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 Dotty

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

Here is Dotty, an adult, spayed female, pit bull mix. She is white with black spots. Dotty is a high-energy dog who will do well in a home that can give her lots of exercise. She enjoys playing fetch with balls and ropes but also likes cuddle time on the couch. She is a sweet girl who has done well supervised with the other dogs in several Doggie Playgroups. She is a tail wagger, eager to greet everyone and eager to please. She is very smart and has earned all A+s in Shelter Dog Training Class.  She is very friendly and playful and would make a wonderful companion for someone.  She can be adopted for $72, as she is already spayed, which includes MOA license, vaccinations, and microchip.

Adoption update: Kuma is still available, but Coal has been adopted.
