Story
Coty, a Husky/Akita mix (white with black spots and ears), is very friendly and lovable to all people, and he's a "talker" which makes him very endearing! He will entertain himself with his toys to allow the adults to talk. He loves everything to do with food - there isn't a snack or morsel of food (dog or human) that he has turned away, and he loves going for car rides. Weighing in at an impressive 85 lbs, he's very well-mannered with a great disposition, neutered, chipped, is voice trained and behaves well on walks and at the doggy day care. He especially likes small dogs and kids. Up to date with shots and vet health checks; I give him eye drops once a day to prevent glaucoma. He stays outdoors right now (because my husband is severely allergic) but is fully trained for indoors (including using a doggy door) and likes to be inside with the "hoomans." Current supplies and medical records provided.

Story
Meet Cashew, a sweet 2-year-old Akita mix who is now available for adoption at the Newport Beach Animal Shelter.Cashew recently has a rare condition called masticatory muscle myositis, which affects her jaw muscles. She can eat and drink comfortably, but has some difficulty picking up toys.Cashew knows how to sit and lay down, and she gets bursts of playful energy from time to time. She would benefit from continued training to help her build confidence and skills. We are still learning how she feels about other dogs.If you think Cashew might be the right match for your home, we invite you to come meet her.

Story
Oversized teddy bear seeks snuggle partner. Cuddly, smart, and eager to please, swipe right if you can handle this high energy heart with a soft side. Hatchi’s story is heartbreaking — he came into the shelter with his brother, but when their owner returned, they only took his brother… leaving Hatchi behind in a high-kill shelter. He soon found himself on the euthanasia list. Hatchi is now in a loving foster home and is looking for his forever home where he can feel safe, loved, and supported again. Hatchi does require eye drops daily for the remainder of his life. In our dream world, Hatchi would find a human that would help him feel confident and secure in a FINALLY stable environnment.

Story
COURTESY POST! Calling All Senior & Husky Lovers!   Who doesn’t love a senior? Meet Bowie, an absolutely amazing 8–10-year-old handsome boy with the gentlest soul.   Bowie came from an LA shelter and immediately stole hearts with his kind, calm, and loving disposition. He is wonderful with adults, children, and other dogs, and truly embodies what people hope for in a senior companion—mellow, affectionate, and easygoing.   This incredible boy is looking for a long-term foster or a forever home where he can enjoy the comfort and love he so deeply deserves. Bowie is microchipped and up to date on vaccinations. The shelter was unable to neuter him, but despite being intact, his demeanor is so gentle and non-threatening that you’d never know it—his behavior is calm and settled, as if he already were.   Bowie would thrive in a quiet, senior-friendly home. He does not need long walks or an active lifestyle—he’s happy simply being by your side. If you’re looking for a loving companion for yourself or for your parents, Bowie truly checks all the boxes.   For more information, please contact Kristi at (949) 844-9366.    January 26, 2026, 12:59 pm
