About Mya (Shar Pei) in Fairbanks

Mya is waiting for you at Fairbanks North Start Borough Animal Control in Fairbanks, AK 99701. Mya (A135677) is a 2-year-old Sharpei x Rottweiler mix who weighed 66.5 pounds on intake! 4/28/26 Mya has been settling into a foster home after being briefly adopted and returned when an introduction with another dog in the home did not go well. Mya has been a wonderful house guest so far, and time with other dogs has been limited and controlled. She is very vocal and pushy when playing with other dogs, but she LOVES to play! Mya would do well in a home with other young, large dogs that enjoy playing. Controlled introductions with several time-outs are recommended so that both dogs have positive interactions. Mya does not want to go into a crate, which means that a time-out room would be ideal for her time-outs. Mya is hoping to find an active home that will help her with her greeting and playing manners! It was said that she walks well on a harness! If you’re interested in meeting this affectionate girl, please give the shelter a call! Information from previous shelter stays:03/12/26 Mya is back at the shelter due her adoptive owner finding that she did not seem comfortable in their home. They stated she did not want to eat while with them and appeared anxious (would chew on her nails). We had our shelter vet assess Mya on her return back to the shelter. We have found Mya to be a picky eater at the shelter. Mya was also described as being very headstrong while in their care. She was said to be housebroken and to know her basic commands. Mya was described as friendly when meeting children but can be a little shy around strangers. We have found that she can be selective towards other female dogs while at the shelter. Please ensure you are making appropriate introductions with all new animals. 02/12/26 Mya was surrendered to the shelter because her owner did not have housing that could accommodate her, and her pet sitter was unable to continue tending to her.
