Labrador Retriever and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption in Fairbanks, Alaska

Kili (A129226) is a 4-year-old Lab mix who weighed 62.2 pounds on intake (but is overweight). 04/29/26 This super sweet girl is Kili! Kili was surrendered to the shelter due to her owner having some major life changes that prevented them from being able to provide her with the attention that she needs and craves. This was a very emotional decision and due to no fault of Kili. She was described as a great dog who does wonderful with children and is quite affectionate. She did previously live with 2 other dogs and even a cat and was said to do well with them all! It is important that appropriate introductions are made to help set her up for success. Kili was said to be kennel trained, housebroken, and knows her basic commands. She was also said to be quite the foody (which could be why she is a bit overweight). However, it was noted that she loves to play and go on adventures, but unfortunately, she was not getting the exercise that she needed most recently. Hopefully, with a few more walks and a little less treats, she will shed those pounds in no time. If you are interested in meeting this beautiful girl, please let us know!

The Labrador Retriever is a popular and versatile dog breed known for its friendly demeanor and high intelligence. These dogs are often used as guide dogs for the visually impaired, search and rescue dogs, and excellent family pets. Labradors are known for their great sense of smell, strong build, and love of water, making them exceptional hunters and swimmers. With their loyal and loving nature, Labradors have rightfully earned their reputation as one of the most beloved dog breeds in the world.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
