Kenai
Kenai smiles as she enjoys her adopter's "new digs." (-I wonder if she lets him stay there too?) She
checks out the passing deer and rabbits in her sight from her deck/kennel position. Her adopter's shoes
are equipped with sheet metal screws to dig into the packed snow, but Kenai has knocked him on his butt
a couple times anyways (from pulling).....-it must be love!

Molly
Molly is a wonderful mountain dog and a former POLARIS rescue. She is slimming down with
all the outdoor activities she is able to do with her owner. She is living it up in the
high country: loves going on hikes, road trips in the Jeep and is building her strength.
She enjoys frolicking in the remaining mountain snow at this time of the year.
Molly is a great companion and her owner started her on shorter hikes, then worked her up
to longer ones (remember, dogs need to adjust to elevation too)! Now the two are together most of
the time (work and play) and are tightly bonding....

Sarah
Sarah joined our family on Columbus Day, 2006. The wait that day for
POLARIS to deliver our precious girl to us was, I thought at the time, a
little like what an expectant father must feel while his wife is in
labor. Our expectations were fulfilled that day...a thousandfold. In
Hebrew, the name "Sarah" means princess. But, it was clear on that first
day, our Sarah claimed no regal affectations. She was, like most
Mals, imbued with the single-minded intent to please, to love, to
view humans as the center of her life, the objects of her affections.
Sarah encompasses all the traits we've come to expect from his wonderful
breed. She is a people lover, especially small children; she relishes
walkies, runs, romps in the wilderness of Colorado; her passion for
tennis balls is indomitable. She has, like most Mals, a mind of her own;
stubborn at times, and will vocalize her desires. Her intelligence is
remarkable, with a "vocabulary" (an understanding of words) that is
amazing. She has become a singular joy in our lives. We could not have
wished for a more loving, well-mannered, bright, energetic presence in
our little family. She is a joy. She is the center of our lives.
She encompasses the goodness of the world. What more could be hoped for,
what more could be desired than the noble presence of such a
creature sharing the travails of our earthly trudge through the
uncertainties of life? Thank you, POLARIS, for providing us the
opportunity to bring Sarah into our family...

Tuko
Hello,
Tuko (center), loves his new family and has become the center of
attention. He gets lots of exercise, whether it's the cats chasing him
around the house or racing Kiana (the husky) for hugs or food. He
always makes sure the teens, Eryn and Molly, are safe in bed after a
late night, before he retires with his owners in the master bedroom. He
reminds his owners of the dog, Nana in Peter Pan!

Kodiak
Kodiak was a "city dog" and adopted well into his new home in the
mountains. His owner is a marathon runner and Kodiak is enjoying
running at high elevations. After a run, Kodiak spruces up at the K-9
Car Wash!

Seven (aka Mishka)
Hello,
Seven is a happy, healthy boy. As one of my co-workers put it 'That
dog hit the lottery with you H'. He absolutely LOVES coming to the
station with me. He does a quick run thru to get a head count and then
spends the rest of his time sleeping at my feet in my office,
supervising critical EMS operations, and maintaining accountability for
the crew. If someone manages to slip into another room without him
noticing he runs to me to let me know that something is very wrong. He
couldn't be happier, and he has brought some joy back into my life. He
is a GREAT partner. Thank you!!!!!
/Note: Seven is owned by an emergency response person who also does
guide services on rafts on the Colorado River. Seven loves his jobs.

Atka

Hello,
It has been just over a year since we adopted Atka. He fits perfectly into our family
and makes us laugh every chance he gets. Atka loves hiking, swimming, the dog park, or
just going on walks with his "sister" Kaya. Kaya and Atka get along very well and have
quickly become inseparable. Atka loves to "talk" to us all the time and follow us
everywhere we go. He is such an intelligent, gentle and loving boy. We can't imagine our
lives without him! Thank you again for helping us find such a great dog to become part
of our family.
