My mom and dad picked me up from the shelter 5 months ago, I had a very bad infection in my eye. I soon got surgery and i’m all healed up. Sometimes with me only having one eye I get startled if I don’t see someone coming from my left side. I can’t wait for the new adventures and fields i’m about to see!“

  — Dylan B.

• “Hi I'm Alaska. I love people but am very pretty drive and dog reactive. I'm also an escape artist so my owner keeps me on a long leash until he knows I won't be able to escape. My hobbies are smelling, tracking small creatures , peeing on every corner and running.“
