Story
Nala is a purebred akita. She has been rehomed now 4 times now so i’m trying to find her a forever home. She’s very sweet and has tons of energy. Would prefer her to move into a home with a backyard, but has been an apartment dog so if needed. She may do better either being an only dog or in a home with a younger dog than her. She comes with a crate, her bowl, some toys, and her leash.

Story
Petey is a fun-loving boy who is great with every person he has met, young and old. He might be okay around other dogs, but he's selective. He walks well on leash, until he sees a rabbit, squirrel or cat, but he would easily adjust to a no-pull harness. He loves to get belly rubs!

Sky was abandoned by her previous owners and had been living on the streets for months when we first found her. Despite being let down by people, she hasn't let that affect her ability to trust and love. She is very affectionate and loves receiving pets. She has a very sweet temperament and gets along well with other dogs. Sky loves going on walks and exploring. She would make a great adventure buddy! She's been spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, and is on flea and tick prevention. She does not have any special needs or medical issues that we are aware of.
