Story

I have a 1 yr old Akita/Terrier mix. I need to rehome do to medical issues I am having. Im just not strong enough to walk him and it's getting to be too much for me. It's not fair to him. His name is Tucker. He is upd on shots except do for a booster anytime now. I am asking a rehoming fee and will be more if wanting his large crate. He is crate trained. He does not like cats and unsure of other dogs exactly. He's had a little interaction with a puppy and was quite playful but he is much bigger. So something to definitely watch. Please msg if interested and rehoming fee. P.S. He loves to play fetch with throwing or even kicking a ball.

Story

Hello everyone, We are making the incredibly difficult decision to rehome our beautiful Akita, Khaleesi. We are a military family being relocated to Spain. Unfortunately, Khaleesi currently requires CCL surgery. Between the recovery time she’ll need and the strict international quarantine requirements, making this move would be incredibly stressful and unfair to her. We want to do what is best for her and find her a loving home where she can heal comfortably. About Khaleesi: Temperament: She is an absolutely wonderful, gentle dog. Kid-Friendly: She lives with our one- and two-year-old toddlers and is fantastic with them. Dog-Friendly: She gets along beautifully with other dogs, both big and small. Health: She is fully up to date on all her shots through Banfield Pet Hospital. I have all her medical paperwork on hand for proof and transparency regarding her leg. If you or someone you know might be the right fit, or if you have any questions at all, please reach out!

Story

Meet Inari, a 5-year-old Akita mix weighing 86 pounds of fluffy, lovable goodness. This sweet girl is the definition of a gentle giant, with a heart every bit as big as her impressive floof. Inari is friendly with everyone she meets and is happiest when she's surrounded by people who are willing to shower her with attention. If you're looking for a dog who will happily soak up every pet, ear scratch, and belly rub you have to offer, Inari is ready to clock in for the job. While Inari could benefit from shedding a few pounds, she’s embracing her journey one tail wag at a time. With a loving family, regular activity, and plenty of encouragement, she'll be well on her way to feeling her best. If your idea of the perfect companion is a sweet, fluffy best friend who believes there's no such thing as too much affection, Inari may be the missing piece you've been looking for. Her minimum adoption fee is $200 plus a $15 fee, if 4 months or older, for rabies registration for McLean County residents. She has been spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives.
