Story
Jabulani, lovingly nicknamed Jabu for short, is a sweet girl looking to affectionately nuzzle her way into your heart! This precious girl absolutely adores being in the company of her human companions. She greets everyone she meets with a curly tailed tail wag and lots of slobbery kisses. She also makes sure to show off her agile spins and funny vocalizations to wow her new friends. She is an energetic and active pup that would love to go for long walks, spend some time playing fetch in the yard, training using positive reinforcement methods, and enjoying a nice food puzzle. Jabu is also a gold medalist at tug-of-war and an expert in squeeky toys. You can see Jabu in action in this youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/j9ZpmzAYeRg Petite and beautiful at 62 pounds and 11 years, Jabu prefers to be the apple of her person's eye, for this reason she would be perfectly happy as a solo dog. This elegant and refined young lady would prefer a home without tiny little hands as she enjoys her space after meals and that can be hard for kiddos to understand. Jabu really loves her people and can be heard whining and complaining when left at home alone. With some support from our behavior team you should be able to work through her very mild separation anxiety.Overall, Jabu is a smart and bouncy girl, spinning around when she gets excited and even loves exploring the beach and dipping her paws in the ocean with her humans. This sweet girl joined us after her guardian sadly passed away unexpectedly. Are you interested in learning more about Jabulani?

Story
Kuma is a male Akita Mix that is about one to two years old. He still squats to pee! He is such a sweet boy with a happy-go-lucky temperament and medium energy. He has shown to do well with other dogs big and small. He is playful when they want to play and takes social cues well. He is very well-mannered. Kuma loves to do tricks for treats, go for walks, and get all the pets and attention he can.  Our shelter is overflowing and we are having to double/triple up on kennels. Kuma is in desperate need to find his positive outcome.   Please let us know if you can help this sweet boy! For more information about Kuma or to meet him, please contact: City of Newman Animal Services 209-862-2902 209-862-4151 Fax banthieny@cityofnewman.com (This listing is to help assist direct placements of rescues that are currently with other rescue groups, shelters or their current owners.

Story
We don't know much about Tobi's past, but his future is 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
On Friday 9/19/25, I found an Akita Mix roaming around my neighborhood in Benicia, California.  He was found at George Court and Cheryl Drive.  He had no tags and no chip. I posted him on all of the local social sites and took him to the county shelter in Fairfield on Friday afternoon.  As of yesterday he was still there. His stray hold is up tomorrow. I am reaching out to in hope that someone can potentially pull him out of the shelter environment. His identification at the shelter is A305236.  If you know where this Akita's home is or are able to provide a new home for him, please send email to info@tikihutakitarescue.com or contact the shelter.

Story
Meet Panda, a 6-year-old, 58-pound Akita Mix, instantly recognizable by her beautiful white coat and striking panda-like mask. With her soft eyes and serene presence, Panda brings a calm, steady energy. • Polite and easygoing: Panda walks well on leash, only pulling moderately when something especially interesting catches her attention. • Well-mannered: She may jump a little and wiggle when excited, but sits automatically for treats or when being leashed and responds beautifully to “sit” and sometimes “down.” • Affiliative and gentle: This sweet girl enjoys neck scritches and soft pets, sitting calmly with a loose, relaxed posture and soft gaze. • Responsive and engaging: She’ll come over to sniff and check in with her person, always ready for quiet connection and gentle praise. • Calm and balanced: Panda’s mellow, affiliative nature makes her a joy to be around and easy to handle. Whether she’s exploring on leash or leaning in for affection, Panda exudes warmth and quiet confidence. She would thrive in a home with well-matched canine companions or as the cherished solo dog, enjoying the company of friendly dog pals on her own terms.
