ecause his Malamute ways have proven to be a bit too much. Kobuk tests his boundaries and in his surrendering home, he had become quite destructive. He was known to break out of kennels, chewed through a barn's wooden wall, destroyed a vacuum, and more. He was stated to be happy when outdoors in their fenced in yard and would even pull wood behind him. Kobuk is looking for a job in his next home that can keep him mentally stimulated and help him sort out his destructive ways. He is still a young dog and has a lot of potential to thrive in the right home setting. Kobuk was said to be treat-motivated and was eager to sit for treats while at the shelter! However, he is a large boy, and he would like to help himself to any food within his reach. Kobuk was also noted to get into the trash if the opportunity presented itself. On a positive note, Kobuk was said to be friendly with babies and children! However, it was noted that he does not understand his size which can get him into trouble. Kobuk was said to have tried to play with the cat in the home, but the cat was not appreciative. He was said to have a high prey drive and should not go to a home without chickens/poultry. He generally does well with other dogs, but does always depend on the other dogs feeling towards him. Appropriate introductions should always be made to help set him up for success. If you are interested in meeting Kobuk, please let us know! 05/10/25 This handsome young guy is Kobuk! Kobuk was brought to the shelter because his previous owner was struggling to get him to adjust to the cushy inside life. Kobuk is still a young pup and has lived outside for most of his life. He is looking for a patient home that is willing to put in the work to help him learn the ropes of potty training and manners. Kobuk was described as being outgoing and friendly. He can be rough when playing, and he has some puppy habits that he needs help kicking. Kobuk has been known to be vocal and to chew and get into the trash when given the chance. He also has history of jumping on people and counters. He would likely do great in a basic obedience class with a certified trainer to help him learn some manners! Kobuk was said to ride well in the car, and he is said to be friendly toward other dogs and adult humans. He does not have history with children or other animals. Please make sure any and all introductions are done in a slow and controlled manner to allow for the best chance of success. If you are interested in meeting this handsome fluffball, please give us a call!

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
