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
What kind of person drops off their beloved family member at a boarding facility, says they’ll be back in two days and is never seen or heard from again? After multiple attempts, the staff finally reached the owners. Their response was they were not coming back for him. Imagine you are Ponyo, waiting day after day, and one day becomes two, then two days becomes a week and then a month. At what point do dogs give up hope? Akitas are known for their fierce loyalty and devotion. Sadly, in this instance his loyalty was rewarded with betrayal. Thankfully, Ponyo is resilient and his joy of freedom overshadowed his despair. He’s 4yrs old and is a happy, fun-loving boy. He is best as an only dog and requires an experienced Akita owner. Ponyo is settling in and is getting plenty of attention, interaction and enrichment.

Story
Meet TOBI We don't know much about Tobi's past, but his future is very bright. He is a big boy with a heart the size to match. He is a gentle giant with a gregarious, carefree attitude and is eager to learn and experience the world. He is game for adventure and deserves to have that special someone to accompany him in life. Tobi is playful and has a welcoming aura about him. He also has an unabashed, confident side to him. He's just not sure how he ended up here, and we're making sure he never has to wonder that ever again. He is best as an only dog and someone with previous Akita experience is best. Tobi is approximately 5 yrs old, and due to his size should be on a good quality joint supplement. He's only been with us a short time, so will need to gain a few pounds to look his best, but he's already on his way to showing us his beautiful soul.

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
Eva was initially a stray and since adoption has shown significant separation anxiety. She is incredibly sweet and loving but the separation anxiety has been a challenge for our family. She will pace for hours and has on occasion scratched at the door or window while we have left her home. We’ve also tried to leave her in the backyard for short periods of times (i.e. school drop off) and she has jumped our nearly 6 foot fence. She has always been good with other dogs. She loves belly rubs, going to the dog park and playing tug. She also loves walking and is a good running buddy, but she’s also very strong and is difficult to handle because she pulls a lot. For the right family she would be an amazing dog, but unfortunately that doesn’t seem to be our family despite many efforts. Perhaps a family with more experience with a dog would be a good start - she is our first and we are out of our depth and really want her to thrive.

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!

Story
*** Hi there! I'm happy-go-lucky Jasper! *** I'm a handsome Siberian Husky/Shepherd mix who is estimated to be around 3 years old and weighs 48 lbs. Jasper is the perfect name for me because, like the gem I'm named for, I'm known for my "glittering personality, "colorful coat, and trademark "precious smile! I'm excited to show my new family I am all this and more! My volunteer buddies will tell you that I am also outgoing, happy, and as sweet as the pupsicles I get to enjoy during enrichment! The best part of my day is when a volunteer buddy comes up to my kennel to take me out for a walk and playtime. I walk well on my leash, with an occasional stop to sniff and to read and send pee-mails to my shelter pals. In the yard I enjoy running along the yard fence with certain other doggos. My volunteer friends always tell me I'm a smart boy! I love to show off my skills on our agility equipment in the yard (you should see me on the ramp!), I sit very easily, and come back when called. I especially love learning new tricks, and of course getting a treat! That treat could be something yummy, cuddles and pets, or a good ol' squeaky toy! I love squeaky toys so much I've been known to try to hide them outside when I'm in the yard. I'm also quite the socialite and you'll find me greeting every hooman who comes my way with happy tail wags and a smile that will melt your heart. Sometimes during the zoomies I get in the yard, I'll check on my volunteer pal and lean in for some cuddles. My volunteer buddies say they rarely see me without a smile on my face. The only time I may not have a smile is when I see cats. I'm very curious about them and it would be best if there weren't any in my new home. Although I can be quite exuberant in my kennel, it's because I really don't like being in there - I'd much rather be visiting with you! If you take me home, I will follow your lead and I'm eager to make my new furever family happy! If you're looking for a lovable boy who will make a great companion and be right by your side for adventures outdoors or sweet calming cuddles indoors, I'm your guy! Let's spend some time together and see if we are pawsibly a good match! ** Jasper is looking for a home without cats. ** ## See video of Jasper at the end of the photo gallery ## TVAR.org/find-your-pet-adopt/dogs-puppies/ Jasper's Shelter ID# is 80920. He's an adult, male, black and brown, Siberian Husky mix. He currently weighs 48 lbs. He has already been vaccinated, neutered and microchipped and is ready to go to his new home! Jasper is located in kennel B-3. ** Age shown is an estimate only ** THIS IS A COURTESY POSTING If you are interested, please call the East County Animal Shelter at 925-803-7040 to see if this dog is still available.

Story
*** Hello! I'm Bandit and I'll steal your heart! *** I'm a Siberian Husky mix who is about 6 years old and weighs 52 lbs. It's very likely that I was named Bandit because I will capture your heart with my cuddles, handsome face, soft black and white fur, gentleness, playfulness, and sunny disposition. I'm a shelter volunteer favorite, and any of my volunteer buddies will tell you how special I truly am. The best part of my day is when a volunteer pal comes up to my kennel to take me out to grab some rays. I am happiest when I'm being loved on and once you start giving me a head massage, I'll lay down for some belly rubs! I love training with treats, especially those jerky ones, and I take them very gently. I enjoy showing off the commands I know and I'm eager to learn more. Ask me to "sit, "come back, "drop, and go "down and I'll steal the spotlight, I pawmise! Even though I'm happy to just hang out and be by your side (I've been known to nab plenty of kisses), I have a playful side and will play fetch, get the zoomies in the yard, and I love a good squeaky toy! While I'm in the yard, I've also been caught red-pawed running along the fence with many of the other shelter doggos. If you already have a dog, while I think I'd make a Pawsome brother, it's important that we meet so that my staff friends can do a proper introduction to see if we might be compatible together. Since I'm already vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped I can go home with you today! So, if you're looking for a companion to love you unconditionally, share your walks, cuddle with, and greet you with a warm welcome every time I see you, please come meet me. But don't be surprised if I steal your heart! ## See video of Bandit at the end of the photo gallery! ## TVAR.org/find-your-pet-adopt/dogs-puppies/ Bandit's Shelter ID# is 80804. He's an approximately 6-year-old, male, black and white, Siberian Husky mix. He currently weighs 52 lbs. He has already been vaccinated, neutered and microchipped and is ready to go to his new home! Bandit is located in kennel E-1. ** Age shown is an estimate only ** THIS IS A COURTESY POSTING If you are interested, please call the East County Animal Shelter at 925-803-7040 to see if this dog is still available.
