MOOSE - Belgian Shepherd Malinois and Husky Dog for Adoption in Fairbanks, Alaska

Moose (A143184) is a 1.6 year old Belgian Malinois and Alaskan Husky Mix who weighed 72lbs on intake! 08/24/26 Moose was surrendered with his best friend Lily due to no fault of their own! They were abandoned with their 6 puppies with a friend who said they were well behaved, affectionate, and good with babies, children, strangers, men, women, and dogs. They were stated to not do well with pocket pets and iffy with cats so we recommend they go to a home withouth pocket pets and extra caution used with cats. They have no experience with livestock. They do ride well in the car, are housebroken, and kennel trained. They can jump a fence, do jump on counters and people, and sometimes get into the trash. Lily and Moose know the commands sit and stay and are known to be gentle when playing. Moose is a little more outgoing than Lily but Lily does warm up pretty quick with people willing to be patient with her. We always recommend slow and controlled introductions with all new relationships but especially with other pets and kids. If you are interested in Moose and/or Lily they would love to meet you too! So give the shelter a call!
