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
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
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
Approximate weight: 66 lbsBoba is a striking Shepherd/Husky mix with a big personality and an even bigger heart. True to his breeds, he's smart, active, and always up for some fun. When he first meets new people or environments, he may come off a little nervous or unsure - but give him a moment, and he settles in beautifully.During playtime, Boba comes to life. He loves tennis balls, zooming around the yard, and happily splashing in the doggy pool when invited. He's responsive to cues and easy to handle on leash, making outings a breeze.While Boba is curious and social, he can sometimes come off a bit intense with younger or more timid dogs - but he's very responsive to correction and quickly redirects without issue. He thrives with structure and positive guidance.Boba is a dog who appreciates calm leadership, room to play, and someone who gets his energetic, loyal, slightly mischievous spirit. With the right person, he's going to make an incredible companion. Primary Color: Tri Color Weight: 66 Age: 3yrs 4mths 1wks

Story
Hi, I`m Kira. I have a playful spirit wrapped in a soft, shy shell. At first, I like to observe from a distance, but with a little time and kindness, you’ll discover a goofy, affectionate pup who loves to run, play, and show off my silly side! Once you are in my inner circle, my full personality really shines. I have made plenty of human friends with the staff and a few doggy friends as well. With some training and patience, I am sure I can become an ideal companion.

Story
Yote (like coyote) is looking for her forever home! She was rescued from Devore animal shelter after being put on the euthanize list and is still looking for her forever home after three months. She was found with deep wounds in her neck, most likely from another dog, so she'll need to be the only dog in the household. But she would make a great companion for someone looking to have one dog in their household. Even after being attacked, she still has such a trusting and loving personality. She loves her people deeply and just wants to hang out next to you all day. She has so many great qualities and she's naturally good mannered and very calm for a husky. Please consider opening up your home and heart to this sweet, loving girl. She's been through so much and deserves to find her forever home. (The adoption fee is to help cover some of the costs of her vet visit and spaying)

Story
Meet Olive, a beautiful 2-year-old female Siberian Husky with a heart as big as her fluffy coat and striking eyes. Olive's story is one of incredible resilience and second chances. She was surrendered to a high-kill shelter after being used for breeding, and when she arrived, she had very recently given birth—only to have her precious puppies taken from her. The heartbreak was visible: she was utterly devastated, withdrawn, and soon diagnosed with severe pneumonia that landed her on the euthanasia list. That's when our rescue stepped in. We refused to give up on her. Olive spent several weeks in the hospital receiving intensive treatment—we spared no expense to get her healthy again. Thanks to dedicated veterinary care and a lot of love, she made a full recovery and is now perfectly healthy, strong, and ready for her forever chapter. She is fully vaccinated, spayed (so she never has to endure the pain of losing another litter), microchipped, and up to date on all her care. Olive is a sweet, affectionate girl who craves gentle attention and patience. She's been through so much loss and hardship in her young life, and now she just wants to feel safe, cherished, and adored. She may need a little time to build trust, but once she knows she's loved, she gives it back tenfold with loyal companionship, husky cuddles, all without those classic dramatic Husky vocalizations. If you're an experienced dog owner with patience, time for affection and compassion. then Olivia will adore you. Olive is dreaming of a quiet, loving home where she can finally just be a happy, spoiled pup. No more shelters, no more using her body, no more goodbyes—just endless belly rubs, adventures, and the security she deserves. Olive is ready for adoption now. Could her forever family be yours? 💙
