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 $300(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story
 Meet Sir: The Ultra-Chill Gentle      Breed: Akita Age: Almost 8 years old Weight: 115 lbs Coat: Incredibly soft and plush   If you are looking for a big, handsome companion with a calm spirit, Sir is your man! At almost 8 years old, Sir has mastered the art of being "chill." He is a quiet boy who rarely barks, preferring to spend his days finding a nice, cool spot on the floor to stretch out and relax.   Sir has a heart as big as his paws. He loves his people deeply and is incredibly generous with his sweet doggy kisses. When he isn't napping or showing affection, you can usually find him happily carrying around his favorite plush stuffy.   Sir is a total gentleman who knows his manners and is wonderfully gentle when taking treats from your hand. He has previously lived happily with another large dog, but he would also thrive as a pampered solo king in a relaxed home.   If you have a cool floor and plenty of love to give, Sir is ready to be your loyal, low-maintenance best friend! If you are interested, complete the  Adoption Application  on our website at  www.NeedyPaws.org  and we will contact you.  Adopters must live within an hour’s drive of St. Louis, MO. Sir's adoption fee is $295.00, which includes up-to-date vaccinations, heartworm testing and preventative, spay/neuter and microchip. We are a 100% foster-based rescue and all of our dogs live in approved foster homes. We are dedicated to finding the best Forever Homes, and will perform home visits and conduct veterinarian and reference checks for each potential adopter.

Story
Not all stories start like Mochi’s. Back in September, an emaciated Akita with a ratchet strap embedded in her neck came to us in desperate need of help, and Partners for Pets stepped in without hesitation. What followed was months of healing. Daily cold laser therapy, constant bandage changes, and so much patience. Through it all, Mochi showed us exactly who she is: tolerant, loving, and unbelievably forgiving. Now fully healed and ready for a home, Mochi has been waiting, and waiting, and waiting… Including her recovery time, she is the longest resident in our care, living shelter life for 205 days and stepping onto our adoption floor for 157 days with minimal interest. And we just don’t get it. 💔 Mochi loves people of all age and size. She really, really loves toys. She walks beautifully on a leash and keeps a spotless kennel. She’s calm and easygoing, but enjoys playtime when the mood hits. She can be a little picky with food, but ice cream and pork flavored treats are her absolute favorites. She does well in a crate, doesn’t know formal commands, but has lovely natural manners and will come when called… when she feels like it. (Akita 😆) We suspect part of the reason Mochi has been overlooked is due to her breed. She is independent and confident, and not the kind of dog who needs constant affection. She’s happiest doing her own thing, then checking in for love on her terms. It makes the moments she chooses you that much more special. ❤️ Mochi can play with male dogs her size, but her ideal home is one where she can be the only dog, maybe with occasional visits from a pal. She has a pushy, vocal playstyle and makes sure other dogs know that she is the queen- no ifs, ands, or buts. She is also incompatible for homes with cats. If you love Akitas, primitive breeds, or you’re a cat person ready to switch things up a bit, we can guarantee you will fall head over heels for Mochi! She has waited more than long enough. Let’s find her the home she deserves. ❤️ 📍Partners for Pets 9136 Lower Marine Road Saint Jacob, IL 62281 🕚Sunday-Saturday 11-5; Wednesday 11-6 ADOPT⬇️ https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/PAD/Dog

My adoption fee is $100 Meet Mercy! Mercy is a beautiful Akita with a gentle heart who’s looking for a family willing to help her blossom. She enjoys the simple things in life—especially being brushed (spa days are definitely her favorite!) and tearing around the yard with joyful zoomies once she feels comfortable.  August 14, 2026, 1:44 am
