Story
Ruger is an incredibly handsome 4 year old purebred American Akita. He is friendly to new people, affectionate with those he knows, and likes to play tug-o-war! When it's time to sleep, Ruger carries his "baby" (stuffed animal) around and then snuggles up with it.  Before coming into rescue, Ruger lived in a home with kids, and another dog. We think he would be happiest being an only dog, and in a home with  Like most Akitas, Ruger will do best in a home without other dogs, or children under the age of 18.

Story
MAIKO needs a Miracle - - - LOVELAND, COLORADO   Maiko has lived his entire life with his family, and after facing a life-changing situation, they have no other option but to rehome him. He has been loved - intensely - since he was a pup, and is well socialized, but like many Akitas, he would do best as an only dog in the home and in a home with kids older than 10.   He is going to turn 8 in March, is neutered, up to date with all his vaccinations, and is microchipped. He has no known health issues and has never been involved in a bite incident with a human or other dog.   His family is devastated and has asked for our help in rehoming him, and avoid him having to be moved to Southern California. Please share this post. He is located in Loveland, Colorado (Just North of Denver). May 21, 2023, 12:12 am

The REALLY AWESOME DOGS don't stay long in rescue, and Sonny will be one of them. If you are ready to adopt and need a little more HAPPY in your life then come meet Sonny! This young (about a year old) and gorgeous guy is happy, playful, and incredibly smart. He loves to play tug-o-war, catch a ball, splash in water if he is lucky enough to have access to a small plastic kid's pool! It's not HIS fault his Human could not keep him, and like all dogs that live in the moment, he just wants to LOVE. He is dog-friendly (with other playful and respectful dogs) and would do great with an active family with kids. Sonny is in a foster home in Southern California (Santa Clarita Valley) and is Ready to Meet YOU now! Sonny is happy, healthy, neutered, has all current vaccinations, and is microchipped. He has his very own duffel bag which contains his brand new collar, leash, bed, bowl, and bag of high quality dog food.

Story
United Hope for Animals (UHA) is a volunteer group and does not have a facility for animals.  This pet is part of our Shelter Support Program at the Baldwin Park Shelter. For more information about the pet, the adoption process, or our program please contact the Volunteer Adoption Coordinator listed below. Because animals are adopted/rescued daily, please also check the United Hope for Animals Facebook page to see if an animal is still available OR call the Baldwin Park Shelter at 626-962-3577. When inquiring about an animal, please reference the animal’s ID number. This will enable the volunteer or Baldwin Park employee to locate the status of the pet. Thank you for supporting rescue. Pet Information A5464537 Wilber is a cooperative 1 year old Cream and Tan neutered male Akita and German Shepherd mix puppy who came to the Baldwin Park Animal Care Center on September 6, 2022 as an owner surrender because he escaped from their yard. Weighing 46 lbs, Wilber shows signs of housebreaking and loves attention. He will need a secure yard with a 6 foot fence, as well as daily exercise and attention to keep him happy staying home. Smart Wilber also would enjoy mental stimulation from training and toys to keep him from getting bored. After a little exercise in the play yard, Wilber was very happy to sit next to his handler and soak up some attention and petting. He’s very petite for an Akita so we think there are other smaller dogs in his family tree. Calm large dogs are ok according to the shelter, and they recommend that any kids in the home are middle school age or older who will be able to play and exercise with him.    WILBER’S VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9PK6W9YHd0 For more information on this pet, contact volunteer UHA Adoption Coordinator Lisa Arnold at (626) 429-6691 or email buckleysmommy@icloud.com for info.  May 22, 2023, 12:58 pm
