Story

#A5739053 Meet Arnie , a 3-year-old Akita mix boy, with a luscious smoky brindle coat that looks like shadows dancing across his back, accented by bright splashes of white on his chest and tippy toes. Though underweight for his size, he already brings a regal, imposing presence - one that will look even more handsome with extra meals, snacks, and plenty of TLC to help him fill out. In the shelter, Arnie can seem shut down and cautious, tail low, but once he warms up, that tail curls high and his true personality shines through. He absolutely adores the ladies, seeming most comfortable around female humans, and would thrive in a female-led household. Friendly, loose-bodied, and social with other dogs - especially active pups - he could make a wonderful playmate or sibling with careful introductions. Best suited for an adults-only home, Arnie will need slow, patient introductions to new people, but the reward is a loyal, loving companion with so much heart to give. Come scoop up this darling boy today! -3 year old brown brindle Akita mix -64 pound male - not yet neutered due to a little doggy cold, so will need to be adopted on a trust waiver promising to have him neutered as soon as well enough to do so -up to date on all shots and preventatives, so ready to go home with you today! However, he did pick up a little doggy cold at the shelter, so will need to be adopted on a health waiver - adopter to follow up with own vet for further diagnostics and potential treatment -came to the Baldwin Park Animal Care Center on 11/17/25 as a stray -great on leash, definitely seems potty trained, fabulous with other large dogs, and eager to please, so a good candidate for basic commands/training! -best for an adults only home, with slow intros for any new people ARNIE’S VIDEO: https://youtube.com/shorts/O-2ONMc6t0I For more information, contact volunteer Lisa at lisaa@unitedhopeforanimals.org ------- United Hope for Animals (UHA) is a volunteer group and does not have a facility for animals.

Story

Bonded with Batgirl (A136383). Barely a #shelterselfie with another bonded pair Echelon (blonde, M) and Batgirl (fuzzy, F).They are both aged at 8yrs old, and share the energy of having nothing to prove to anyoneanymore (Hazzah to that!). They both loved making new friends and using their time in the yard to get pets from any available hands. They exude happiness and love and absolutely find safety in being with each other. Batgirl is a bit goofier and more curious, with Echelon being a bit more chill and casual, but equally determined to get some attention. They`ll do well in just about anyhome environment, and don`t need a ton of exercise to be happy. Some long walks and an occasional bout of play is about all they`ll need. Echelon has some very classic `dog` goodlooks. Batgirl looks a bit like a very skilled drawing come to life. They`re both incredibly sweet and fun and will be excellent buddies to watch TV on the couch with at the end of every day.These hard to resist fluff balls will make any family more complete- so if that sounds good toyou, head into #burbankanimalshelter and meet this dynamite duo for yourself!

Story

This young guy is super fun and a total looker. He’s an athlete for sure….. he just may not know the rules of the game….. but he’s super up to learn! He is really friendly and eager to play, but also just loves getting attention (treats are good too) and knowing what was going on. He seems to be an Akita mix and definitely has that Akita attentiveness. He’s a nice mid size (much smaller than a standard Akita) and has a medium level of fluff. He will need regular brushing to maintain that fluff, and regular exercise to manage his play level. In return, he will be your absolute bestie forever! You will never have a better bestie than him! You also will have a dog photo for any occasion at the ready on your camera roll cuz you’re gonna take so many pictures of this heartbreaker. Tonga will need some basic training and a nice consistent walk/ exercise/play routine.From Tonga`s Day Hike Foster on 9/15/25Tonga was great today. Like Stacie said, he’s a little wild at first but calms down. He seemed to enjoy the car ride. He loved all the scents on the hike and loved leaving his own scent in return! We saw a deer and he didn’t freak out. We walked past several other dogs and he was slightly reactive to the first but then was much calmer as we passed the others later in the hike. He was easy on leash. These are the best of the pictures that I got. from hike in Oct 2025Holy smokes, what a fantastic dog! Tonga is a great little buddy. Get him out of the shelter and he shines. He sniffs and pulls and pees on everything (`I`m peeing in nature, y`all!`), but once he realizes that this is a walk that will last more than 20 minutes, he hits a dignified stride. Tonga is incredibly smart, and I suspect he knows more words than the average 5 year old. He pulled a lot, especially early on, but he is an obedient dog and eventually mellowed out. He is a playgroup all star, and this showed throughout the 2-hour plus walk. He was not reactive to other dogs, was chill with people, and didn`t lunge at cyclists (like a certain lady I know). I decided to trust him to enter Romancing the Bean for a coffee, and I held onto the traffic loop to be safe (`You are peeing in this cafe over my dead body!`). No issues at all. He seems to understand that good boys do not urinate inside and he is most definitely a good boy.11/26/25 075800- Kelly took Tonga out on a walk. -SR

