Story
Rocky has been through a lot most of his life and will need a patient and kind owner who is willing to give Rocky time to adapt to his new home. Rocky is a very friendly dude but may be shy when meeting new people for the first time. He can especially be wary of big, loud men. Rocky has a difficult past but is looking forward to a bright future! Once comfortable, he loves all the attention. His previous owner mentioned that he enjoys bath time and loves to join in on water fun! Rocky is an active dog who will thrive best with having a positive outlet for his energy. He enjoys having toys and regular enrichment! Rocky is a smart boy who appreciates keeping his brain busy too! We anticipate him enjoying dog puzzles and he loves stuffed kongs. Rocky was overall a well mannered gentleman on his previous home. His only flaw was that he would chew on kids toys and sometimes shoes when left alone outside of his crate. Rocky is crate trained and recommend keeping up with it; not just to ensure good behaviors when alone but to also provide him with a safe place of his own. Rocky is potty trained and will sit at the door when he needs to go out. He also knows the cues “sit”, “stay”, “down”, “off”, “treat”, “come”, “leave it”, “fetch”, “okay” and he walks well on a leash! Rocky had done well with the children in his previous home and is said to be a very loyal companion. He wants nothing more than to make his family happy! Rocky has done well with other dogs and is always excited to see the other dogs in the shelter. We have done a couple dog meet and greets too, which he has done great with. We can always provide a dog meet and greet prior to adopting if needed! He has been around livestock with no issues but it is unknown how he does with cats and other small animals. We do suspect that he would chase them! Rocky is a very good boy and we are so proud of how far he has come. Again, Rocky will need time to adapt to his new home and please be prepared to provide him with that time!

Nico

Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 2 yrs
Palmer, AK
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats,
Story
Nico is a fun and active young dog who is needing a positive outlet for his energy. He loves to play and adopters should be prepared for a life full of adventure and fun with Nico! His favorite toys are squeaky toys and stuffies. Yes, he does love stuffies but will end up destroying them! Nico had recently been adopted from the Anchorage Animal Shelter and was surrendered to us because his current owner wasn’t able to continue training. Needless to say, Nico has been through some big changes recently and would appreciate grace while he continues to learn and adapt! Nico is not completely potty trained but regular potty breaks and a stable routine could certainly help him. He is crate trained, knows the cues “sit”, “stay”, “come” and walks really great on a leash! From the sounds of it, Nico was brought to the Anchorage Shelter because he had lived with dogs who would beat him up. Nico has been friendly towards other dogs in the shelter and is not reactive but due to his past experiences, it will be beneficial that Nico receives proper introductions to new dogs! To help him feel safe and help make the experience positive. We can provide a dog meet and greet prior to adopting if needed. He is said to do well with cats too. Introductions should be taken slowly! Nico is a sweet, cuddly and kind boy. He knows when his people are needing a little extra love and is more than happy to be hugged on and loved on. Despite his energy, he is a snuggle bug too! Nico does love people but can be shy with men at first. Words of encouragement and treats are the key to his heart! Nico was said to do great with the children in the home and was a gentle boy. Niko is eagerly waiting to find his forever home and is hoping it’ll be soon! If we feel that Nico could be the right friend for you, we encourage you to come by and meet him!

Dakota

Labrador Retriever Catahoula Leopard Dog

Female, 4 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
Dakota was surrendered to the shelter with her sister Lil Su. Though they are such good girls and very sweet, the owners did not provide us very much background information on them. Dakota is the most active of the two. She loves to hop around outside and is happy to chase toys for you! She hasn`t quite mastered the game fetch; she just likes to be involved! Dakota has been very social with all of her friends at the shelter but we do suspect that she may be a little shy when first meeting. Don`t worry, she does warm up quickly! Dakota enjoys spending time with her sister and spends most of their play time together trying to encourage her to play. In a perfect world we would love for them to be adopted together but understand how much that is to ask for. Dakota has not been reactive towards other dogs in the shelter and may enjoy having a friend to play with. She can be intimidated by really rowdy dogs. We can always provide a dog meet and greet prior to adopting if needed! From the sounds of it Dakota has not lived with children or any small critters. Introductions should be taken slowly! Dakota is very sweet and loves to be scratched. She does great with handling and believes all attention is great. Dakota is potty trained, and crate trained. She was used to spending most of her day in the crate in her previous home, she is looking forward to having more ‘free’ time in her new home! Dakota does know the cue “sit” and walks well on a leash. Dakota did arrive to the shelter with some skin issues that we believe were caused by allergies. She is currently being treated in shelter and has been prescribed apoquel. Adopters should know that if her allergies are not managed that her skin will become irritated and her fur will most likely fall out. To keep her oh so stunning and feeling great we have a supply of apoquel to send home with adopters, and we do encourage adopters to get Dakota set up with their regular vet! If you feel that Dakota would be a good fit for your home, we would love for you to come and meet her!

Story
Lil Su was surrendered to the shelter with her sister Dakota. Though they are such good girls, the owners did not provide us with much information on their background. Lil Su and Dakota get along great, and she seems to enjoy Dakota company. Even though Lil Su tends to be on the chiller side. In a perfect world we would love for Lil Su and Dakota to be adopted together but we understand that is a lot to ask! Lil Su has not been reactive towards other dogs in the shelter and may enjoy a friend that matches her energy level. We can always provide a dog meet and greet prior to adopting if needed. Lil Su enjoys slow walks and taking time to sniff everything around her. When she is feeling playful she will even chase a toy for you, though she has not mastered how to bring it back. Lil Su has gone on a couple Miles and Mutts adventures and enjoyed hitting the trails. She is a little chunky so a nice walk or adventure from time to time is very beneficial for her! She is on a metabolic diet to help get her to a healthy weight. We anticipate Lil Su being a couch potato and being eager to snuggle up with her family at the end of a long day. She is a very loving and affectionate girlie. From the sounds of it, Lil Su has not lived with small critters or children. Introductions should be taken slowly! Lil Su is potty trained, and crate trained. She was crated most of the day and is looking forward to having more ‘free’ time in her new home. Lil Su does know the cue “sit” and absolutely has the ability to walk well on a leash, but she does tend to let her nose lead the way. Lil Su is such a good girl who deserves to have a cozy and comfy place to call her own. If you feel that your home would be a good fit, we would love for you to come by and meet her!
