Story
Ruger is an incredibly handsome 4 year old purebred American Akita. He is friendly to new people, affectionate with those he knows, and likes to play tug-o-war! When it's time to sleep, Ruger carries his "baby" (stuffed animal) around and then snuggles up with it.  Before coming into rescue, Ruger lived in a home with kids, and another dog. We think he would be happiest being an only dog, and in a home with  Like most Akitas, Ruger will do best in a home without other dogs, or children under the age of 18.

Story
MAIKO needs a Miracle - - - LOVELAND, COLORADO   Maiko has lived his entire life with his family, and after facing a life-changing situation, they have no other option but to rehome him. He has been loved - intensely - since he was a pup, and is well socialized, but like many Akitas, he would do best as an only dog in the home and in a home with kids older than 10.   He is going to turn 8 in March, is neutered, up to date with all his vaccinations, and is microchipped. He has no known health issues and has never been involved in a bite incident with a human or other dog.   His family is devastated and has asked for our help in rehoming him, and avoid him having to be moved to Southern California. Please share this post. He is located in Loveland, Colorado (Just North of Denver). August 15, 2024, 1:11 pm

Story
A volunteer spent time with Ren and had this to say: `This big boy is a Huggy Bear! He is playful and affectionate, choosing to lean into your legs, and sometimes will try to full-on hug you while standing. He enjoys having his back and chest scratched with a comb to remove excess fur. Ren will give you his belly for rubs and pets, and playfully swat at you with his giant paws. He does have a good bit of energy, hopping around, encouraging you to play with him! He doesn’t appear to be highly treat motivated - it took me a few different treats to find one he’d actually take, and even then, he wasn’t excited about it. No, he appears mostly driven by love and scratches. He’ll probably be best with an owner who will appreciate his need for affection, and won’t be intimidated by his size, as he will DEFINITELY go for hugs.`

Then he got a text from a lady saying how could you throw the dog out of your car window while driving. Foster accidentally forwarded that text to a rescue . Rescue team contacted the number on the text and it was someone who witnessed the foster throwing the dog out of the car window. The witness was going opposite direction and saw foster throwing the dog out of car window. Witness made a turn, got the dog and took Hannah to Carson Animal Shelter. Foster was begging rescue to give the dog back and even wanted to adopt her but rescue team denied it and picked up Hannah from the shelter.
