• “Hello! I’m Angus, a fun loving puppy who is full of energy. I’ve already had all my shots and now I want to play! I love playing chase, chasing and being chased, but I haven’t found a friend who wants to play with me yet. Could you be my new friend?“

  — Gillian T.

• “Angus was adopted in 2020 at about 2 1/2 years old. He came to us with some previous traumas. He is reactive to both strangers and dogs… and cats… anything with legs really. We have worked hard to muzzle train him and we do everything in our power to minimize stressors and triggers for him but it can be challenging as Anchorage apartment dwellers. Renting a space for him to do dog things is a dream come true!“

  — Steph A.

• “Angus is a male German Shepherd who has finally settled in his official home after searching for 5 whole years. He is a happy boy, a little afraid of people until he can learn to trust them. Once he opens up his heart to you, he’ll show you how happy and soft he truly is.“

I enjoy competing in multiple dog sports but my favorite is rally obedience. My favorite reward is a balloon! My best friend is a Golden Retriever.“

  — Jessica G.
