Hi, I’m Alaska.

Not long ago, I became a mama to some beautiful pups, and now that they’re on their way, it’s finally my turn to find a family of my very own. I was rescued from Rocky Mount and given a second chance, and I’m so grateful.

I’m currently living with a wonderful foster family who is helping me learn what it truly means to be a dog—how to relax, feel safe, and enjoy life. I adore kids, get along great with other dogs, and I even met a cat once... she was pretty cool, too. I’m working hard on my basic training and learning new things every day.

My foster mom is also making sure I won’t have any more babies, which means my future is all about me—love, comfort, and new beginnings.

I have so much love to give and would be so happy to meet you.
