Story
Sasha has a wealth of training in her hip pocket; and as a result, we know a thing or two about this girl and what might be her best placement. Despite lots of work, Sasha is not leaving her difficult background behind. The original household acquired Sasha from a breeder in Mississippi. Originally intending to get one puppy, the family was talked into taking not only Sasha but also the remaining male sibling. They had no idea what they were getting in to, and by the time Illinois Humane was brought into the picture the household had a near disaster on their hands. Proper training was not undertaken, and it is suspected many improper methods were used with the dogs. Sasha can be a very loyal, good companion. She has some considerations for her to be successful in a home. She needs a home where she will be the only dog. It is best if the household consists of only one or two people. It would be best if it is a household without a lot of other people coming in and out, or a means to put Miss Sasha up, so to speak, when others will be visiting. No kids. No small animals. We advise a series of meetings for the meet and greet, so the potential home can meet her over time, and visit with her trainer. She will make a great dog for someone who understands the breed, and can accommodate her limitations.

Story
Samoa is a stunning and spirited 1-year-old large male Akita with a heart as big as his paws! This sweet boy may come across as aloof when you first meet him, but give him a little time, and you’ll discover a playful and affectionate cuddlebug who loves to shower his people with love. Samoa thrives in a structured environment where he can bond deeply with his humans. He’s people-friendly, treat-motivated, and eager to learn—making training sessions both productive and fun. He’s mostly potty trained and does well crated at night, settling in comfortably for a good night’s sleep. While Samoa’s loyalty and protectiveness are part of what makes him special, they also mean he needs a home that understands his needs. He is dog-selective and reacts to other dogs, especially when he feels the need to protect his space or his people. For this reason, he’ll do best as the only pet in the home or with a compatible large dog companion after a careful introduction. Due to his high prey drive, Samoa is not suited for homes with cats, small dogs, or other small animals. When it’s just you and him, Samoa is the ultimate companion. He loves to play, snuggle, and show off his goofy side once he’s comfortable. He’s looking for an adopter who can offer him love, patience, and guidance as he continues to grow into the amazing dog he’s meant to be. If you’re searching for a loyal and protective best friend who’s also a giant cuddlebug at heart, Samoa might just be your perfect match!
