Adopt Alaska

Mixed Breed · Male

Tfar too dynamic for his old family, this big baby is bursting with energy, joy of life, and a desire to discover the world today. Very cuddly, speedy, and always ready for an activity, Alaska will need active and sporty masters who can offer him daily physical and mental expenditures. Walks, games, learning, canine activities… he will need an active life to feel at ease. His education is still to be built. Like any young dog, he will need to learn the basics and be accompanied with patience and kindness. A follow-up with a canine trainer is strongly recommended to start on the right foot and help Alaska become a balanced companion. Social with other animals of the same species, Alaska can live with other dogs. However, we will avoid placing him with cats or young children. A breed diagnosis will need to be done at 8 months, at the expense of the adopters.

Trop dynamique pour son ancienne famille, ce grand bébé déborde aujourd’hui d’énergie, de joie de vivre et d’envie de découvrir le monde. Très foufou, speed et toujours partant pour une activité, Alaska aura besoin de maîtres sportifs et disponibles, capables de lui offrir des dépenses physiques et mentales quotidiennes. Balades, jeux, apprentissages, activités canines… il lui faudra une vie active pour être bien dans ses pattes. Son éducation est encore à construire. Comme tout jeune chien, il devra apprendre les bases et être accompagné avec patience et bienveillance. Un suivi avec un éducateur canin est fortement conseillé afin de partir sur de bonnes bases et aider Alaska à devenir un compagnon équilibré. Sociable avec ses congénères, Alaska pourra vivre avec d’autres chiens. En revanche, nous éviterons un placement avec des chats ainsi qu’avec de jeunes enfants. Une diagnose de race devra être réalisée à leurs 8 mois, aux frais des adoptants.

About Alaska

What life with Alaska looks like

Alaska is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Amiens) in Poulainville.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇫🇷Adopting from France

French refuges follow the SPA framework: adopters sign a cession contract that includes sterilization, vaccinations, microchip identification, and rabies passport. Fees are typically €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Alaska, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Alaska?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Amiens) handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Alaska on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Alaska if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Amiens) will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Alaska already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Alaska isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Amiens) early rather than rehoming privately; they know Alaska and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (FR). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
