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
I am a good boy. I promise. When I was born I was a good boy with my brothers and sisters. When my new human family came to get me I loved them with all my heart. I was so happy. I was left alone in the tiny dirty side yard. But I loved my family and knew they would realize that I was a good boy and let me come inside to be their best friend. When the rain came and my tiny enclosure was so muddy, I was so cold. But a nice lady from animal control came to do a well check and my family made a small cover, placed some shavings on the ground and gave me water and food. I was sure that if I could stay clean they would love me. But the hot days started and my master must have fallen into hard times, I sometimes got meals and sometimes I did not. My neighbor who always had major fights with my master but always stopped to talk to me through the fence started to help with my meals and water. Something horrible must have happened to my family for them to disappear. I must get out of this enclosure to find them. As I planned my escape this nice animal control lady came to my home and took me away. I heard them say my family left me behind when they moved. Was I not a good boy?? I must find my family to let them know i am very sorry for any problem I may have caused and that I can be a good boy. I like it here . I walk outside to get attention from volunteers and sleep inside when the weather is bad. You see the shelter is full and I have been here the longest so I am back outside so they don't put me to sleep. They are very nice to me and I have such a big backyard now. I am able to keep clean and the kennel I use at night is also clean. Someone from Lucky Dog Rescue just came to see me and they told me they will look for.a foster family for me. I must have been a good boy. This is Gomes story. Since he was a puppy he was left in a tiny muddy side yard with no food water or shelter. After multiple visits from animal control the owner refused to surrender him and provided minimal shelter, food and water until they just moved and left him behind without water or food. The neighbor who often called animal control provided him with water and food through the fence. He is about one to 2 years old, is sweet and loves people. He needs to learn to not pull on leash walks, meet dogs more politely as he likes other dogs and gets excited, and learn to live inside a home. But he apears to be very clean. His kennel is clean and he will not pee or poop in it Gomes is medium energy dog , who gets cues from other dogs and backs off if he is being too much. So, he is excitable at first but calms down quickly with other dogs. He likes to jump on people but is learning not to. Shelter is full so in order not to euthanize him he was allowed to live in the back of the shelter. His days are numbered. If you can help him please let me know, olveiry@yahoo.com.
