Story
Meet HIROMI HIROMI was turned into the shelter as a found dog. No one ever came for her. Despite being failed by her former person, this sweetheart remains devoted and loving. After Hiromi’s arrival she was initially timid and lacked confidence. She can still be somewhat apprehensive but she has opened up and trusted us enough to let her true colors shine! She is silly, sensitive, refreshingly affectionate, playful and a free spirit. Her absolute favorite past time is to be showered with love and give it in return. Her gentle, resilient nature is inspiring but not surprising. Hiromi is very communicative by expressing a multitude of emotions with her eyes. Her body language is inviting and she understands how to use it to subtly let you know what’s on her mind. She is also an Akita so stubbornness is part of her DNA! Her ideal adopter should have a calm home environment and be able to provide consistency and a daily routine, where she can continue to expand her horizons. Hiromi gets excited for her daily walks and is a great traveler! She seems non-reactive to other dogs and might do well with a mellow male dog. She is approx 4 yrs old and weighs 57 lbs. She is also crate and house trained. She is ready to pledge her love and devotion! Are you?!

Story
Meet TOBI We don't know much about Tobi's past, but his future is very bright. He is a big boy with a heart the size to match. He is a gentle giant with a gregarious, carefree attitude and is eager to learn and experience the world. He is game for adventure and deserves to have that special someone to accompany him in life. Tobi is playful and has a welcoming aura about him. He also has an unabashed, confident side to him. He's just not sure how he ended up here, and we're making sure he never has to wonder that ever again. He is best as an only dog and someone with previous Akita experience is best. Tobi is approximately 5 yrs old, and due to his size should be on a good quality joint supplement. He's only been with us a short time, so will need to gain a few pounds to look his best, but he's already on his way to showing us his beautiful soul.

Story
Meet Emi Emi’s sleek, brindle coat is a thing of beauty and so magnificent to behold. Engaging, charismatic, gregarious, and spirited are the first things you sense about her from the moment she enters a room. Emi exudes a brand of joy that makes her impossible to resist! Not until you witness her graceful elegance and see a bit of frost around her muzzle, do you realize she is a senior beauty with an abundance of life experiences to share. She’s 8 yrs old and has found herself homeless, but she’s seen enough in life to know there’s still a wonderous journey ahead. She is a lover of people and she’d much rather be enjoying a fun adventure with you by her side on interesting walks or trips to the beach, than be left at home alone. She needs to be an only dog and is not suitable with cats. She is approximately 60 lbs. and seems unaware she has some arthritis and hip dysplasia. But as you can see, she enjoys playing with her toys and doing tricks for treats. Her healthy curiosity keeps her engaged in life’s adventures, though she also loves her beauty naps. Please don’t let her age deter you from considering giving her a home. Her heart is overflowing with love. If you are interested in Emi, please complete our adoption application in the link below.

Story
Kazhem is a very handsome, somewhat shy Akita mix who warms up slowly to new people. But once he is comfortable he will share his goofy personality with you, running zoomies in the grass and showing off his great smile and happy tail wag.He gets along great with other dogs on the beach, the trails and probably in the dog park, but would prefer to be the only doggo in his forever home. Once Kazhem bonds with you he`s very devoted and wants to be with you all the time. Retirees, professionals who work at home, and anyone else who could make him a part of their daily life would be his dream family!

Story
Blitz was born on May 18, and I had the joy of picking him up from a friend when he was just 8 weeks old at the beginning of summer. From that moment on, he filled my life with love and joy. During my time back home from college in Washington, I took great care of him, cherishing every moment we spent together. When it was time for me to return to school, I found it incredibly difficult to leave him behind. I missed him so much that I decided to bring him up to Washington with me, and I even got him assigned as my Emotional Support Animal so he could stay by my side on campus. Weve had wonderful adventures together, but now, after many back-and-forth trips during breaks, Ive come to realize that Im not in the best position to provide him with the care and stability he truly deserves. Blitz is a loyal and affectionate companion, and I want nothing more than to find him a loving home. If you’re looking for a furry friend to bring joy please consider adopting Blitz.

Story
Kanoa is simply a great dog! He’s a 1.5-year old, friendly, playful, and very energetic young Akita. He likes people and appears friendly toward dogs when passing them on leash. He also walks very politely on leash and likely wouldn’t mind running, too, if his human companion was so inclined. Everything about Kanoa suggests that he has lived in a home before and will make his lucky new family very happy. He appears house-trained and is definitely ready to get out of the kennel and into a home again. Come see if you’d like to take Kanoa home with you!

Story
Meet Frankie – The Fun-Loving Shepherd Husky Mix Frankie is a 10-month-old Shepherd Husky mix with a heart as big as his playful personality! This sweet boy looks like a little coyote with his lean build and soulful puppy eyes that will melt your heart. Frankie’s journey began in the Fresno area, where he was surrendered after his homeless owner could no longer care for him. Despite his rough start, Frankie is thriving in foster care and ready to find a forever home that matches his zest for life. Why Frankie Will Steal Your Heart Playful and Happy: Frankie is full of puppy energy and always ready to play. Whether it’s with dogs, kids, or toys, he’s the life of the party. Adventurous Spirit: He’d be a fantastic jogging or hiking buddy for an active family that loves the outdoors. Friendly and Social: Frankie loves everyone he meets, including other dogs and children. He’s also tested OK with cats, but any feline friends would need to be very tolerant of his playful nature. Compact Yet Mighty: At 48 pounds, he’s lean and lanky but may gain another 5–10 pounds as he fills out. What Frankie Needs in a Forever Home Commitment to Training: Frankie is eager to learn and would thrive with a family dedicated to teaching him basic manners and structure. He’s still learning personal space and could use guidance to channel his enthusiasm. Active Lifestyle: An ideal home would keep Frankie busy with regular exercise, whether it’s daily runs, long hikes, or trips to the dog park. Love and Patience: Frankie has so much love to give, but he’s still a puppy at heart. He needs a family ready to embrace his goofy, energetic side while helping him grow into a well-mannered adult. Space to Roam: A home with a yard where Frankie can stretch his legs and explore would be perfect for him. Progress in Foster Care: House and Crate Training: Frankie is making great progress with both and is eager to please his humans. Healthy and Thriving: While he’s slightly underweight now, with the right care and nutrition, he’ll be at his ideal weight in no time. Frankie is a sweet, happy, and loving pup who just needs a little direction to reach his full potential. If you’re looking for an active, affectionate adventure buddy with a heart of gold, Frankie could be your perfect match! Could you be the one to give him the forever family he deserves?
