Acquired: 2.8.20 Adopted: 4.70.20 Returned: 7.30.22 Gabby is a young (born 9.14.19) spayed female Akita. She is up to date on vaccines, microchipped, on flea/heartworm prevention, house trained, crate trained, and leash trained. Gabby came to us with her parents, Kiyoko and Keito, and her two brothers, Gabe and Gordon. They had all been left in the care of a friend of their owner when he fell on hard times. After several months, he told the friend to go ahead and find somewhere for them to go. Gabby was adopted out in 2020, but returned due to a tragedy in the family. She would do well in a home by herself or with the right male, canine friend.

Valerian is an adult (born approx 4.1.17) neutered male Akita. He is up to date on vaccines, microchipped, heartworm negative, on flea/heartworm prevention, house trained, crate trained, and leash trained. Valerian was surrenderd to the shelter in Chesapeake, VA when the owner could no longer care for him. He had previously lived outside in a pen and was uncertain and stand off-ish when he first came to us, but he warmed up to a goofy, woo-ing, wiggle butt boy. He is just so sweet! Valerian would be fine in a home with children 12+ due to his high energy level and as an only pet.

Story
Dex is 3 years old. We got him when he was a puppy in Texas. He truly is the sweetest chill dog ever. He looooooove snuggles and his walks. The only issues we have with Dex is that he has skin allergies and since he is not neutered, he does not do well with other male dogs in his home/space. At the groomers/outside the house, he gets along with every dog and even in our home there has never been an incident, moreso him just growling and pouting when there is another dog in his space. He has also done very well around children. With his allergies, his tummy/under his arms will get super red. We have tried different medications, but apple cider vinegar with water in a spray bottle has helped the most. We are looking for someone to give this guy the most love possible. He needs a home where he can be the only dog (if possible) and get all the attention and love he deserves. He is also crate and house trained!

Story
Storm is a 5 year old female that is up to date on rabies and is house trained. We adopted her from the SPCA 4 years ago and have loved our time with her but she really needs a back yard and we live in an apartment. She is such a loving and sweet dog that loves cuddles and car rides, but requires a lot of attention. She must have a home that has a back yard and someone with a lot of time on their hand. She is good around kids but not really sure about other dogs. She likes to play with other big dogs but likes to be the alpha.
