Story
Hello! This is Appa he is a sweet 4.5 year old American Akita. His birthday is May 11, 2021. I originally got him from a breeder in Dallas,TX when he was 8 weeks old. He is such a loving dog and is the friendliest Akita ever when it comes to meeting new people. I no longer have a cat, but he grew up around a one and never had any issues with him. He is a pretty independent dog which is normal for the breed, but he is a super sweet boy that loves getting pets. He gets along well with most female dogs. I would highly advise against having him live with another male dog due to the natural same sex aggression that is seen in this breed. He is well behaved and knows all of his obedience commands, although in typical Akita fashion he may pick and choose how quickly he listens. He's honestly an amazing dog, but due to life changes and circumstances it would be best for him to be rehomed. He is up to date on all of his shots, and currently takes simparico trio.

Dakota is a handsome name, kind of a "rugged" kind of name, right?? I am kind of a REFINED RUGGED kind of boy! For instance, I am a busy boy, 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 $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)

At 5.5 years old, he recently road-tripped all the way from Mexico with a partner shelter, along with several other dogs who are also adoptable and now in our care.

Why Vladimir is special: Loyal, affectionate, and intelligent Confident and adventurous, yet enjoys calm companionship Thriving in a multi-dog environment, adaptable to other dogs Good to know: 🏷️ If an attribute tag isn’t listed, it doesn’t mean he doesn’t have that trait—it just means we haven’t seen or confirmed it yet.

Story
Meet Rosie 🌹 Rosie is a gentle soul who takes her time getting to know new people—but once she feels safe, her sweet and loyal nature really begins to shine. She’s most comfortable when given space to settle in at her own pace, and she feels more at ease with people she’s had the chance to build trust with. Rosie may need a few visits to truly warm up, but for the right person or family, she’s well worth the wait. She’s not particularly interested in toys or treats—but if you’ve got hotdogs, you might just be her new best friend! Rosie prefers calm, quiet environments and would do best in an adult-only home where she can feel safe and understood. She walks nicely on leash, though she’s happiest spending time in a secure yard where she can explore and relax on her own terms. Rosie is looking for a patient and loving home that will give her the time she needs to feel comfortable—and in return, she’ll give her heart. She would thrive in an adult only home. If you are interested in meeting Rosie, make sure to fill out an application at animalcareleague.org!

Story
Meet Benjy! Benjy is a sweet, young husky with a whole lot of personality packed into one fluffy body. He’s energetic, fun, and incredibly loving—the kind of dog who makes every day feel a little brighter just by being around. He’s always ready to move, explore, and be part of whatever you’re doing. He’s done well on pack walks with another dog and would likely enjoy having a dog friend who can keep up with his energy and play style. Benjy enjoys being social, but he also really loves connecting with his people and being included. Benjy is looking for a home that understands his energy and enrichment needs, including daily exercise, mental stimulation, and quality time are important to him. In return, you’ll get a loyal, affectionate companion with a big heart and an even bigger personality. If you’re looking for an active, loving dog who will keep you laughing and moving, Benjy might be your perfect match. Please fill out an adoption questionnaire at animalcareleague.org if you would like to meet this handsome man!

Smart, affectionate, and loyal, Falco is truly the epitome of a good boy. He takes some time to meet new people, but once he is your buddy, he'll never go back! This sweet boy comes preloaded with a bunch of tricks to show off, including: sit, down, heel, center, paw, other paw, spin, turn, and many more! If you are a husky lover, and preferably experienced with dogs or open to committing to training, there is no better dog for you than Falco!
