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

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!!

**I am currently being housed at our New York Ave location. Come meet me at 1201 New York Avenue NE every day from 12pm-7pm- or visit humanerescuealliance.org/how-to-adopt to learn more.No time to come to the shelter? Meet me virtually during our open hours!Note that wait time may vary for virtual meet and greets, and we require same day pick up if you decide to adopt: https://waitwhile.com/locations/hra-nyawelcomestatio/r/welcome Do you like big, stoic, brave doggies? If you do, Alaska is waiting for you! This beauty queen is one of those breeds (Akita) that has it all. Alaska is a sturdy miss with a flair for turning heads. She is that gorgeous! She was found as a stray and like many lost dogs, she needed time to adjust. We worked with this girl- who just so happens to be very food motivated- and she is now ready for the next chapter of her life. She is a very sweet girl who has found her inner bounce- yes, she has an adorable little prancing walk that is going to make you smile. And we even caught her once chasing a butterfly! Ready for a busy pup that needs a job and lots of activities? Alaska is calling you! PS- Alaska is a shedding machine so keep that dog hairbrush as well as your vacuum cleaner on hand!

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
Hi. My name is Nyla! I am 4 years old. My birthday is November 4th 2019. My whole life I have lived in the same home with my family. I have experience with two young babies. Although I can be very energetic, I do love a good belly rub. Some tricks I learned at home were play dead, sit, stand, speak, roll over, lay, shake, and even what’s up! I am a happy and very playful dog. I love going on walks, but going to the dog park is my fav!! I get along with big and small dogs. My favorite snack is definitely apples and peanut butter. I am super food motivated. I hope to find a new home with a loving energetic family just like me!
