Conrad
The shelter was really full of sled dogs in the yard, so I brought an old-timer home as a foster. He didn’t have a name, so I called him Conrad. He was picked up as a stray dog on Ballina Road near Goldstream. Conrad is probably about 8 years old and is probably a sled dog. He has nice teeth, especially for a senior dog. His eyes are starting to get a bluish cast, as older dogs often do.
Conrad is a sweet, well-behaved guy. He rides nicely in a car, and is reliable when left alone. He is not housebroken, but does his best, and is learning crate training. Conrad is not destructive and does not chew. He walks ok on a leash, but can be a little shy and is easily frightened by barking dogs and loud noises. Conrad is friendly and gentle, but he also has an independent streak and is not really interested in bonding with people. He is very food motivated though.
Conrad is already vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered. He is ID# 072014 and is available for adoption through the Fairbanks shelter. Call 907-459-1451 or visit www.fnsb.petfinder.org.
Charlie Needs a Home
Charlie is a big, handsome youngster at Fairbanks Animal Control. He arrived with 9 of his friends and relatives; their owner had to move suddenly for her job. Charlie is only 22 months old. He’s underweight right now at 82 pounds…and he also will fill in more as he matures.
Charlie is physically very strong, and will need a strong handler. He is probably too big and boisterous for young children. Also, he is not good around cats. He is fine with other dogs however, and is playful.
Charlie does have a little mushing experience. Shelter volunteers Carol, Don and Leslie took him out for a run with a four-wheeler in an 8 dog team, and Charlie did well. He even ran up front a little bit and did a good job.
This is a big, friendly guy who is a lot of fun. He is good in the dogyard and likes visitors. He will give you his paw CONSTANTLY for attention, pat me! pat me! Very affectionate guy.
