Loves other dogs and cats. Loves to play and very loving. He needs a good loving home. We will be coming to Anchorage on the 25th of January and can bring him with us.

Pit Bull Mix    Age: Puppy

Compatibility: Good with Most Dogs, Good with Adults (Not Kids) 
Personality: Average Energy, Submissive 
Health: Neutered, Vaccinations Current 

    I have been fostering a beautiful almost 2-year-old Pitbull by the name of Mr. Biggs but his owner decided to relinquish him and I, very unfortunately, can not keep him forever. It breaks my heart to have to give him up but I am hoping to find his forever home. He is house broken. Knows all basic commands like sit, stay, and lay down. I don't know how he is around cats or children, but he is still in his puppy stage and still has some puppy energy and doesn't know his own strength. He gets along with some dogs, but not all dogs. He loves to cuddle and also play fetch. He doesn't chew furniture but loves to destroy his toys. He's extremely ... (Read More)affectionate, loyal and listens very well. He is by far the best dog I have ever fostered and deserves to have the best home I can find him. So please, if you are interested, give me a call or send me an e-mail. My phone number is 413-775-3546. (Less)

Health: Neutered 

    Dale is a 2yr old red nose pit currently an temporarily being fostered by a couple in the area. They are watching him because I couldn't have pets where I live.

I do not want to have to take him to the pound when I move. He is a very sweet dog, great with adults, children and other dogs. I couldn't get a photo to upload but I can send one if you are interested in him.

Compatibility: Not Good w/ Other Dogs, Good w/ Most Cats, Good w/ Kids and Adults 
Personality: Average Energy, Somewhat Dominant 
Health: Neutered, Vaccinations Current 

    I have a beautiful lab and pitbull mix, male dog who has been a part of my family for the last 4 1/2 years. I cannot figure out why he is aggressive with some dogs and not with others. He is great at the dog park, and in open spaces with other dogs. His problems arise when he is in close spaces (such as sharing a home) with another dog. He is a very good dog, and can be left unsupervised for hours. I have him scheduled to be euthanized on the 27th of this month. It is an extremely hard decision for me and I am doing it as a last result as I don't have any other options at this time.

Pit Bull    Age: Young Adult

Compatibility: Good w/ Most Dogs, Good w/ Most Cats, Good w/ Kids and Adults 
Personality: High Energy, Submissive 
Health: Needs to be Neutered 

    I adopted Hennessey from a Military family. He came into my family shy and submissive. He was scared of every noise he heard and was terrified of riding in a car. Now, he is still submissive but very excitable, he loves people, he will even willingly jump in the car but he is food agressive. This started when a kitten was introduced into the household and has gotten worse. He seems to be okay when his food is in a different setting (when camping he is fine with people and strange dogs coming around him) but in my house he is very aggressive. He will growl and bark at both the cat and me and now my daughter if any of us comes near. He ... (Read More)is NOT a bad dog, he is very loving and loves people - I just can't figure a way to break the food agression and I cannot take the risk with my child in the house who may wander in that direction while he's eating.

PIease Read Before Adopting a Pit Bull in Alaska
    Pit Bull Dogs can make good pets in Alaska if they match your IifestyIe. The American Pit Bull Terrier is a powerful dog with an undeserved reputation for inherent viciousness. A Pit Bull that receives attention, firm training, and thorough socialization makes a wonderful family guardian that is trustworthy with children. Pit Bulls need committed, experienced owners that exude leadership. Pit Bulls excel at high level obedience with proper training. Pit Bulls have been bred for dog fights, and unfortunately a dog that is abused, neglected, or whose instinctive aggression is encouraged, can become hostile and dangerous. Pit Bulls can adapt to apartment life with enough exercise.

Pit Bull
lnteresting Pit Bull Trivia Low-Cost Alaska Spay & Neuter Clinics
    Some people believe that Pit Bulls are identical to what Bulldogs were in the past. Teddy Roosevelt owned Pit Bulls. Unfortunately, Pit Bulls are often used for illegal dog fighting. A disproportionate number of Pit Bulls are put down in major American cities each year.