Story

This young Akita is very sweet and playful. We couldn`t bring out enough toys for his liking. Squeaky ball? Yes please! Chewy bone? You betcha! Crinkly stuffy? Heck yeah! PB is up for all of it! Also a pretty big fan of getting scratches and ear tugs- so let`s not leave those out. He is happy & eager to become buddies with you without much delay (maybe being the toy supplier helps?) and it is next to impossible to not fall in love. He`s a bigger strong pup with a LOT of fluff to maintain- so he`s not a dog to bring into your life casually. He needs training, grooming, exercise, and consistency every day. He`s going to add a little work into your life- but it`s the kind of work that feels like fun with such a goofy buddy. Akita`s are a breed that can getdiscriminated against so please do research on both sides of any argument about them before making a commitment. This fella in particular is very friendly, playful, and pretty easy going overall- as they mostly tend to. If you`re not hesitant about a big fluffy goofball who needs some help learning the proper ways of the world, and enjoy meeting the loving gaze of a pricelessly cute face every day- come in and meet him today.

Story

Meet Hatchi! A soulful young adult Akita/Siberian Husky mix currently in Roseville, CA, whose essence is a whirlwind of energy wrapped in a majestic tricolor coat and anchored by a loyal, tender heart. Hatchi is a 90-pound oversized teddy bear who’s still adjusting to life with only one working eye, the result of stabilized glaucoma. Though he may see shadows, sudden movements can startle him, especially during walks. Because of this, he thrives with a confident, experienced caregiver who can help him feel grounded and secure. Hatchi is strong on leash and reactive to dogs, cats, bikes, and cars that pass by, so he needs someone who’s comfortable working with large breeds and understands the power of positive reinforcement and patient training. Despite his reactivity, Hatchi is a sweet, snuggly companion at heart. He melts into affection and is eager to please, especially when treats are involved! This intelligent boy responds to his name, is crate trained, house-trained, and has lived harmoniously with young children aged 7 and 8. He may do well with a calm, female dog companion but would not be compatible with cats. Daily life with Hatchi includes administering eye drops, which he’ll need for the rest of his life. Thankfully, his love of treats makes this task pretty manageable. A fenced yard is essential, not because he’s tried to escape, but because his Husky instincts and natural curiosity make outdoor safety a must. Hatchi is vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped, and he’s ready to embark on a new chapter filled with love, structure, and confidence-building. His sensitive nature means he looks to his human for reassurance, and with the right support, he has the potential to blossom into a truly remarkable companion! Whether you’re curled up on the couch or working on training together in the yard, Hatchi will be right by your side, ready to soak up your affection and offer his loyalty in return. Could you be the guiding heart Hatchi needs to help him thrive? If you’re interested in providing Hatchi with a loving home, please email meetme@joyfulpets.com for more information about adopting him. Please note that Hatchi is currently in foster care through one of our trusted rescue partners and will remain with his foster family until the right match is found. Because rescue-partner pets are managed directly by their respective organizations, their adoption process, requirements, and fees may differ from Joyful Pets’ direct rehoming program. Our team will be happy to connect you with the rescue and help guide you through their process to ensure everything goes smoothly.
