Story
Raja is a purebred American Akita. I adopted him at 2 months old. He will be 7 years old October 30th. He is housebroken, basic obedience trained and neutered. He is gastropexied and current on vaccines/Heartgaurd. He has been raised with my older grandchildren and is generally people friendly (for akitas). He has also been raised with 2 females. However, due to him being dominant I think it would be better if he is an only dog. He has also been raised with cats. He needs a 6 ft fenced yard.Raja would do well with someone who works from home or is retired. He loves to go for daily walks. He does have anxiety if left alone inside. He is goofy, playful and loving to his people. We are the only family he has ever been with. If I didn't absolutely need to rehome him, I wouldn't.My first priority is to him and finding him an experienced, loving home. Raja needs an experienced Akita owner/or similar breed. He has the typical akita personality (loyal, protective, independent and reserved).

Story
Hi, I`m Shakita! I am a very playful and energetic lady. I love to get my paws wet in the pool and enjoy the nice weather outside. I am quite the sweetheart when it comes to cuddles and pets. Since I am young, I may need some guidance when it comes to learning my manners; I still have big puppy energy! I do not do very well with cats, and I can be picky about what dogs I befriend, but I get along great with kids! I would be great in a home with people that like to be outside and adventure. You should come by and say hi!

Story
Adoption Fee: $475 When available, all animals are fixed in accordance with Colorado law, up to date on vaccines (may need boosters), and microchipped! What we know: Litter of 4 (4.5 months) and mom (2.5 years) surrendered by a family located in CO Springs. Family reached out for help with an accidental litter that they could not keep due to living in a townhome and not having the resources and space these dogs needed. Family is reported to all be purebred Akitas, though we cannot 100% confirm. From the foster: Meet Kiera, a beautiful 2.5-year-old Akita with a teddy-bear face and a heart full of love. After raising her puppies and watching them all find homes, this sweet momma is ready for a forever family of her own. Kiera is loving, well-mannered, and smart. She completed a 3-week training academy, is e-collar trained, and knows commands like heel, sit, down, bed, crate, spin, and wait. Her fosters say she is amazing on walks and a total dream on leash. At home, Kiera is calm, quiet, affectionate, and happy to relax with her people. She sleeps well in her kennel, rarely barks, gives the sweetest kisses, and has a silly side. She loves tossing toys to herself and making her own fun. She would do best as the only dog in the home and would be a great fit for a family with children 10 or older since she can knock little ones down since she is about 65 lbs. Kiera is the perfect mix of gentle, loyal, playful, and well-trained. She has so much love to give and is ready to be someone’s best friend. www.coloradopuppy.org/how-to-adopt

Story
Wolfie is a sociable, energetic boy who loves people and enjoys meeting other dogs, though he can be intimidating at first and may need a confident introduction before he settles in. He’s eager to play and he has a playful streak with water hoses that never fails to bring a smile. He weighs 89 pounds and is approximately 3-4 years old.??Wolfie is still learning the leash. He is learning to come when called and sits nicely when prompted. He is a homebody at heart, but he still needs plenty of exercise to burn off his occasional bursts of energy. He also enjoys walks with his humans.??Located in Houston, Texas. Transport to most states available for an additional fee of $300.
