Story: Alaska was found wandering the street near Auto Mall. He had been spotted a week prior so we are assuming he was on the street for a while before finally being spotted and rescued. He was found eating from food that was thrown next to a trash can obviously famished from being on the street for a while. Now he's out on weight and he's a healthy boy who just needs the the right family.
