**Zero Tolerance Aggression Policy**
In our efforts to accommodate all pets entrusted to our care, we may find it necessary to address any concerning behaviors with owners. Due to spatial limitations within our residence, prolonged separation of dogs displaying aggression is not feasible. Should your pet exhibit signs of aggression during their stay, a temporary isolation period for acclimatization will be implemented, followed by a gradual reintroduction process to assess their behavior. If these interventions fail to yield desired results, the safety of our household members and guests takes precedence. In such cases, the booking will be cancelled, and owners will have 24 hours to retrieve their pet. In the event that such arrangements cannot be facilitated, and local assistance is unavailable, we are prepared to offer referrals to alternative providers and provide assistance throughout the transition period. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding in this matter and invite you to reach out should you require further clarification or have any questions regarding this policy.

Failure to Retrieve:
Pets will need to be picked-up on the agreed upon date and time OR notify us of any delays. AK DOG DEN will contact the owner and emergency contacts on file if owner is a no call, no show. We will hold your pet(s) for a maximum of 2 days before turning over to the Municipality of Anchorage Animal Control
