Make A Difference in your Community - Adopt a Shelter Dog! Would you like to foster a Shelter Survivor? For more information, visit us at www.sheltersurvivors.com Meet this gorgeous girl Kia! Kia is a six year old, female purebred Akita. Kia is being rehomed because her owner's home situation has changed. Kia's owner reached out to us (Shelter Survivors) in hopes that we can help Kia find her perfect forever home. Kia was bred to be a show dog. Prior to her owner adopting her, she finished her championship. The breeder chose not to breed her and so he put her up for sale. Kia is a wonderful, wonderful dog! She’s mellow in the house, great on a leash, extremely friendly with people. While Kia loves people of all sizes, we feel she would do best in a home without young children. She loves to ride in the car. Kia is great at the vet and groomer and has stayed happily at the kennel when her owner has to travel. Kia has been in crowds in Princeton and on country hikes and she’s terrific. Kia has had multiple dog walkers and she’s great with anyone she is introduced to. Kia can be dog selective, but she does have a best dog friend in the neighborhood she plays happily with. So if you have a dog, a meet and greet is a must. Kia does best with non-reactive dogs. She would also be fine as the one and only. Kia is happy hanging around, but she can also be playful & loves balls and squeaky toys. She has a mild prey-drive, which is not a problem on walks or being outside; especially when you have treats to focus her attention on you. This could be a problem if there was a small animal in the house as an additional pet. Like most Akitas she’s quiet and almost never barks. Kia does get stressed at times, so she is on a bland diet to help her digestive tract healthy. She also takes Prozac to help calm her anxiety. She’s healthy, and up to date on all vaccinations. She has had a gastropexy to prevent bloat. She would be a wonderful companion and most of all she just wants your love. Kia is a big girl who weighs about 98 pounds. We do feel that Kia needs an experienced owner. Previous Akita experience is a plus! If you think you would like to make Kia a part of your family, please fill out our Shelter Survivors application online to be considered. Kia is up to date with her vaccinations and housetrained. To adopt Kia, please complete our online dog application at https://www.sheltersurvivors.com/application.html and return it to sheltersurvivors@live.com. Or go to sheltersurvivors.com, click on the home page, look for "Application" at the top of the home page, and complete the application. Hit the submit button once you have completed the application in its entirety. This will expedite the adoption process. Adoption Fee: $400.00

Story
Mika is a 7 month old Akita rescued from a puppy mill. She was unwanted due to being born with a malformation of her left front leg. That did not stop her from being your typical puppy. At the end of January, she had her leg amputated and she did great! She is getting around just fine, is very social and loves to play with the other dogs. Mika is now ready for her forever home, and is at the perfect age to work on training. Akita breed experience/knowledge required.

Story
A sweet, loving boy to his people ‘pack’, Sully just turned one in March and is displaying bad teenage behavior. He is food aggressive towards our other dogs and more leary of strangers coming into our home. Today, sadly, he went after one of our cats. He would be wonderful in a home with adults / older children and no other pets. He is up to date in all shots, potty trained, and well loved.
