Story
Tom (A546844) Tom was very nervous and unsure of me when I first took him out for a walk but came along willingly and cautiously. Once we got out of the kennel and started walking, he untucked his tail and started to enjoy his time outside. He takes time to warm up but is very sweet and loving. He pulls every once and a while on the leash but overall is a very good boy. Once he warms up, I have no doubt that he will by his person’s side and be there for them.

Story
Yuji ("brave second son") is a 2-year-old male (neutered) American Akita. He currently lives in a suburban area with myself, my husband, and our 6-year-old son. We are looking to find him a new home based on a few behavioral and breed-specific behaviors that we are no longer able to manage well. Yuji has a confident and dominant personality. Like most Akitas, he is loyal, silly, and loving with his family, but will show dominance, which is an issue with our young son. He is wary of strangers, and has shown resource guarding on occasion. Yuji is crate trained, housebroken, and well-behaved in the house. We have had success with trainers (our trainer is offering free sessions to Yuji's adopters!), but Yuji will need an experienced owner that knows working breeds. Yuji is smart and knows his commands, including "place." He walks well on leash, but is reactive (especially to loud trucks, bicycles, and runners). Fee is listed to encourage well-meaning adopters.

Story
Cassie's owner was  homeless and realized that he had to give her up for her sake.  She was frightened in the shelter initially, but warmed up to the staff fairly quickly.  When our volunteer went to meet her, all Cassie wanted to do was sit next to her and be petted.  She will not be available until after she is spayed in Mid-April.  We are still getting to know Cassie better so  stay tuned for more info.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 27, 2024, 12:06 am
