Story
Prepare to be enchanted by April🌺, a stunning 2-year-old Japanese Akita inu beauty, weighing around 60-65lbs, with a striking silver black brindle with white coat, a lush curly tail, and captivating blue eyes that will melt your heart💓! This gorgeous girl is not only a vision of loveliness but also a sweet, affectionate, and loving companion who craves attention and adoration, spreading joy and love wherever she goes. What's truly remarkable about April is that she's potty trained, exhibits impeccable manners, and remains calm, serene, and composed, greeting you with a wagging tail and a gentle demeanor🥰. As a quiet and peaceful girl, she'd flourish in any loving family or be the perfect best friend for someone seeking a loyal companion for life's adventures. April walks beautifully on a leash but does get startled when fast and loud vehicles passing by. While she adores people, she never shows any separation anxiety if being alone. April is also great with other dogs with proper introduction, so she’s ready to join a pack or to be the perfect solo girl in the household. This enchanting girl is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped, and is eagerly waiting to meet her forever home🏡 . Don't miss this opportunity to welcome April into your life - she's sure to captivate your heart 💗! Currently being cared for in SoCal, April can be transported to northern states such as Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, or other locations within the continental United States, where a loving family awaits to welcome her.

Story
Lady Eboshi is a 6-year-old American Akita with a huge personality and a lot of love to give. My family jokingly calls her “Porkerican” because of her piggy belly and the little grunting noises she makes. She has grown up around babies, children, teenagers, adults, and elderly family members, and is very familiar with family life.She is loyal, affectionate, protective, and has the strong personality typical of the Akita breed. Due to littermate syndrome and past experiences, she does not do well with other dogs besides her mother, so she would do best as the only dog in the home. She is not spayed.Her ideal home would be with someone experienced with large or guardian breeds, preferably Akitas, and someone with an active lifestyle or a large fenced yard.Rehoming her is an extremely difficult decision, but due to long-term family, housing, financial, and scheduling instability, I want to find her the stable forever home she deserves.

Story
Bailey is a beautiful four-year-old Akita who came to us as a puppy and has been a loyal companion in our home. Bailey enjoys observing the world around her and often watching people curiously from a distance. However, due to her temperament and comfort level, we believe she would do best in an adult-only home where her boundaries are well understood and respected.She has formed a strong bond with her primary caregivers and responds best to clear leadership and consistency. Because of her protective instincts and challenges with accepting additional family members as authority figures, Bailey has bitten our daughters. With this in mind, she will require an experienced, adult-only home prepared to provide structure, training, and careful management.Our decision to seek a new home for Bailey comes from a place of care and responsibility, with the goal of finding an environment where she can feel secure, understood, and able to thrive. She needs a home or we will need to put her down. :(

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.

Akita

Female, 5 yrs 9 mos
North Haven, CT
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs special attention,
Story
Saki came to HHR by way of our rescue friends in GA. Saki was scheduled for euthanasia for being a special needs dog. She is at least partially hearing impaired and has a condition called cerebellar hypoplasia (CH). CH is a permanent condition caused by exposure to distemper while in utero. The exposure causes underdevelopment of the cerebellum in the brain- the part responsible for fine motor skills. CH does not affect Saki’s health, but it is the reason her head bobbles and she walks a little differently than other dogs. We think it only adds to her personality. She is a silly, playful, energetic girl that loves to run and play. She gets along with other dogs in her foster home but can also be a bit rude in the beginning because her condition leaves her less able to read cues from other dogs. Saki would be best suited for a home with adults or older kids (teens and up). Saki is about two and a half years old and weighs 58 lbs. She is spayed; vaccinated for rabies, distemper, and bordetella; microchipped; and recently treated for heartworm by our veterinarian. Saki is current on flea, tick, and heartworm prevention. Interested in meeting Saki? Please complete an application By visiting our website www.HalfwayHomeRescue.org. Adoption donation $500
