Story

We got Piper from a rescue as a puppy. She is 8 years old now. Piper is a very sweet dog as long as there is someone with her at all times. She isnt very active. She suffers from anxiety when left alone. My mom lived with us until last year and was home with Piper all the time but she has passed and we work full time and she suffers all day. She doesn't like a crate if no one is home but will tear things up if not in a crate. Piper needs a home where someone is home constantly. We love Piper and want her to be happy, but she just is not happy here because she is alone alot. We have another dog that Piper gets along with but that doesn't make her happy or help with her separation anxiety. Piper would thrive with a stay at home or retired person.

Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meet HIROMI HIROMI was turned into the shelter as a found dog. No one ever came for her. Despite being failed by her former person, this sweetheart remains devoted and loving. After Hiromi’s arrival she was initially timid and lacked confidence. She can still be somewhat apprehensive but she has opened up and trusted us enough to let her true colors shine! She is silly, sensitive, refreshingly affectionate, playful and a free spirit. Her absolute favorite past time is to be showered with love and give it in return. Her gentle, resilient nature is inspiring but not surprising. Hiromi is very communicative by expressing a multitude of emotions with her eyes. Her body language is inviting and she understands how to use it to subtly let you know what’s on her mind. She is also an Akita so stubbornness is part of her DNA! Her ideal adopter should have a calm home environment and be able to provide consistency and a daily routine, where she can continue to expand her horizons. Hiromi gets excited for her daily walks and is a great traveler! She seems non-reactive to other dogs and might do well with a mellow male dog. She is approx 4 yrs old and weighs 57 lbs. She is also crate and house trained. She is ready to pledge her love and devotion! Are you?! If you are interested in adopting, please complete our adoption application found on our website here: https://www.namasteakitarescue.com/how-do-i-adopt There you will find helpful information about the adoption process, FAQ's, etc **PLEASE NOTE, we must first approve an application before a meeting can be arranged between a prospective adopter and our dogs.

Emi

Akita

Female, 9 yrs 10 mos

Walnut Creek, CA

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meet Emi Emi’s sleek, brindle coat is a thing of beauty and so magnificent to behold. Engaging, charismatic, gregarious, and spirited are the first things you sense about her from the moment she enters a room. Emi exudes a brand of joy that makes her impossible to resist! Not until you witness her graceful elegance and see a bit of frost around her muzzle, do you realize she is a senior beauty with an abundance of life experiences to share. She’s 8 yrs old and has found herself homeless, but she’s seen enough in life to know there’s still a wonderous journey ahead. She is a lover of people and she’d much rather be enjoying a fun adventure with you by her side on interesting walks or trips to the beach, than be left at home alone. She needs to be an only dog and is not suitable with cats. She is approximately 60 lbs. and seems unaware she has some arthritis and hip dysplasia. But as you can see, she enjoys playing with her toys and doing tricks for treats. Her healthy curiosity keeps her engaged in life’s adventures, though she also loves her beauty naps. Please don’t let her age deter you from considering giving her a home. Her heart is overflowing with love. If you are interested in Emi, please complete our adoption application in the link below.

Khelani

Siberian Husky

Walnut Creek, CA

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Khelani - If these blue eyes could talk…they might tell you of a lifetime so difficult it left him with just enough strength to finally curl up in a kind soul’s driveway. Today these blue eyes are full of love and a desire to be part of a family. Khelani, a name picked out as the kind person who found him described him as a majestic creature, is about 4+ years old and weighs about 61 lbs. If you are looking for a pretty mellow fellow, Khelani is the right dog for you. He is not much of a barker and walks like a gentleman on a leash. He is gentle and friendly to humans and is interested in playing with non-alpha dogs. He would prefer to be in a home where he is a part of the daily action and likes to be indoors with his humans.
