Latte's affectionate nature makes her a true companion- she'll happily keep you company on long walks, jogs, or playing in the yard. She's friendly with other dogs but prefers playing with dogs her own size. Latte would thrive with an active family or a home where she can spread her legs and show off her zoomies. She would love a fenced yard to run around. in return she'll give you loyalty, joy and the best kind of love. Latte is fixed, microchipped and up to date on vaccines.

Adopting a dog is a commitment that will require annual veterinary care at a minimum, training, exercise, enrichment, etc. Pet care is not cheap or easy and adopters should consider the costs, time and training prior to adoption. After all these dogs have been through they deserve a loving, committed home. How to Adopt Me!

Story

He may be called Teddy, but he’s no plushie! Four-year-old Akita Teddy is a sweet, handsome boy who gets along wonderfully with both dogs and cats! He’s social with the ladies, and while he can be a bit unsure around men at first, he warms up with patience and kindness. True to his Akita roots, Teddy’s protective instincts run deep — he loves hard and wants nothing more than for his family to feel safe and happy. Teddy is house-trained, neutered, and ready to find his forever home! Because Akitas are a nuanced breed with unique traits and needs, we’d love to see Teddy with a family experienced in the breed and ready to appreciate all the special things that make him who he is.

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Hachiko!Hachiko came to the shelter as a stray after being found wandering, and his past remains a bit of a mystery. From the start, he has shown himself to be calm, composed, and quietly social. He tends to observe his surroundings first, then approaches people on his own terms, accepting pets and attention with a neutral, steady demeanor. Hachiko has a thoughtful presence and prefers respectful interactions rather than constant handling.My Ideal HomeHachiko would do best in a calm, experienced home that understands independent, sensitive dogs. He thrives with adopters who can move at his pace, respect his boundaries, and allow him to initiate interactions. A quiet environment, predictable routine, and positive, low-pressure training will help him feel secure. Mental enrichment and daily walks are important to keep him balanced and engaged.Good with Kids?No young children. Hachiko prefers calm, predictable interactions and would be most comfortable in an adult-only home or one with older, dog-savvy teens who can respect his space.Good with Other Pets?Hachiko's history with other animals is unknown. In shelter observations, he has shown interest in other dogs and can become overstimulated, particularly during introductions. Careful management and slow, structured introductions would be essential in any multi-dog home. His history with cats is unknown.Leash MannersHachiko walks politely on leash with little to no pulling. He may move slowly at times and prefers calm, low-pressure walks where he can observe and sniff without being rushed.Overall HealthRecovering from CIRDC.Behavior DeterminationLevel 2 - Hachiko is generally easy to handle but can be fearful or anxious in new situations. He benefits from slow introductions, choice-based interactions, and a low-stress environment to build confidence.Other Fun FactsHachiko enjoys leaning in for gentle pets, taking treats politely, and quietly spending time near his people. He's not overly toy-driven and prefers calm companionship. Once he feels comfortable, his steady, loyal nature really shines through Primary Color: Brown Secondary Color: White Weight: 86.125 Age: 4yrs 1mths 1wks

Story

Meet Oley!Oley is a sweet and affectionate dog who found himself in need of a new home after his previous owner, who had to relocate, was no longer able to care for him. He's been a great companion, showing a calm and gentle nature with the people he's met so far. Oley is a social guy who enjoys being close to his family, whether it's hanging out in the living room or spending time with people in the bedroom. He has a playful side, especially when it comes to stuffed animal toys or playing tug-of-war, but he also loves lounging around and enjoying a good bath! My Ideal HomeOley is looking for a home where he can relax and be close to his people. He would do best in a calm environment with someone who can spend a lot of time with him. He needs a household without young children (under 5) and no cats, as he has shown some lunging behavior towards cats in the past. Oley is a great dog for someone who enjoys a low-key lifestyle and can provide him with the attention and space he needs to thrive. He enjoys his daily walks and would love a home with a securely fenced yard for leisurely outdoor time. Good with Kids?Yes, Oley is friendly and outgoing with older kids, but he would do best in a home without very young children. He is playful and affectionate around older children who can respect his space and boundaries, but his resource guarding tendencies and behavior around younger children make him unsuitable for homes with kids under 5. Good with Other Pets?Oley has lived with other dogs before and is generally friendly and outgoing with them, so he could thrive in a home with another dog. However, he does not do well with cats. He has shown a tendency to lunge at them during walks, which is a behavior that will need to be managed carefully with training. As for small animals, it's recommended that they also be kept out of his environment. Leash MannersOley walks well on a leash and doesn't pull, making him a great companion for leisurely strolls. However, he does have some on-leash reactivity, particularly when it comes to cats, so he may need some work on impulse control and focus during walks. It's recommended to use a secure harness and leash, keep a safe distance from triggers, and incorporate positive reinforcement techniques like "leave it" and "watch me" to help manage his reactivity. Overall HealthOley is a generally healthy dog, although he's been showing signs of mild anemia and osteoarthritis, as well as some dental disease. He's currently undergoing treatment for a respiratory issue (CIRDC) and some mild inappetence, but with the right care, he's expected to improve. Oley is also a senior dog, so his medical needs will need to be managed. Primary Color: White Secondary Color: Tan Weight: 104 Age: 11yrs 0mths 3wks
