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
Meet Hachi! He’s got the silliest face, silliest ears, and the silliest personality to match! This adolescent boy is quite eager to please, showing off his “sits” to anyone who asks (treat please!). But he’s decided that his true purpose in life is to test out every single plush toy that has been created to make sure it’s got his silly seal of approval. So far, he has yet to find one that disappoints. Hachi would love to find a human who appreciates him for the goof that he is, and who will hold the other end of the plush toy for the rest of his silly life! HACHI A519333.

These pups are in Pleasanton, California too!

Story
Hey there! I'm KONA and I'm on a quest to find my furever home! I've been spending time at the shelter and making friends, but I'm ready to embark on a new journey with you. I'm an approximately 5-year-old Alaskan Malamute mix and weigh 75 lbs. Some of my friends think I may have some Siberian Husky in me. Regardless of my mix, I am told I am quite a handsome doggo! The great outdoors is my playground. I love to go out with my volunteer friends and chase a squeaky toy or ball. I don't know who invented squeaky toys but let's just say they are quite a hit with me. I'm always up for a game of fetch. It's a fantastic way for us to bond and have a blast together. I can't wait to bring my zest for life into your home. I really enjoy taking strolls and sniffaris and think I could make a great adventure buddy. I walk well on leash and know "sit,'' "down,'' "drop,'' and "come back.'' And with you and your yummy treats, I could learn even more. I'm not just looking for a home; I'm searching for a forever friend. Someone who will appreciate a loyal companion by their side; and let me tell you, I am quite the lovebug! I love to be close to my friends, get loved on, brushed, get sweet talk, and belly rubs (they are fantastic!). I can be dog selective - preferring the ladies. And I think they like me too! I was not well cared for before coming to the shelter, but you can see how spiffy I look now. And I am already vaccinated, neutered and microchipped and ready to go! If you're up for endless love - I'm your guy! ## Kona's neuter is being sponsored by TVAR ($35 adoption and, if applicable, licensing fees still apply) ## ## See video of Kona at the end of the photo gallery! ## TVAR.org/find-your-pet-adopt/dogs-puppies/ Kona's Shelter ID# is 81919. He's an adult, male, black and white, Alaskan Malamute/Siberian Husky mix. He currently weighs 75 lbs. He has already been vaccinated, neutered and microchipped and is ready to go to his new home! Kona is located in kennel D-1. ** Age shown is an estimate only ** THIS IS A COURTESY POSTING If you are interested, please call the East County Animal Shelter at 925-803-7040 to see if this dog is still available.

Story
**Meet Gus Gus this Saturday, August 17th from 10:00 to 1:00 at Dublin Petsmart West, 6960 Amador Plaza Rd.** ** Hi! I'm GUS GUS and meeting me is a must must! ** My new foster mom says I'm a terrific guest at her home. I'm friendly, super sweet, easy to manage and house trained! I sleep through the night on my bed and look forward to daily walks. I do great on leash and I get along with other respectful dogs. I'm a Siberian Husky mix who is about 4 years old and weighs 60 lbs. Although I'm a mix, my DNA shows I'm 100% a good boy! I'm neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. When I was waiting for my foster home, here's what the nice shelter volunteers wrote about me: Some of the things that make me such a good boy is that I take treats gently, walk well on leash, love getting pets on my soft red and white fur, and I love to just be in your company! I'm a shelter volunteer favorite, and any of my volunteer buddies will tell you how special I truly am. The best part of my day is when a volunteer pal comes up to my kennel to take me out to get some fresh air. I'm a happy-go-lucky boy who loves going for walks, training with treats, and playing with my fave toys. When I'm training with treats (especially those big Milk Bone ones!) I enjoy showing off the commands I know and I'm eager to learn more. Ask me to "sit, "come back, and go "down and I'll do so with my tail wagging, I pawmise! I know I can learn even more in my furever home. Even though I'm happy to just hang out and be by your side, I have a playful side and will get a good case of the zoomies. In fact, I love to run the fence line with most of the other shelter doggos and can probably outrun them too! ;) I think I'd make a pawsome brother and if you already have a dog, my staff friends will properly introduce us to see if we are comfortable with one another.
