Story
Theoden is a beautiful 4 year old male. He is BEYOND sweet and will force you to pet him at some point. He just picks his paw up and will give it to you for shaking and trick you into showing him love. If that doesn't work prepare for the whole show, complete with belly rubs. There's no avoiding it. I love him to death but I cannot take him, his sister, or my mothers beloved husky with me when I move at the end of August. If we do not find a home for all 3 of them, be it separate or together, I will be forced to put them down. Please help me avoid this tragedy. All of the pups are fixed, crate trained, house trained, good with cats, know basic commands, and they love all of the best rubs. Just give them a bone and they're quite happy! Please message or call me if you'd like to meet him or hear more about him! I am also getting vaccinations soon. They lapsed June 25, 2024. He has never tested positive for heartworm or any other disease/parasites, etc.

Story
Eowyn is a beautiful 4 year old female. A special thing about her is that she only has one kidney. There is nothing about her behavior or physical capabilities affected by this, I just tend to make sure she has tons of fresh water and gets to use the bathroom as much as she pleases. (Which is a normal amount, but she will get excited for the door if she really has to go.) She's very sweet and will force you to pet her at some point. There's no avoiding it. I love her to death but I cannot take her, her brother, or my mothers beloved husky with me when I move at the end of August. If we do not find a home for all 3 of them, be it separate or together, I will be forced to put them down. Please help me avoid this tragedy. All of the pups are fixed, crate trained, house trained, good with cats, know basic commands, and they love all of the best rubs. Just give them a bone and they're quite happy! Please message or call me if you'd like to meet her or hear more about her! Shots coming!

Story
Akai camd from a shelter in NC.  Here is what the shelter said about her: 'This beautiful girl is Akaie. She has been fostered out twice to potential adopters from our shelter but returned both times, as neither potential adopter was familiar with the breed and she was “too much” for them. There was no mention of aggression or anything dealing with behavior, just that she was too strong for one’s wife to walk while he is at work and then the second foster read information on the breed and decided she was not a match for her. We would love to find an Akita Rescue that could pull her from our facility and find the right family for her. ' The shelter workers adored her. Here is what we know about her from her time with us.  She is great with people.  Very particular about what dogs she likes.  Has a fairly high prey drive, so no small dogs or cats. She is at our kennel.  As with all Akitas, she does not like to potty in her run.  Update: Akai has been in a foster home for about 3 weeks. She’s been to the groomers and the vet, no issues with anyone there. She will sit, down and dance when you ask to. She mostly walks well with minor corrections.  She is housebroken and the foster says she is a gem. She has been to the foster’s place of business (store), and has been okay with most of the customers.  She is not crazy about men in baseball caps. A contractor waring a hat met her and when he held out his hand for her to sniff, she growled.  Once he removed his hat, she was fine. One man walked into the store and she disliked him so much she had to be out of the store.Sh barked intensely at him.  Akai needs a home with some Akita experience.

Story
Mama Kiki and her 2 week old puppies luckily landed in the shelter as strays.  The shelter contacted rescue, we were lucky to find a temporary foster and then regular foster home for them.  She will be available once her puppies are weaned and she is spayed.  Both foster homes say she is very sweet and food oriented.  She was bone thin when she came to us, probably having been in poor shape before her pregnancy.  Watch her blossom once she is no longer feeding her pups. The oicture of her wwith the white Akita is her meeting and interacting with him, the resident dog at the foster home.See more pix and  video of mom and her pups at https://www.facebook.com/akitarescue.org/  Ashoka and Omega have applications on them.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.August 12, 2024, 5:22 pm
