Dog Blog

The Dog Blog is a community of ordinary dog lovers who have come together to discuss our extraordinary dogs. Each Monday, a new topic is introduced. If you've got an opinion, share it. If not, look for the current "anything goes" topic and introduce a discussion of your own. On Fridays, weigh in about your training questions and successes.
Your host: Mike Lewis is a little-dog nerd and the proud owner of Eddie and Jillian, a pair of Yorkies who think they're huskies, and Lucy, a sweet Chessie. R.I.P., Rusty. Contact mlewis@adn.com

Adoption of the week: Meet Alize

Here's AlizeHere's Alize

Here's Anchorage Animal Care and Control's Adoption of the Week, courtesy of Brooke Taylor, AACC's public relations coordinator.

Here is Alize, a 5-year-old, spayed, female, pit bull mix. This sweet and happy girl is great on walks and has done well in Shelter Dog Playgroups with the other dogs. She enjoys playing and running in the snow and exploring new scents. She is smart, attentive, and listens well. She is very friendly and easy-going and would make a great companion. Alize can be adopted for $72, as she is already spayed, which includes her MOA license, vaccinations, and microchip.

Update: Last week's adoption of the week, Tsunami, is still available, and get this: Volunteers worked with her for a little while, and she passed her AKC Canine Good Citizen test! Here's her story.
