Story
Lucy was adopted from HSAC as a younger pup. Unfortunately due to divorce she has found herself homeless. She is a true companion dog wanting to be with her person/people and doesn't understand why she's stuck in a shelter. She would do best as an only pet as she doesn't like to share her people or things with other dogs. She can be a little timid meeting new people but quickly turns into a "shadow" dog wanting to be right with you. She's a quiet, mild mannered girl and would prefer a quieter home with no small children. Primary Color: Tri Color Weight: 54 Age: 4yrs 11mths 1wks

Story
Hello there, I'm Max, a seasoned Akita with a heart full of love. My days are filled with friendly tail wags and curious sniffs around my humble abode. I've got a mellow demeanor, but don't let that fool you, I'm quite the smarty. I've learned a lot in my years and I'm eager to share my wisdom. I'm the kind of dog who appreciates the simple joys of life. A warm bed, a good meal, and a kind hand to pat my head are all I need to be happy. My golden years are just as golden as my spirit. I'm looking for a forever home where I can share my love and wisdom. Adopt me and let's make beautiful memories together.

Story
Hello, I'm Bruno, a senior Akita with a heart full of love. I'm a friendly chap, always ready to share a goofy joke or a funny antic. My loyalty knows no bounds, and I promise to be your most faithful companion. I'm a bit of an old soul, but that just means I've got plenty of wisdom to share. I love lazy afternoons, belly rubs, and the joy of companionship. I might be a senior, but my spirit is young. I'm full of life, love, and laughter. Adopting me means gaining a friend who will stick by your side through thick and thin, always ready to brighten your day with a wagging tail and a warm nuzzle. So, how about it? Will you give this old dog a new leash on life?

Story
Meet Gage, the resilient pup with a heart as big as his will to wag his tail! Gage hails from Memphis, TN, where he sadly endured a close-range gunshot wound to his back. Despite his past, Gage remains loving towards people, offering tail wags as a sign of his affection. Now in NJ after being discharged from the hospital, Gage is a friendly, energetic fellow in need of a secure, fenced-in yard where he can frolic and play. Gage's past as a stray remains a mystery, but his love for food has made training a breeze for this cheerful guy. Will you be the one to finally give Gage the loving home he deserves?

Help Bella and Bear, a devoted duo of Akitas, find their forever home!

Story
Introducing Pina: Pina's story is one of resilience and love. She was once cherished by a devoted mom who nurtured her, but sadly, unexpected circumstance led her to needing a new home after her mom suddenly passed away. Despite the loss she endured, Pina remains a bright and affectionate soul, although she may need a bit of time to rebuild her trust. A well-behaved girl who is adept at basic commands, she's an excellent companion in the home. With patience and proper introduction, Pina could potentially thrive alongside a male large breed dog. Join Pina's journey and be the one to offer her the loving home she deserves. Interested in meeting Pina, please go to the website and fill out an online adoption application at www.bigeastakitarescue.org.

Story
Meet Luna! Luna is a 6 month old pup who now looking for her furever home. This girl is very confused being in a shelter. She was in a home her whole upbringing; however, their landlord said she wasn't allowed. Luna is still very much a puppy and would need to go into a home with no young kids. We also recommend she goes to a home with a fenced in yard. She has really come out of her shell and is very well behaved on a leash, she keeps her kennel clean and should be easy to housetrain.
