Dog Dance

Oreo

Oreo is a 10 year old sprint dog from Rex Jones lines. He is just awesome all around: very friendly and happy, loves everybody, mostly well behaved. He does tend to chew up stuff, but oh well. Oreo has always seemed super healthy, but several weeks ago this tumor popped up overnight out of his hind leg:






Our vet said it's very malignant and is a highly aggressive cancer. The pathologist report wasn't bad, but she said the sample was too ulcerated to tell for sure (Oreo bit into the thing, which didn't help. So Oreo underwent surgery; tissue had to be removed from 3 inches all around. He is healing up beautifully. Hopefully the thing won't grow back.

CHARLIE ADOPTED!!

Charlie got adopted yesterday, October 1st, to a good home :)
Best of luck to Charlie and his new owner!

Charlie Needs a Home

Charlie is a big, handsome youngster at Fairbanks Animal Control. He arrived with 9 of his friends and relatives; their owner had to move suddenly for her job. Charlie is only 22 months old. He's underweight right now at 82 pounds...and he also will fill in more as he matures.
Charlie is physically very strong, and will need a strong handler. He is probably too big and boisterous for young children. Also, he is not good around cats. He is fine with other dogs however, and is playful.
Charlie does have a little mushing experience. Shelter volunteers Carol, Don and Leslie took him out for a run with a four-wheeler in an 8 dog team, and Charlie did well. He even ran up front a little bit and did a good job.







This is a big, friendly guy who is a lot of fun. He is good in the dogyard and likes visitors. He will give you his paw CONSTANTLY for attention, pat me! pat me! Very affectionate guy.
