SADIE 11

I'M AVAILABLE!!

Sadie is a 7 year young, spayed female black lab. She was relinquished by her owner who had for a few years.  Sadie is very good with children, cats and other dogs.  She is calm and adoring.  She has had a complete vet check done to include bloodwork for her thyroid.  He coat is dry (but shiny) and she is slightly overweight.  Her old owner did a great job getting her weight down from 107 to 85.  Her bloodwork is pending but if she needs thyroid suppliments, they are very inexpensive.  Sadie is a "love" of a lab!!  So kind!

RUNAWAY

I'M AVAILABLE!!

Runaway is a 13 year old, neutered male, Golden Retriever.  He was relinquished to Alaska Dog and Puppy Rescue in Anchorage who took care of him until GRRF could drive up to get him.  His old owner was a young girl that moved to school and could not take him.  Her mom relinquished him. Runaway has had a complete vet check done and if we didn't have vet records that traced back to his age we just wouldn't believe it.  His hips are great and there is no arthritis at all in his back or knees.  He is very fit and bright.  He is loving and good with other dogs but he can take them or leave them.  Really just wonts people.  He is on a special diet for his sensitive stomach but he eats well and there are no problems. 

MAGGIE

I'M AVAILABLE!!

MOE

I'M AVAILABLE!!

Maggie and Moe are 15 month old siblings.  They look like Border Collies but the Dad was a purebred Springer Spaniel and the Mom is a rough coated Collie (Lassie type).  The owner has the parents and kept these too from a litter of 11.  Now they are worried that they do not have enough time and attention to give to Maggie and Moe.  Both dogs are spayed and neutered and their hips have been x-rayed and look great.  They are very sweet natured and smart.  They love kids and get along well with other pets.  They can be adopted separately or together.  Maggie likes to "talk" when excited but is the snuggler of the two.  Moe is quiet and can be more shy but very endearing.  They are beautiful!

SEAMUS

I'M AVAILABLE!!

Seamus is a 4 1/2 year old, Lab/Border Collie mix. He looks like a Lab with a Tuxedo on!  Seamus has comes with lots of "bells and whistles", he is very obedient and great in the house.  He is used to a crate or can be trusted loose too.  He has excellent recall and is extremely smart. Seamus is very loyal and adoring.  His one "quirk" is that when he is done with love and attention he will give a light growl to say thanks but I am all done. For that he would be best with older children.  He gets along with most dogs very well and loves to play.  This is a GREAT DOG!

COWBOY CHARLIE

I'M AVAILABLE!!

Charlie is a now neutered male, Golden Retriever/Border Collie mix that was found two months ago tied inside a dumpster at an Anchorage transfer station.  He was transferred from one rescue group to GRRF within a few weeks.  We have been working with him on behavior issues.  Charlie is about  10 months old now and ready to be adopted.  He loves to play with other dogs but it takes a few meeting to introduce him.  He was very untrusting at first but now he adores people and his very smart at learning new things.  He can be growly about things but is learning patience.  He needs "positive reenforcement" and consisancy.  He is adorable and about 40 pounds.  He is very athletic and would be great in agility!

T.J.

Is a 1 1/2 yr. old, now neutered male, Golden Retriever.  His owners had him since he was a puppy and took great care of him.  They were moving and could not keep him.  T.J. was treated for "Cherry Eye" and they were waiting to surgically correct it when he got neutered.  We took care of all that last week.  This is a before picture and he is healing well and will soon look great for his photo op.  Cherry eye is a swelling of the conjunctiva or tissue under the lower eyelid and causes the dog no discomfort.  It is a cosmetic repair.  T.J. however did have his hips x-rayed and has some luxation in his hips and may develop some degree of hip dysplasia as he ages.  He needs an active but not too active home and to be kept lean and fit.
