Story
Dagger is a young pure bred Akita. He is a large dog who will require someone who knows the breed. He is looking for his leader and best friend. This guy loves attention. He knows he is handsome and doesn't mind hearing you say that often. Akitas are loyal dogs to their people, not necessarily to other pets. They are hunters, after all. If you are experienced and are looking for a wonderful dog, please apply. He came from another rescue and before that someone rehomed him to someone else. Blah. Blah. Blah. Hear it all the time. Dagger is intelligent and wants to learn.FOCCAS is a foster based, non-profit rescue in Crossville, TN. The adoption fee Includes Age-Appropriate Vaccinations (DA2PPV, Bordetella, Rabies), Deworming, Spay/Neuter, Microchip, Flea/Tick/Heartworm Prevention, and Sheltering. Adult Dogs are Heartworm Tested and Treated as Needed. FOCCAS does not DNA test or guarantee breed. Dagger's adoption fee is $500. Due to his size, he must be adopted in Crossville, TN.Thank You for Your Interest in Adopting a Canine Companion from Foccas-tn.org!To Apply Please Copy and Paste to your browser:https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=hb2428&method=online_form_html&formid=41

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.

Story
Dakota is a handsome name, kind of a "rugged" kind of name, right?? I am kind of a REFINED RUGGED kind of boy! NOT!! I am a snuggle bug looking for tummy scratches....I willl MELT for one!! Here is what one of our amazing fosters have to say about Dakota...."Super freaking sweet, loves loves belly rubs, is very strong when you walk him but listens well. VERY treat motivated and knows sit down paw and i just taught him roll over yesterday but its a work in progress 😝. Super playful, he will pounce around you and then roll over for belly rubs and absolutely melts for the belly rubs and kisses" I love playing and running with my doggy friends, however, I can lay at your feet very sweetly to beg for your attention. I am kind of like a "reverse" planter as well. I mean, you plant it and i will un-plant it for you :D I won't do it often, just when I want your attention and I am outside alone. So see?? you have great control over that urge! So I am a food and toy lover too, I eat out of a slow feeder bowl because wolfing down my food is not an option! I am learning all things toys and am actually learning how to bring the ball BACK after you throw it. I am a smart and very sweet boy. I do absolutely have a prey drive so no kitties for small furry mammals around me please. I am fully potty trained and great in a crate. Now i just need you to adopt me to complete my circle of life. Now, before you go all "Lion King" on me, just know that I will be your bestest buddy forever!! I am two VERY loyal breeds and once I know you are my family, you will have my unending love :) Local adoption fee is $300(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)
