Story
How this pet arrived: Franklin was brought in by a community member Why Franklin might be the one for you: Franklin is a sweet dog who has a more independent nature at first and likes to take his time getting to know new people. He may need some patience and gentle encouragement before he feels comfortable with close interaction and petting. Once he warms up, his affectionate side begins to shine through, making the bond especially rewarding. At SDHS:Franklin has been vaccinated, microchipped and spayed neutered. Franklin is now ready for his new family! Primary Color: Brindle Secondary Color: White Weight: 65 Age: 7yrs 0mths 1wks

FOR DOGS NOT LOCATED AT THE AKITA RANCH, PLEASE CONTACT THE SHELTER OR INDIVIDUAL LISTED IN THE DESCRIPTION DIRECTLY for more information on a particular dog. Tadeo is a wonderful young adult male Akita that is available for adoption!! He is a bouncy, fun, happy go lucky bear of a boy! Tadeo definitely marches to the beat of his own drum. He loves to go for walks and is very good on leash and seems to walk with a joyful pep in his step. He honestly always brings a smile to his caregivers faces because he loves to play, eat treats, shake and wrestle his rope toys and show his affection for you with so much joy. Tadeo just never seems to let life get him down. He would do best as an only boy because he really came from an early life of neglect and would adore to be the apple of his owners eye. We just love him and want to see him spoiled the way he deserves. Tadeo is recovering from some fly strike to his ears after a life or being outside but healing up nicely and is about as handsome as can be!
