A5202713 Alaska | German Shepherd
Channel: United Hope for Animals
Date: 29/07/2018

A5202713 Alaska is a resilient 6-year-old white neutered male German Shepherd who was surrendered to the Baldwin Park Animal Care Center on July 22nd because his owners couldn’t handle the financial responsibility of a dog. Weighing 69 lbs, Alaska will be absolutely beautiful once he’s had a spa day and has good nutrition and affection every day. He seems to have been quite neglected and maybe left outside for most of his life with fly strikes on his ears, missing teeth, and calluses on his elbows. He has a skin condition that we think will improve after a visit to the veterinarian with his adopter. Alaska is  feeling a little shy in the chaotic shelter environment.  Even with all the strikes against him, Alaska was so gentle and sweet with our volunteers that our hearts melted, and despite keeping his tail between his legs he was appropriately friendly and curious about people and the other dogs he met. He could use some basic training and is likely to learn quickly when given a chance and some encouragement. We think he will be a great calm and loving family dog once he’s cleaned up and brought indoors to be a central member of a household that values him.

It is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization working to end homelessness among companion animals by supporting shelter adoptions and spay/neuter programs. Through our Shelter Support Program, our volunteers photograph and video shelter pets to increase their chances of adoption significantly. Our volunteer Adoption Coordinators help facilitate adoptions of shelter pets. United Hope for Animals supports rescue, spay/neuter and networking of shelter pets to increase their chances of adoption. UHA is not a shelter, but supports shelters to help increase visibility of animals who might not otherwise be seen.
