Story
Rex is a big, handsome boy with surprisingly easy leash manners. Despite his size, he walks calmly without pulling and takes treats very gently—clearly a polite gentleman who is also very treat motivated.He is absolutely stunning, inside and out, and brings a great sense of humor with him. After going potty, Rex feels very strongly about covering his work and enthusiastically kicks dirt everywhere. Need a four-legged tiller for your yard? Rex has you covered. ??Rex enjoys fetch and plays nicely—no guarding at all. He’ll happily replace his ball for a treat, showing off both his good manners and his eagerness to engage with his handler. He was adventurous and confident when trying out the ramp and approached new experiences with curiosity and enthusiasm.He’s a solid mid-energy boy who enjoys playtime but knows when he’s done. Rex would be a fantastic companion for someone looking for a fun, responsive, and well-mannered dog with a big personality and an even bigger heart. Rex A537062Neutered/3 yrs old/ 67 pounds/Listed as Great Dane and Akita mix Rex has found himself back at the shelter through no fault of his own. He wasn’t getting along with the resident dog but he also wasn’t given enough time to decompress and as a smart, energetic working breed, that adjustment time really matters. With the right structure, training, and outlet for his energy, Rex has all the potential to thrive. More about big handsome Rex:Active & athletic — enjoys running around and would love an adopter who’s ready to keep him moving Toy fanatic! Loves all the toys—fetch, tug, and proudly holding onto the ball like it’s his prized possession Affectionate guy who offers sweet kisses once he’s having funSmart cookie who knows sit and is highly treat-motivated (training will be a win!)Playful but polite — didn’t mind sharing toys, just likes to keep one closeHouse-training potential — went potty several times outsideThose ears!

Story
Findi is a calm, gentle adult female Akita who has been a beloved family dog her whole life. She was surrendered due to owner allergies, through no fault of her own. Findi is house-trained, well-mannered, and knows all her basic commands. She’s lived happily with an 11-year-old child, a small dog, and a cat, and has shown herself to be both kid-friendly and pet-friendly. True to her laid-back nature, Findi enjoys lounging around, brushing sessions, car rides, and keeping cozy with her favorite blanket. She can be a little shy at first with new people but warms up quickly and loves to settle in for quiet companionship. If you’re looking for a calm, affectionate, easygoing companion, Findi may be the perfect fit.

Story
NEED FOSTER HOME FOR ONE OF THE MIXED PUPPIES FROM KIKKI'S STAR WARS LITTER!! Meet Hera, a loving, energetic companion looking for a foster or forever home. Hera is a charming dog with a heart full of loyalty and affection. She can be shy upon initially meeting someone, but adapts quickly. Once comfortable, her playful spirit and boundless energy shine through. Hera enjoys walks and is currently building confidence on leash. She has been fostered in a multi-animal home and gets along with other dogs very well. She sometimes needs a reminder to give the cats some space. She is potty trained as well as crate trained although she can be anxious when left alone at times. A calm, male companion would be ideal for her. Her foster home is currently working on basic training, including some tricks. She is very smart but can be stubborn. You will need some creativity to keep her engaged while training. Several short sessions as opposed to a long one. If you are looking for a devoted friend who will bring joy and enthusiasm into your life, Hera might be a match. Her lovable personality would ensure her becoming a cherished part of your family!! She is very smart and needs an owner who will engage her brain: obedience, fast cat, agility.  Prefer owners with some previous experience with dogs.  She will be spayed prior to placement.  See more pix and video at https://www.facebook.com/akitarescue.org/Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 10, 2025, 8:47 am
