ALASKA

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Puppy · 4 months

Last updated: 4 days ago. ALASKA is not yet available for adoption; we’re waiting to see how her surgery goes. ALASKA is a 5-month-old mixed-breed dog, part Amstaff and part Malinois, born on February 4, 2026. She’s microchipped and vaccinated, and will be spayed when she reaches the appropriate age. She was entrusted to us by her owner, who no longer had the time or means to care for her. ALASKA hasn’t had an easy start to life. At three months old, she was hit by a car while escaping from the garden, suffering fractures to both front legs. The week before she came to us, she broke her shoulder and underwent another surgery at our expense. At an age when a puppy should be exploring the world, she’d hardly ever been outside—except for brief trips to relieve herself. Nevertheless, ALASKA is a fighter with a strong personality. She arrived here on three legs, barely intimidated, and has shown an extraordinary capacity for adaptation. We’ll gradually introduce her to walks in natural settings and in the city, as much as possible during her recovery period. She’d never met other dogs before and is very eager to interact with them. She has her own little quirks and won’t put up with any interaction she doesn’t like. ALASKA forms deep bonds with humans—she’s a little sweetheart who quickly becomes attached. She’s barely known us, yet she showers us with cuddles and sleeps right next to us. We’ll require adopters to follow up with an experienced dog trainer whom we’ll recommend. Please contact us beforehand by phone or email.

Dernière mise à jour : 21 août ALASKA est une jeune croisée amstaff et malinois de 6 mois, née le 4 février 2026. Elle est pucée et vaccinée, et sera stérilisée à l'âge requis. Elle pèse actuellement 12 kg. Elle nous a été confiée par son propriétaire qui n'avait plus le temps et les moyens de s'occuper d'elle. ALASKA n'a pas eu un début de vie facile. Elle a été renversée par une voiture lorsqu'elle avait trois mois en s'échappant du jardin, et a eu les deux pattes avant cassées. La semaine avant son arrivée chez nous, elle a eu l'épaule cassée, et a subi une nouvelle opération à nos frais. Elle n'était presque pas sortie hormis quelques minutes pour ses besoins, à l'âge où un chiot doit découvrir la vie. Néanmoins, ALASKA est une combattante, et elle a beaucoup de caractère. Elle est arrivée chez nous sur trois pattes, à peine intimidée, et fait preuve d'une capacité d'adaptation exceptionnelle. Nous allons l'habituer aux balades en milieu naturel et en ville tranquillement, autant qu'il sera possible pendant sa convalescence. Elle n'avait jamais rencontré d'autres chiens, et est très intéressée par le contact avec eux. Elle a son petit caractère et ne se laisse pas faire si une interaction lui déplaît. Il vaudra mieux qu'elle vive sans autre chien, car elle devra être socialisée progressivement. ALASKA est une glue avec l'humain, c'est un petit amour qui s'attache très vite. Elle nous connaît à peine et nous fait plein de câlins, et dort contre nous. Nous demanderons obligatoirement aux adoptants un suivi avec un éducateur que nous conseillerons. Si vous êtes intéressé pour l'adopter, vous pouvez nous renvoyer le formulaire d'adoption : Cliquez ici pour avoir accès au formulaire d'adoption en ligne Nous reviendrons vers vous rapidement. Merci de nous contacter au préalable par téléphone ou par mail.

About ALASKA

What life with ALASKA looks like

ALASKA is a medium-sized puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at SOS Animaux 78 in sos animaux 78.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇫🇷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. SOS Animaux 78 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 — SOS Animaux 78 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 SOS Animaux 78 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.
