Story
Hello, my name is Chase. I am a 3 yr old Akita. I love to play fetch and tug of war with my humans. I enjoy being lazy, guarding the door, window watching, and exploring new territories. I am also described as quiet, smart, agile, independent and cautious around new things and new people. I’m looking for permanent home with an experienced owner who is comfortable with leading large dogs, patient and willing to give me lots of belly rubs and attention. Would you like to learn more about me?

Story
https://foha.org/pet/kai2024/ Hey there, amazing humans! I'm Kai , the most pawsome pupper at the shelter, and I'm on the lookout for my forever family! With my big brown eyes and wagging tail, I'm a bundle of joy ready to fill your life with love and laughter. I adore belly rubs, playing fetch, and cuddling up for movie nights. I'm a quick learner and super friendly There is still a lot to learn about me, like how I am with other dogs, cats or kids. I haven't shown that side of my personality yet. Once I do, my friends at FOHA will help me update my bio. In the meantime, if you would like to come meet me, submit an application and we can set up a time to get to know each other. See you soon!!

Story
Hi! I'm Shino! Since you're reading this, you're obviously looking for a new best friend-and, hey, so am I! I'm a 6 yr old Akita. Neutered and up to date on all that wellness stuff. I was adopted by a family 4 years ago, but they had to give me up when they couldn't care for me any longer. Loosing my home has been rough, so I'm looking for a new one! How about yours? You probably want to know more about me. Hmmm...I am a big cuddly guy with a big heart. I am a pretty typical akita: loyal, loving, and playful with my family but aloof with strangers. I missed out on some vital socializing with my last family, so I prefer to be the only kid in the house (both human and dog). My last human was female, so I am partial to them. But I will warm up to men with a little patience. A home that speaks Akita is preferred (aka akita breed experience). If you want to meet up act fast! My fabulous cuddle skills won't stick around long. Adoption fee will be waived for enrollment in obedience training. Adoption process requires: completed application, meet ups to ensure compatibility, and a home visit. Please contact Denise Whitmore to schedule a meet-up or for more information.

Story
This gal is gorgeous, and she knows it! Sasha is a young, playful pup looking for her new family to go on adventures with and also unwind on the couch together after a great day of exploring. She can be sensitive when people push into her space more than she`s ready for, so she`ll need an adults-only home ready to take the time to build a trusting relationship with this wonderful lady! In return, you`ll get a die-hard best friend for life! If you`d like to see if Sasha is the pup for you, come meet her today between 11am-5:30pm. Are you viewing my information on a third party site like Petfinder.com? Make sure you stop by www.loudoun.gov/animals to see the most up-to-date information about me! I might already have an adoption pending!
