash but tends to be excited initially and will pull. Vegeta is so deserving of a forever home! If you feel that your home would be a good fit for Vegeta, we would love for you to meet him!
