Story
Simba has spent too long waiting for his forever family. 💔 This strong and spirited Akita-Husky mix is full of energy, loves his toys, and is happiest on long walks or playing with his human. He’s sweet, loyal, and ready for the right home. If you’re looking for a dog with personality and heart, Simba is waiting to meet you! 🐕 Adopt Simba: https://form.jotform.com/221926016430144 Full profile: Simba is a 6-8-year-old Akita-Husky mix with the personality of an Akita and the heart of a lion. He’s playful, sweet, and full of energy but needs a confident and strong adopter who understands his needs. 💪 Strength & Training: Simba is powerful and can pull when excited, so he needs someone physically capable of managing his strength. He’s learning commands like sit, down, paw, and “potty” and thrives with structure. A harness might help with his pulling. 🐾 Energy & Personality: Simba is not always a couch potato! He loves long walks (2+ miles is no problem), playing with his toys, and getting plenty of attention. He’s affectionate and cuddly but always ready for adventure. 🏡 Home Needs: Simba would do best in a home without small children due to his strength and energy. He’s good with other dogs, especially more timid ones, but does best with boundaries around toys and space. He’s also quite the counter-surfer, so keeping things out of reach is key! 🐕 Health: Simba has a thyroid condition that is managed with treatment, giving him renewed energy and playfulness. Simba has had a lot of love and care from his foster, but he’s ready to find his forever home. If you’re looking for a strong, loyal, and playful companion, Simba could be your perfect match. 💙 Ready to meet Simba? Apply to adopt him and give this big-hearted boy the home he deserves. 📌 Share to help Simba find his forever home Currently being cared in Southern California, but can be transported up to northern states, such as Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, and anywhere within the US continental, if a great suitable family is willing to adopt him.

Story
Name: Tank Sex: M Age: 1 year DOB: March 15th, 2024 Weight: 75 lb Breed: American Akita  Meet Tank: Your Devoted American Akita Cuddle Buddy! Tank is the ultimate mama’s boy—loyal, loving, and always putting his person’s heart first. Both him and his sister were welcomed at six weeks old into an Akita-loving home. Tank grew up with his sister and two other American Akitas on a three-acre playground, but by seven months of age it was clear he needed to be the only dog in the home. He began to fight with his sister (typical littermate syndrome), which made the older male Akita aggressive towards Tank. For his safety, he is now searching for his perfect match—someone who wants an affectionate, smart, and devoted companion.   Tank thrives on love and affection. He will be your shadow, always by your side, and always ready for snuggles. He’d love to sleep in bed with you but is also crate-trained and respectful of your space. While he loves a good toy and outside time, he prefers staying indoors and watching a movie with you. Smart and playful, he walks well on a leash, will sit for a treat, and will patiently wait for you to return home.   Tank will steal your heart, but he will also be very protective of his own at first. Tank is not acustomed to anyone other than his owners and isn't welcoming of strangers. He will need someone to be patient with him while he adjusts, but the patience will be worth the love he gives. If you’re looking for a best friend who will adore you unconditionally, Tank is ready to be yours. Likes: His favorite snack is red apple slices, he likes walks and he loves sleeping in bed with his owners.  Dislikes: Strangers/Amazon and Grocery Deliver Kids? Teens are welcome- he's never been around small children. ##2346534##

Story
Hello! My name is Pepper, I have recently made the journey from Los Angeles to Colorado. While I am new to Colorado I am adjusting quickly and feel at home with all the snow and opportunities to explore. I love to go for walks and runs! I do a great job walking on a leash and I have become a great running buddy for my foster dad.   As a husky, I LOVE to play and have a lot of energy so would do best in a home that could give me lots of exercise. I would love a yard or place where I can play. I am a very smart boy and already know basic commands like sit and come, with training, I will be able to learn even more tricks. I am getting used to the fact that my humans need to "work" and it can not always be playtime but I like to take a nap by their desk or entertain myself with my toys. I have lots of love to give and give my human friends hugs and kisses , I just ask for plenty of scratches in return. I am very curious and like to make new dog friends.  ##2291727##

Story
Hey there, I’m Zuber – but you can call me Zuber Duber if you want to add a little flair! I’m a happy-go-lucky guy who came all the way from sunny LA to lend a paw and make room for some pups displaced by those tough fires. Now that I’m here, I’m all about living my best life! I’m a total sweetheart who gets along with everyone – people, dogs, you name it! I’m having a blast hanging out with my foster family's dog and also loving my time as the solo pup. I’ve been busy learning a lot of cool stuff, like sit, stay, come, leave it – I’m basically a pro! I even mastered potty training, crate training, and loose leash walks (take that, leash!). I’m getting more and more confident every day and love being part of a calm, happy home. My foster folks tell me I’m doing so well – no pacing, just lounging and loving life. I'm also totally the cuddling type! I’ll happily snuggle up next to you for some quality bonding time (I’m basically a pillow with paws). I’m a super active guy with a ton of energy, so if you’re into running, hiking, or just going on epic adventures, I’m your guy! I might have more stamina than my foster parent when we run, so I’d be great for anyone who needs a buddy to keep up. I’m not into jumping, barking, or chewing up stuff (I like to keep it classy), but I do love playing treasure hunt. Find a fun stick, toy, or anything and I’m on it! I’d be so happy in a family that loves hanging out, playing, and getting me out for regular exercise – and don’t worry, I’ll keep you company every step of the way. If you think you’re ready for a loving, energetic, and fun companion who’s also working hard to overcome some fears, let’s go on an adventure together! I can’t wait to meet you! ##2290907##
