Story
Nico is a 2.5-year-old neutered male Akita on Long Island, NY. He is a loyal, devoted dog who bonds deeply with his person and thrives with an experienced owner familiar with Akitas or similar guardian breeds. He is calm and well-mannered in the house, fully housebroken, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. Nico enjoys daily structure, 45-minute walks, backyard play, and quiet time at home. He eats Arcana food twice daily and knows commands such as sit, stay, wait, down, paw, up, and settle. He has completed puppy classes and private training. Nico must be the only pet and should live in an adult-only home. He is naturally protective and does best with clear boundaries, consistency, and calm introductions. In the right home, Nico will be an incredibly loyal companion and steady presence. This rehoming is being done responsibly due to major life changes, with his long-term well-being as the top priority. He is a special dog who will be deeply devoted to the right person.

Story
Meet Panda! Panda is 8 years old and his favorite pet friend is a miniature schnauzer who tends to bully him! Panda loves playing fetch, loves walks on known paths. Panda is very sensitive to loud noises especially to thunder/fireworks. Panda is house trained. Panda has been with family with 2 kids now ages 11 and 13. We had him since he was a puppy. We have relocated and have been trying to accustom Panda to new smaller house, smaller yard and much noisier than he was used to location. Panda had a lot of anxiety with the noise and as a result my landlord has given me a deadline to relocate him. He is ideal for an older experienced handler in a secluded area with a big yard. To help with transition we are open to letting miniature schnauzer go with him she is 9 years old and extremely smart dog, she walks without a leash, follows commands, house trained, understands routine and help keeps Panda in line when needed. He is accustomed to being more outside, except in the summer.

Story
✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to JFK/EWR💟 The prices listed are based on USD, and the adoption fee will be calculated in CAD according to the exchange rate. Meet Hodol❤️ 💙 Adogs Center Updates: @_adogs_ 1⃣ Health Condition * Neuter: Incomplete. * Others: Microchipped. 2⃣ Rescue Story * Hodol was living at the Gimje City Shelter. He was waiting at the shelter with a smile on his face despite the weather getting colder, but no one stepped up to adopt him. The shelter had poor conditions, with infectious diseases spreading and poor heating, so Adogs urgently rescued him. 3⃣ Basic Information ❗️As a puppy, he may need training in areas such as separation anxiety, potty habits, biting, nipping, whining, disorderly behaviors, howling and barking. ❗️It is difficult to predict his shedding and growth size because his parents are unknown. * With People: Is a little shy but is docile and stays in your arms when picked up. Once he becomes familiar with someone, he wags his tail like a helicopter and runs around happily just seeing them come near. * With Dogs: Plays well with the other dogs at our center. * With Cats: Hasn’t met cats yet. * Separation Anxiety: Unknown, since he’s living in a group setting at our center. Will need training from scratch. * Potty Training: Does fairly well with potty pads. May need to be re-trained in a new environment. * Grooming: Although he doesn’t like it, he’s docile while getting his nails trimmed with his belly-side up. * Walks: Hasn’t been on walks since his vaccinations aren’t complete. * Car Sickness: Didn’t show signs of car sickness on short-distance rides. * Biting: Has not bitten. However, he may nibble or chew since he’s still a teething puppy. * Barking: Sometimes whines a bit if he seems someone outside his kennel. * Likes: Has a great appetite and loves food. * Dislikes: Although he is docile when picked up, he seems a bit uncomfortable with it since he yawns (a sign that a dog isn’t comfortable).

Story
Meet Hachiko!Hachiko came to the shelter as a stray after being found wandering, and his past remains a bit of a mystery. From the start, he has shown himself to be calm, composed, and quietly social. He tends to observe his surroundings first, then approaches people on his own terms, accepting pets and attention with a neutral, steady demeanor. Hachiko has a thoughtful presence and prefers respectful interactions rather than constant handling.My Ideal HomeHachiko would do best in a calm, experienced home that understands independent, sensitive dogs. He thrives with adopters who can move at his pace, respect his boundaries, and allow him to initiate interactions. A quiet environment, predictable routine, and positive, low-pressure training will help him feel secure. Mental enrichment and daily walks are important to keep him balanced and engaged.Good with Kids?No young children. Hachiko prefers calm, predictable interactions and would be most comfortable in an adult-only home or one with older, dog-savvy teens who can respect his space.Good with Other Pets?Hachiko's history with other animals is unknown. In shelter observations, he has shown interest in other dogs and can become overstimulated, particularly during introductions. Careful management and slow, structured introductions would be essential in any multi-dog home. His history with cats is unknown.Leash MannersHachiko walks politely on leash with little to no pulling. He may move slowly at times and prefers calm, low-pressure walks where he can observe and sniff without being rushed.Overall HealthRecovering from CIRDC.Behavior DeterminationLevel 2 - Hachiko is generally easy to handle but can be fearful or anxious in new situations. He benefits from slow introductions, choice-based interactions, and a low-stress environment to build confidence.Other Fun FactsHachiko enjoys leaning in for gentle pets, taking treats politely, and quietly spending time near his people. He's not overly toy-driven and prefers calm companionship. Once he feels comfortable, his steady, loyal nature really shines through Primary Color: Brown Secondary Color: White Weight: 86.125 Age: 4yrs 1mths 2wks
