Apple Jacks is a young (born 1.18.23) male Husky/Akita mix. He is up to date on vaccines, microchipped, on flea/heartworm prevention, and we're still fine-tuning house, crate, and leash training. Apple Jacks was born in our rescue, along with his other siblings we named the Cereal Killer Crew, in keeping with the theme started with their mom, Cheerio : Frosted Mini Wheat "Frosty", Cinnamon Toast Crunch "Cinnamon", Cocoa Puff "Cocoa", Cap'n Crunch "Cap'n", Lucky Charms "Lucky", Fruit Loops "Fruity", and Apple Jacks "Jack". These pups (born 1.18.23) were born to Akita mom, Cheerio, so we HAD to name them after cereals 😅 We didn't know Cheerio was pregnant when she arrived with us. We took her to the vet for what we *thought* was a UTI but.... surprise! She was pregnant. She was surrendered to the shelter with 3 huskies, including an intact male, so we feel we can safely call these guys Akita/Husky mixes (Huskitas). She whelped 8 puppies (4 girls, and 4 boys), but one of the females (Rice Crispy) was still born. Apple Jacks is very friendly with people and other dogs. He would do well in a home with a female canine companion.

We require anyone interested in one of our orphans fill out an application. If that is approved, we will do a home inspection and then have the whole family, including any dogs, come meet the dog(s) they are interested in. We ask an adoption donation of $350; this helps defer the costs of veterinary care and daily upkeep of our orphans. We are non-profit and all funds come from public donations.
