Plainfield, IL

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
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
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
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 $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Meet Frosty, a striking black-and-white Husky with unforgettable icy blue eyes and an equally beautiful personality. Born around December 15, 2024, Frosty is still very much a puppy and already showing all the classic Husky charm—curious, energetic, and full of life. He’s the kind of dog who greets the world with enthusiasm and would thrive in a home that enjoys staying active and engaged. Whether it’s long walks, playtime in the yard, or learning new things, Frosty is ready to be your adventure partner. Despite his high energy, Frosty is incredibly sweet and affectionate. He loves people and enjoys being part of the action, making him a wonderful companion for someone who wants a dog that’s both loving and lively. Frosty will do best in a home that understands the needs of an intelligent, active breed and can provide him with structure, exercise, and continued training as he grows. He will need a cat-free home, as he’s not compatible with feline friends. Frosty is looking for a committed adopter who can keep up with his energy level and help him grow into the amazing dog he’s meant to be. In return, he promises loyalty, fun, and plenty of love. If you’re ready for a sweet, spirited Husky puppy to add excitement and companionship to your life, Frosty may be the perfect match. Apply to adopt today: sayvanimals.org/adopt (PLEASE NOTE: Despite what PetFinder, AdoptAPet and other aggregation software systems state - the first step is to submit an application via the link above, NOT send a message through their platforms. Thank you!)

Good with dogs, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Avalanche is a male Husky mix puppy born around 12/25, and he’s as joyful and spirited as his name suggests. This confident, happy guy approaches life with enthusiasm and a wagging tail, always ready for the next game, adventure, or puppy romp. Avalanche must have another playful dog in the home—he truly thrives with a canine buddy to wrestle with, learn from, and burn off some puppy energy alongside. A fully fenced yard is also required, giving him a safe space to run, explore, and enjoy outdoor playtime. Right now he’s around 17 lbs and is expected to grow into a medium-to-large dog. He loves being active and engaged, but once he’s had his fun, he’s all about the cuddles and happily crashes for a well-earned nap. Avalanche is smart, social, and eager to learn, making him a great candidate for continued training as he grows into a well-mannered adult. If you’re looking for a fun-loving puppy who will keep your resident dog entertained, bring laughter into your home, and still snuggle up at the end of the day, Avalanche could be your perfect match. Come meet him and see why this little snowstorm is so special!  If you are interested in adopting/meeting this pup , please complete our online adoption application that you can find here: https://www.starfishanimalrescue.com/adopt/dog-adoption-application  .
