Story
                                                                             KENNEL ID #01658&#226&#128&#139 Introducing ‘Ghost’ a 3 year old American Akita. We received him from a domestic violence case and his wounds have now healed from the previous abusive owner. Ghost is a super sweet fellow and needs a calm and confident and active owner who is attentive to his needs and instincts. His confidence once shattered is building back up with patient handling. He walks great on a leash and loves being close to you. He enjoys car rides to go for a hike and enjoys walks where he can take in all the sights and smells along the way. Akitas don’t accept the settings of doggie daycares, canine play dates, or dog parks. Ghost fits most of the typical description of the Akita breed. He strongly prefers to be the only dog in the household, will chase small animals &#239&#184&#143, cats ‍&#226&#172&#155, and livestock , and has protection tendencies over what he perceives to be his owners and property . Akitas are fast and inquisitive, and even with advanced training this is not a breed that can be off leash. Ghost is extremely affectionate and loyal and is seeking an owner to give all his loyalty and trust.  SafeHART) (jotform.com) Thank you for your interest in rescue.

They came to us incredibly underweight from being starved. They were covered in scars and wounds, they did not get along with each other and would fight, their injuries have been addressed. After everything they have been through, they are beyond sweet to their care takers and are loving all of the extra attention.

Story
Jinx is the absolute best dog in the world. I am so distraught to be rehoming her because she is so special, but I love her so much that I want to do what’s best for her. My job currently has me working crazy hours and she is home alone all day. I am in a long distance relationship and travel on weekends so I leave her with a friend. She is very easy and extremely tolerant of the lifestyle I have,but I can tell she would be so happy with someone who has time to take her more places and spend more time at home with her. She absolutely LOVES people. She’s outgoing and EXTREMELY OBEDIENT. She’s great with children and has never hurt a human. However, she does not like other animals. She is an American Akita, so her hunting instincts kick in. She needs a home with no other animals. She is 6 years young. She loves attention and cuddling, and she also is bark-less. She never barks at people or animals. I want to find her a home with someone who is attentive, loving, and will keep her active.

Story
Jinx was rescued in Texas and has lived with me for 6 years but unfortunately, due to life events, I’ve been displaced by my job and home and can no longer keep her under a roof. Jinx is an incredibly friendly and loving to dog to all people never once has she hurt a person. She’s playful when you want her to be and a couch potato otherwise. One of her best features is her beautiful wolf like appearance that she has and her large size of 100lbs! Everywhere she goes she catches the eyes of so many people. She has many talents and rare character traits not seen commonly in dogs like that she is a barkless dog meaning she won’t make a sound in your home and she’s intelligent so she knows many commands and tricks! She has to find a home before Friday Aug 2nd otherwise she will have to be surrender to a shelter. Please consider Jinx as your new friend and loving pet

Story
Meet Dasher - a dashing four year old Siberian Husky who is looking for an active home that can keep up with his Siberian antics. Dash has been with us for a couple of years. We're never in a hurry to "settle" for just any home and we knew Dash had some very specific needs. He had no manners when we met him. He liked other dogs but had no dog skills so his reactions were often misleading. Eventually, with the patient guidance of his breed experienced foster family he learned how to be a dog other dogs would want to be around. With that said, he would probably do best in a home where he receives all of the attention. Dash is mischievous so he'll require a vigilant home willing to keep treasured items out of his reach. This handsome guy has an overabundance of energy that needs to be well managed by a Siberian experienced adopter. He'll need to be exercised daily but that could eliminate your need for the health club membership! Due to his intensity, he cannot be placed in a home with children. With all of that said, Dasher has improved tremendously in his foster home. He is now appearing at various public events and is always a fan favorite. If you would like more information about this great dog please submit an application and his foster home will contact you. We have no doubt Dash will thrive in the right home that is committed to keeping him busy!

Story
This two year young beauty is ready to find her forever home. Lainey is a typical Husky and will do best with a family prepared for those young Husky antics. She loves people and makes friends wherever she goes. She gets along well with other dogs of similar size and energy level. No small dogs, cats, or critters though, please! Lainey likes to be the center of attention so she’ll do best in a home where her canine siblings will let her be in charge. At times she can be possessive of toys so supervision will be required. Huskies are known to be escape artists and Lainey is no exception. We’ll be looking for a very secure six foot fence that will keep her home safe where she belongs. She will quickly use toys or outdoor furniture to hop over the fence if left unsupervised and will dig under or climb over a fence to go on an adventure. Her family will need to be vigilant and willing to take precautions to keep her home safe! Lainey loves her bed and will happily settle in for a nap if she’s with her people. She’s still working on her crate skills but has made great progress. We highly recommend continuing with that to keep her safe and out of trouble inside your home. Lainey will waste no time to explore and swipe your treasures. Foster Dad’s wallet was amusing! Despite her young Husky mischievousness she takes correction well and is learning how to be a good girl. With positive reinforcement and patience, she will continue to make progress. Lainey has a lovely Siberian voice and loves to sing so your neighbors will need to have an appreciation for her music. An attached home or apartment might not be ideal. Lainey is microchipped, spayed, and fully vetted with current vaccinations. She is so much fun and has a bright future in front of her. She will make a wonderful addition to the right family. WE PROVIDE ADOPTIONS TO THOSE WITHIN A 100 MILE RADIUS OF OUR WEST CHESTER, PA OFFICE. IF YOU ARE OUTSIDE OF THAT AREA PLEASE CONTACT A SHELTER OR RESCUE GROUP IN YOUR AREA.
