Here's Anchorage Animal Care and Control's Adoption of the Week, courtesy of Brooke Taylor, AACCC public relations coordinator.

Please meet Scout, an adult, male, Greater Swiss Mountain Dog mix. Intelligent, attentive, focused, this big fellow walks great on leash and is calm and very easy to handle. He knows commands (including "shake"), and sits politely for his treats. He enjoys being with people and has a responsive, affectionate nature. Sweet and loving -- gives kisses too! Great all-around dog! Scout can be adopted for $152, which includes his neuter deposit, MOA dog license, vaccinations, and microchip. Call 343-8122 for more information.

Adoption update: Buttons, Thor, Rudy, and Chris K have all been adopted! :)
