Story
Hello! My name is Tank and I am a two year-old, 106lbs, neutered male Akita mix dog looking for a forever home. I am a bit anxious when introduced to new places and would like to be allowed to take my time to adjust. I am treat motivated and love to get pets. I have a lot strength and can be tough to walk if my person is not used to walking big guys like me. I would greatly benefit from being the only dog in the household due to me not being the most social when it comes to meeting other dogs. I need a human to match my high energy because I love to play and run around. On the flipside, I am very affectionate and will long for your attention. If I sound like the perfect dog for your household, then please come in to the shelter to get more information about my history and personality. I look forward to meeting with you!  Tank ID#A925738 If you are interested in meeting with me, please submit your fully completed Adoption Profile Form to adoptinquire@peninsulahumanesociety.org and an adoption counselor will call you to conduct a phone interview before making an appointment to meet in person. You must be 18 or older to submit an application.

Male, 4 yrs 10 mos

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Kazhem is a very handsome, somewhat shy Akita mix who warms up slowly to new people. But once he is comfortable he will share his goofy personality with you, running zoomies in the grass and showing off his great smile and happy tail wag.He gets along great with other dogs on the beach, the trails and probably in the dog park, but would prefer to be the only doggo in his forever home. Once Kazhem bonds with you he`s very devoted and wants to be with you all the time. Retirees, professionals who work at home, and anyone else who could make him a part of their daily life would be his dream family!

Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Tadeo is the complete package. On the outside he is a flashy red/black brindle with deep expressive eyes, weighing approximately 50 lbs. On the inside he is the essence of affection and vivaciousness with a sprinkling of puppy mischief, and it’s what makes him completely irresistible! At approximately 2 years old, he loves to play with his canine buddies but at the end of the day, everything’s alright with the world when he is snuggling with his humans. He is a master cuddler and will mesmerize you with his adoring eyes and loving mannerisms. When we rescued Tadeo from the shelter, we felt confident he was an Akita/Chow mix. There was no denying his blue Chow tongue, but he had many Akita characteristics. Much to our surprise his DNA test said he has no Akita genes! It makes no difference to us! For you Akita lovers, if you’re looking for a Northern breed with a stunning coat and outstanding temperament, don’t let his lack of Akita genes deter you because you don’t need any test to know his DNA is 100% lover! He is a staff favorite at the kennel, but what we pray for is a forever home for Tadeo before the holidays so he can experience the love and joy of having his own family. We are looking to place him in a home with someone with Northern breed experience. Tadeo is a people dog, however as is true to his breed mix he and can be protective of them and will bark to alert you of strangers approaching. Because he’s still a pup, he needs someone who is home and can commit to a training and socialization program to keep him on the right path to maintaining his incredible temperament. If you are interested in adopting, please complete our adoption application found on our website here: https://www.namasteakitarescue.com/how-do-i-adopt There you will find helpful information about the adoption process, FAQ's, etc **PLEASE NOTE, we must first approve an application before a meeting can be arranged between a prospective adopter and our dogs.
