Story
Remi is such a great girl. It really breaks my heart to have to rehome her. Unfortunately, because of the economy I have had to pick up several extra shifts to cover bills and feel like I cannot give her the attention she needs. Remi is very energetic and would do best with someone that is active. She is crate trained and does well. I really just want her to go to a family that is going to love and care for her and give her the attention she needs. She does like to jump on you out of excitement btu she is great with people and kids. Very smart and learns easily

Akita

Male, Young
San Marcos, CA
Size
(when grown) X-Large 101 lbs (46 kg) or more
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
This magnificent Akita was an abandoned stray in our neighborhood who we have taken in, nurtured, and helped recover back to full health. He is a wonderful, sweet and loving dog with a great personality - eager to please and very trainable. Gets along quite well with the smaller dog we already had. Calm and intelligent. Still quite young (around 18 months) with some puppy traits. He just happens to be quite a large animal (100+ pounds). For some, this will be exactly what they are looking for. He needs the right family and situation to be able to stretch his legs and get the attention and activity he deserves. He has won our hearts - but with an imminent downsizing coming for us, we simply cannot keep him long term. All shots up to date, with recent vet exams, and will pay for neutering if new owner would prefer that. Thank you for looking, and we hope to find an amazing new home for this great dog! He really deserves it.
