Story
If you like them BIG and floppy, Simba fits that detail. This dude was a loved family member but they had to relocate and left him with another friend. Unfortunately, they could not see him any longer due to no fault of his own and he needed a complete restart. This is a 3 year old baby who has never met a stranger. He is good with all humans and loves all the humans of all sizes. Due to his massive size, he would do best with kids over ten and is fine with cats. He is still learning dogs are great after never having socialized with them, but he is taking life in strides. Come meet this hunk today!

Story
It is so unfortunate that we have to relocate out of state and are unable to take him with us. Teddy lives with us in the house, although when it’s between 10-65 degrees prefers to stay outside. Adores company and evening walks. Playful, never bitten anyone but insists on personal space. Won’t bark unless he means it. A typical Akita. Very intelligent, never treated with aggression, never involved in dog fights although other dogs may feel intimidated by him when walking by and he could care less about them. Looking for a caring home for him, an experienced handler who would enjoy his company. Akitas are loyal to his owner and it will be a hard farewell but I’m sure he senses our distress about this whole situation. I would prefer to meet with future owners and spend some time to accommodate both parties. Rehoming fee is not a priority, obviously. A good, loving home and experienced with big dogs is. Thank you.

Story
Keyoko is the sweetest girl you will ever meet. She had been living a good life until her owner died and she - and her buddy Zeus - suddenly found themselves at the shelter with nowhere to go. One of our wonderful fosters has agreed to take both of them in until we can find their new forever homes. In addition, a kind supporter has sponsored part of her adoption fee to help her get settled soon. At 8yrs old, Keyoko is still playful and loves to cuddle with her people. She is looking for a safe and loving home. If you think that could be yours, click on the big black button marked "Ask About Me" and we will send you an application. This dog is being fostered in TN but included in your adoption fee is transport to a location near you by Rescue Riders Pet Transport, the most animal-friendly transport on the road.

Story
A little shy, a little silly, and 100% ready to find her team—meet Wendy. Wendy is a six-month-old Husky with a story that starts a little uncertain—but is already turning into something really special. She was found as part of a group of 24 dogs living in an abandoned shop in Houston before making her way to one of our trusted rescue partners in Texas on March 14. Just one month later, she made the trip up to us—officially starting her next chapter. Transport day was a big one for Wendy. New place, new people, new everything—and she wasn’t quite sure what to think. She started off pretty skittish and unsure, sticking close and taking it all in from a distance. But here’s the thing about Wendy—she wants to be brave. With a little time outside, some patience, and a few kind humans, you could actually see her confidence start to build. And by the end of the day? She had claimed the water bowl as her own personal pool and was fully living her best life. That’s Wendy in a nutshell: a little cautious at first, but once she realizes she’s safe, her personality starts to shine—and it’s a fun one. She’s going to thrive in a home that understands she may need a little time to settle in, but is ready to celebrate every win along the way. Watching her confidence grow is the kind of thing that makes all of this worth it. Wendy’s story started in an abandoned building—but it’s not ending there. She’s ready for her forever team. Breed & Size Disclaimer: While Wendy appears to be a Husky, breed and adult size are our best guess based on physical traits and observation. These details are not guaranteed, and we always welcome friendly input if you think we may have missed the mark.
