Story
Note: Special Needs Dog due to Behavior/Shyness. This dog is bonded and must be adopted with Pepe. Are you looking for a gorgeous dog? What about a very shy dog? If you answered yes to both of these questions, Chee Yoo could be the perfect dog for you. Chee Yoo is a beautiful, 5 yo medium/large female dog that came to Jelly's Place from South Korea in July 2021. Why has such a wonderful dog not been adopted yet? Read further to find out. Chee Yoo is very timid and nervous around people. She LOVES other dogs, and has become best friends with another Jelly's dog named Pepe. Pepe has a very similar personality to Chee Yoo and the two of them are like 2 peas in a pod. Chee Yoo can guard her food which is not surprising given where she came from. So, care needs to be taken with another dog when food, especially high value foods, are around. During her time at Jelly's Place, Chee Yoo has gone from hiding in the corner to taking daily walks on a leash. She is becoming more comfortable and confident, but still has a long way to go. She has learned to trust her primary caregiver, but is still not comfortable interacting with other people. Chee Yoo would do best in a calm, quiet home with dog experience and older or no children. Chee Yoo is NOT a dog for first time adopters. She needs adopters who are willing to be patient and to give her the time and space she needs to feel comfortable, confident and loved. Another dog in the home is essential. and we prefer to keep Chee Yoo with her buddy Pepe. If you are interested in adopting Chee Yoo, we recommend that you come and spend time with her on several occasions so that she becomes comfortable with you. Chee Yoo is UTD on vaccines, spayed and microchipped. Applications are being accepted and qualified applicants will be contacted.

Story
Meet HIROMI HIROMI was turned into the shelter as a found dog. No one ever came for her. Despite being failed by her former person, this sweetheart remains devoted and loving. After Hiromi’s arrival she was initially timid and lacked confidence. She can still be somewhat apprehensive but she has opened up and trusted us enough to let her true colors shine! She is silly, sensitive, refreshingly affectionate, playful and a free spirit. Her absolute favorite past time is to be showered with love and give it in return. Her gentle, resilient nature is inspiring but not surprising. Hiromi is very communicative by expressing a multitude of emotions with her eyes. Her body language is inviting and she understands how to use it to subtly let you know what’s on her mind. She is also an Akita so stubbornness is part of her DNA! Her ideal adopter should have a calm home environment and be able to provide consistency and a daily routine, where she can continue to expand her horizons. Hiromi gets excited for her daily walks and is a great traveler! She seems non-reactive to other dogs and might do well with a mellow male dog. She is approx 4 yrs old and weighs 57 lbs. She is also crate and house trained. She is ready to pledge her love and devotion! Are you?! 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.

Story
Meet Emi Emi’s sleek, brindle coat is a thing of beauty and so magnificent to behold. Engaging, charismatic, gregarious, and spirited are the first things you sense about her from the moment she enters a room. Emi exudes a brand of joy that makes her impossible to resist! Not until you witness her graceful elegance and see a bit of frost around her muzzle, do you realize she is a senior beauty with an abundance of life experiences to share. She’s 8 yrs old and has found herself homeless, but she’s seen enough in life to know there’s still a wonderous journey ahead. She is a lover of people and she’d much rather be enjoying a fun adventure with you by her side on interesting walks or trips to the beach, than be left at home alone. She needs to be an only dog and is not suitable with cats. She is approximately 60 lbs. and seems unaware she has some arthritis and hip dysplasia. But as you can see, she enjoys playing with her toys and doing tricks for treats. Her healthy curiosity keeps her engaged in life’s adventures, though she also loves her beauty naps. Please don’t let her age deter you from considering giving her a home. Her heart is overflowing with love. If you are interested in Emi, please complete our adoption application in the link below.

Story
Looking for a loving home for our 5 year-old dog who has high energy needs. He needs more time and training than we can dedicate due to having young children and other unexpected changes in our lives. He is sweet and loving and would love to live somewhere that he can hike, run and roam. He is tolerant of kids and very gentle but would probably prefer a home with older kids.

Story
Once she has time to settle in, this lovely husky enjoys gentle pets and quiet companionship. She’s a classic husky in all the best ways—vocal, curious, and happiest when she’s out on a walk taking in all the smells. She’s not much for toys, but treats are a favorite, and she plays wonderfully with other dogs. She’d do best with adopters who can give her time to adjust and provide daily mental and physical enrichment.Check out what one volunteer has to say about her: Karma was the best doggy day adventure buddy! She hopped right in the car with zero hesitation. She was the slightest bit vocal on our way out, but she just wanted to let me know how excited she was for the afternoon ahead. We drove to downtown Martinez where we walked around a bit then stopped to grab coffee. She instantly wagged when she saw another dog and was so happy to meet it, she even snubbed a treat so she could spend more time with her new pal. She also met a number of new human friends, each of which commented on her calm energy and sweet disposition. She really turned on the charm by giving them all unprompted paw shakes as well. She hopped right up on the bench to pose for a photo while we waited for our coffee order. After downtown we went to Mount Wanda and hiked for a while. She loved sniffing everything - from bushes to gopher holes, you name it she wanted to check it out. She was very easy on leash and only pulled when she saw a squirrel and a cat, but lost interest in them fairly quickly. Karma was really lovely to have for the afternoon. She seems pretty easy going and I think she would especially thrive with a family that would take her on outdoor adventures so she could sniff and explore.

Story
Snowball, 5.5 years old, neutered male, Australian Shepherd/Husky mix, 46 pounds. Snowball is BURIEN, WASHINGTON and available immediately for meet-and-greets. If you do not live within a reasonable driving distance, virtual chats can be arranged. "Free Dogs." That was the sign Snowball's owners held up outside a shopping center late at night. A kind family passing by took Snowball and his brother, Simba, in until they had to move and were unable to keep or care for them any longer. That's when we came in. We had him fully vetted and transported him from Texas to the PNW. Snowball may be an adult but this boy is always up for play time! He had a foster sister who has since been adopted. She was a boxer mix who had no "off" button and he was able to keep up with her. He's energetic while playing but when it's time for a nap, he's ready to curl up and sleep. He's not encountered any dogs while on leash but has an overall cheerful personality so we don't anticipate any issues once given the opportunity for proper introductions. He has also gone to boarding and had play groups with other dogs and did great. Snowball has not been around cats or kids. We recommend a home with kids 14 years and older. Snowball has impeccable house manners: he's fully potty, crate and leash trained, although he does pull a bit on lead. He enjoys going into his kennel, has no issues with separation anxiety or other destructive behaviors, and hasn't demonstrated any food aggression or resource guarding. Snowball is a bit greedy around food but has learned to share treats and toys well. He is a notorious plushy killer and likes making his own "snow." He is part husky, so he can be mischievous if given the opportunity - he likes practicing his escapes and leading you on unforced cardio jaunts! We have no idea his history, but do know movements above his head make him very scared. If you raise a household item or move your hand to fast, he cowers or barks. His foster mom has had him in her care since January and knows his personality very well. He takes a few times to meet new people and then does wonderful. He is needs a quieter home with people who accept him for who he is. He would love to be the center of attention without having to share affection but does see the benefit of having a romping buddy to chase about. ;) He loves snuggling and is quite affectionate. He can be a bit of a scaredy cat when meeting new people but is much better than when he first came into our care. His ideal home would be with someone patient, willing to help him continue coming out of his shell, and with a moderate amount of activity. ***Listed BREED and AGE - We are taking our best guess & recommendations from our veterinarian on age, breed and size when fully grown. We rarely know a dog's exact age nor are we able to tell the true or full breed mix of dogs as our information is limited most of the time. ***
