ANOOK’s Story:     Anook was brought to our attention by one of our foster moms, who found in him a rough situation.  She wrote the following:  "He was bought by a woman in Michigan who got a promotion and decided she didn't have time for him.  He was then bounced to a co-worker of mind.  She didn't know what to do with a puppy that size, and her boyfriend was not treating him well, which is why she asked for help.  He is a BIG puppy. He is about 5 mo old and I expect him to grow up to be over 100 pounds.  He is a total sweetheart and lover. He loves kids, men, women. He was good with a full male Pit Bull at his original home; they played great together. He pulls a little when he's on leash but that's just being a puppy, and lack of training.  He is very smart. When I dropped him off with Tammy he was all over her kids for pets and loving. He was good on the car ride. Mostly he just craves attention and wants to be loved. He knows "sit", "shake", and "high five". 
 

ANOOK's Foster Mom Says:   

He is around 5-6 months old as Ann had said and is ALL PUPPY.  He's big for 6 months but just gorgeous.  He has some of the neatest markings I've ever seen.  He's fine with our two husky mixes, other than he really wants to play and they're older and would rather take a nap on the couch!  :)  So they get a bit grouchy with him but he just takes it in stride and keeps wanting to play.   We also have a Chihuahua who we are keeping separate from Nook.  I'm not sure that he'd mean to hurt her but she'll run and he bolts after her and we're afraid he'll run over her so we just keep them apart.  He is a smart boy who wants to please, and he is housebreaking AMAZINGLY fast -- he had a couple of accidents in the house the first day, but once he got the process of doing his "big boy" outside like the other guys, things have been just fine.  We take him out a couple times each hour during the day.  He sleeps through the night just fine.  He likes to play around first so we go out with him and wait until he's done.   He loves to go for walks and does pretty well.  We put him in a harness just so he doesn't accidentally back out of his collar.  He LOVES squeaky toys and balls that you hide food in.   He's also being crate trained, and progressing nicely.  We still have to lead him to the crate and "help" him in but he doesn't give us any problems while we're doing it.  Sometimes he'll whine or bark for a couple minutes but then usually plays with a toy or lays down.   He sleeps in there at night since he's still a puppy and likes to chew on things other than his toys!    Regarding kids, we have two girls, one in grade school and one pre-teen.  He hasn't shown ANY aggression of any kind.  We can even put our hands in his food dish while he eats and pet him too.  He just wags his tail faster.  The only thing I can see with small children is he may knock them down when he's playing but other than that he is nothing but a big furry ball of puppy love and energy!

 

Updates:    Coming Soon!

This dog's adoption donation is $200. If you know how much it costs to give a new dog responsible vet care, you can easily see that this is quite a bargain! He has had a complete health exam, has already been neutered, is microchipped, has tested negative for heartworm, has been kept on heartworm and flea preventative, is fully vaccinated and free of parasites.
