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 environment.

Story
Meet Kiera, a Husky mix born in 2023, the calmest, most gentle soul. She might just be the best-behaved Husky you’ll ever meet! Kiera walks beautifully on leash, never makes a peep, and is completely nonchalant when passing other dogs. She also passed her cat test and was completely non-reactive. She already knows “sit” and recently met a 6-month-old male Shepherd/Husky puppy—she handled it with grace and ease.Kiera’s story began when she was abandoned at a mechanic’s lot, but thanks to the kindness of the workers there, she blossomed into the sweet, social girl she is today. After raising a couple of litters, it’s finally her turn to be the one cherished and cared for.Kiera is now ready for her next chapter and is looking for a foster—or even better, a forever home where she can shine as the loving companion she was always meant to be.January 19, 2026, 5:52 pm

Story
This 1-year-old, 50-lb male, possibly a Husky/Pit Bull mix, is located in Los Angeles, Southern California and is not currently in our care. He is playful, gentle, and not a barker. Friendly with both people and other dogs, he can be slightly shy at first but warms up quickly. He absolutely loves children, has great recall, stays close in familiar environments, and is potty trained to use pee pads indoors.He is up to date on vaccinations. Neutering will be arranged once in foster care or adopted. This sweet, smart boy is well-behaved, learns quickly even without formal training, and would make a wonderful companion in the right home.January 15, 2026, 9:23 pm
