Pupster was left in a box in the trash with three of her siblings at my work. She appeared to be about six weeks old at the time. We brought her home with hopes of keeping her, but have realized that we are just too busy to give her the time and attention she deserves.

Story
I rescued Zara in Tennessee. She had been running about. Guessed age 1-3 years but she was definitely a puppy. She grew a lot and had puppy behaviors. She had separation anxiety and hated being crated. She can crate now if it s the right cage and anchored so she can not move it. Cage no longer than 4 hours. She does well in outdoor kennel for up to 8 hours but again it has to be inescapable. She adores children and her people. Loves people more than dogs but she does play well with those closer to her size. She’s a Velcro dog. She will not be happy if left alone too often. Very smart but will need consistent boundaries or she will lean toward being dominant. She responds better to praise than loud or physical forcing. She now will stay in yard or very close at neighbors WHILE I’m home. You can’t leave her out and go. She will look for someone who is home. Scared of thunder and fireworks. She is a love bug. Not a working dog.

Looking for a dog who’s equal parts strength, charm, and mischief? Meet Rambo, an Akita mix who will keep you laughing and on your toes. This handsome powerhouse is full of personality. He's confident, clever, and ready to rule your heart (and probably your house). Rambo is a born leader and needs a confident, experienced handler who appreciates a dog with a big presence. He’s loves to show off his smarts — especially if there are treats or toys involved! With his goofy grin and harmless “gotcha” moments, Rambo’s trickster spirit will keep life fun as long as you remember to reinforce the rules. Rambo prefers to be your one-and-only, having the spotlight all to himself. If you’re confident, active, and ready to team up with a dog who’s equal parts strength, smarts, and silliness, Rambo might just be your perfect match.

Kassidy lives life with intensity! With energy on the higher side, she is looking for activity and engagement in her new home. Because she is a lot of dog, she requires someone with prior dog experience to give her structure. She excels at training and adores people. But she is obsessive about other animals, so needs to be an only pet for everyone's happiness.  Est DOB: Feb 2022 * Est weight: 50# * Breed unknown - guess based on looksMarch 7, 2026, 12:01 pm
