My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Akela, the six-year-old wonder pup with a heart as big as her wagging tail! While she might not be the biggest fan of furry companions, Akela is an absolute delight with people, making her the perfect four-legged friend for a solo adventurer or a family with older kids. This lovable lady has a few preferences that make her tail wag even faster – she adores PB Kongs, hard chew toys, and antlers, proving that she's got a taste for the finer things in the canine world. Akela's not one to shy away from a good walk or a cozy snuggle session, and her foster parent can vouch for her love of being fully covered under a blanket, head and all – talk about a dog with a sense of humor!

When it comes to training, Akela knows the basics like sit, down, and paw, showcasing her well-mannered side. While she might not have a repertoire of tricks, she's a good listener and a loyal companion who's always ready for a leisurely walk or a cuddle on the couch. Don't be surprised if she paws at you for attention or wiggles her butt with excitement – it's all part of the charm that makes Akela one of a kind. So, if you're looking for a canine companion to share your days filled with walks, snuggles, and maybe a few PB Kongs, look no further than Akela, the queen of blanket burritos and heartwarming moments! Adopt her today and let the adventures begin! 🐾❤️

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

The first step in the adoption process is to fill out an application (applicant must be at least 23 years of age). Once your application is received a volunteer will contact you to discuss your application. All references listed will be contacted, along with a call to your veterinarian to make sure your current/former pets are/were up to date on all vaccinations. We also complete a background check and home visit will be performed. Once all that is complete, and application is approved, we will arrange meet and greets with our adoptables that may be a good fit for your family and lifestyle. If a perfect match is found, an adoption contract will need to be signed, along with an adoption fee.
