Quill & Scout - Meet us and read our story!!!
Rottweiler / Labrador Retriever mix females. These two girls have had quite an adventure! Abandoned in the Bear Valley area with a sibling, they caught the eye of local residents who spent weeks working to build their trust to catch them. Dr. Del Seeba and his fantastic team at Diamond Animal Hospital assisted to remove porcupine quills, provide health assessment and interventions, spay and vaccinate, and work with the girls on confidence and trust building. They get along so well that we would like to find them a permanent home together, so that their shared story doesn't have to come to an end. Photo by Alaska Pet-ography.   

Daisy
Mixed breed female, black, 6-7 years old. This cutie has some dachshund traits but is around 25 lbs. She loves to go for walks and for rides in the car. She would be best matched in a home with a securely fenced yard. Photo by Alaska Pet-ography.   

Josie
Beagle mix female, gold and white. She was an unclaimed stray at Anchorage Animal Care & Control. She needed eye surgery and has recovered well. She's on a diet and exercise plan to drop a few pounds, but her overall health is good. Photo by Alaska Pet-ography.   

Jax
Here's why I'm special... Jack Russell Terrier mix male, white and brown. Jax is blind, probably from birth. He is a very social dog with people but would probably prefer being the only dog. He is typical JRT, very focused on toys and play! Once he is aware of his surroundings he navigates very well. Photo by Alaska Pet-ography.   

Zoe and Taja 
Here's why we're special... Two females, senior, who were abandoned at Animal Care & Control together. Cute as can be! We have a soft spot for "experienced" dogs who have so much more love to give. Both girls have had their teeth cleaned and are ready for a home where they can cuddle and go for gentle walks.UPDATE: Zoe and Taja were returned due to a family emergency. Their recent adopter describes these two cuties as adorable and sweet. They get along well with cats too! Photo by Alaska Pet-ography.  

Lily, Rubert & YumYum
Here's why we're special... Shih Tzu mixes, seniors. These three cuties came to us due to a death in their family. Lily and YumYum have just had their teeth cleaned. Rubert is the smallest and Lily is the biggest. They have lived together for years, and our dream would be to find a home that could love them all. Knowing that may not be the case, each would do best in an adults-only home where they could be pampered and loved in their senior years. 

Pepper
Whippet/Miniature Pinscher mix female, 4 years old. This sweet girl does well with other dogs, cats and kids. She can be a fence jumper, so a 5-foot fenced yard is preferred. Her previous owner left her at Animal Care & Control so she would love a second chance at a lifetime home. Photo by Alaska Pet-ography.  

Sachi - I'm trying out a new home - wish me luck! 
Gordon Setter mix female, 4 years old, 49 lbs. She is very energetic and people-friendly, and also a good sniffer! She would be best matched to a busy home with lots of interaction and stimulation. hoto by Alaska Pet-ography.  

Rocky - I've been adopted! 
Here's why I'm special... Brown and cream husky mix male. This gentle senior male was released to Animal Care & Control when his owner passed away. He gets along well with other dogs and has a respect for cats. He enjoys gentle walks and napping at your feet. He is healthy and just had his teeth cleaned. Photo by Alaska Pet-ography.   

Squirt - I've been adopted! 
Pug male mix, fawn. He's got a face no one can resist! He came through Animal Care & Control as an unclaimed stray, so we don't know his story, but know he's ready for the next chapter in his life! Photo by Alaska Pet-ography.   

Brady - I've gone ahead  to the Rainbow Bridge...
Cocker Spaniel senior male. Our sweet friend Brady was diagnosed with a prolapsed colon. Due to his age and the severity of his condition, surgery was not recommended, and we sent him to his final home with God. Photo by Alaska Pet-ography.
