Story
Hello there! Romeo here! I know, can I be any more handsome? I mean, I could be the poster pup for charm and cuteness. I'm a young, single fella, friendly as can be, and trust me, I've got the manners of a true gentleman. I know my basic commands and am always eager to make new friends. Before joining the amazing crew at B.E.A.R., I spent some time wandering the streets, hoping to find a family to call my own. So here I am, tail wagging and heart full of hope, just waiting for the right family to sweep me off my paws! Are you the one I've been waiting for? Let's make some unforgettable memories together. Please go to our website and complete an online application for adoption at www.bigeastakitarescue.org.

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

Story
Meet Buffy & Angel - Double the Akita, Double the Love! Looking for twice the fluff and twice the friendship? Meet Buffy and Angel — two inseparable, six-year-old Akita "sisters" whose favorite thing in the world is being together (well, besides sniffing every corner of the yard). These lovely ladies are everything you want in Akitas: gentle souls, a touch of silly independence, and way more sunshine than their serious expressions let on! Buffy is the cool, collected type; Angel is the classic calm companion. They walk beautifully on leash—side by side, of course!—and have impressed everyone when they were at the shelter with their polite hellos, easy-going attitudes, and quiet confidence. Buffy and Angel are spayed, microchipped, up-to-date on vaccines, and have impeccable manners. They’re housebroken and bring their own brand of Akita charm (read: a little aloof, a lot of loyal). Their ideal home? A loving family with breed experience who wants to double their daily delight. Buffy and Angel are each other’s rock — after a lifetime together, they’re a package deal, and we wouldn’t dream of splitting them up. If your home and heart are big enough for two, these lovely ladies are ready to be your inseparable companions! Ready for double the dog, double the heart, and double the joy? Buffy and Angel are waiting to show you just how wonderful “together forever” can be! Please go to our website and complete an online application for adoption at www.bigeastakitarescue.org.
