Story
Nogurt will be turning 7 these December. I got him back in 2018 from a friend. He is a well trained potty boy with a lot of energy. He does bark at people he doesn't know but warms up to people quickly. He loves to sleep, play, and run outside. He knows common sign like how to sit and give paw. I would like nogurt to be in a loving home who can handle his hyperactive personality.

Story
Heather belonged to my son. He adopted her 3 years ago. She is 8 years old.. My son has recently had a major health issue which has left him with limited mobility. Therefore he is unable to take care of her. I have moved her into my home until we can find a new forever home for her. I am 88 years old and I am unable to take her for walks but can provide her with her daily needs. However, I don’t feel confident that I can continue for very long. I am looking for someone who can walk her, play with her, and love her. She soaks up love and attention. She has never destroyed or torn anything up. She eats well, but doesn’t get table food or junk.

Story
Moose is such a lover boy. We have absolutely adored having Moose with us and are so grateful to see him doing so well! When Moose first arrived to the shelter, he was very skinny and though he does still need to put on a few pounds, he is a much healthier version of himself! Moose is so cuddly and affectionate. He loves spending time with his people and is more than happy to lay at your feet or sit on your lap! He is great company. Moose has made himself comfortable in staff offices throughout the day and is always such a good boy! Moose may be a little shy when meeting new people at first, but he can’t resist treats and cuddles for too long. He has done well with children, but please keep in mind that he is a hungry boy and will most likely try to sneak snacks from the little kids! Moose has done well with cats and loves playing with other dogs. He really is just a friendly and gentle soul who wants to be loved by everyone around him! Moose is also potty trained and appears to be crate trained. He walks great on a leash and knows the cues “sit” and “shake”. Moose is absolutely perfect, and we want nothing more than to see him thrive! He will need a patient, gentle and kind owner. If you feel that your home would be a good fit for Moose, we would love for you to meet him!

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!

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!
