Meet Rambo, the athletic and smart Akita who is looking for an experienced Akita owner to give him the time and respect he needs to form a strong bond. Rambo comes from a local animal shelter along with his mother, Coco, after their owner lost their housing. Rambo is a young, aloof male Akita who can be playful once he bonds with a person. He knows basic commands, loves playing with his toys, and enjoys zoomies in the yard. Due to his need to be the focus of the family, we are asking that Rambo go to a home with adults only and without other pets. If you are an experienced Akita owner looking for a loyal and athletic companion, Rambo could be the perfect match for you. Interested in meeting Rambo?

Buc'ee, the big-hearted Akita with a sunny disposition! Currently undergoing treatment for heartworm and once complete, Buc'ee will soon be joining us here in NJ where he'll be ready for adoption. This friendly and curious fellow is great with children and is housetrained, making him an ideal family companion. However, Buc'ee is not fond of other dogs or cats, so he would do best as the only pet in the household. Despite this, Buc'ee is a hoot to be around, and we're sure he'll bring joy and laughter to his future family. Are you ready to give Buc'ee the loving home he deserves? Keep an eye out for more updates on this lovable guy coming soon!
