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. Meet Teddy at AHS Newark, NJ animal shelter ahscares.org/adopt Teddy ID# 38446

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. She tested negative for heartworm. Her adoption fee is $450. 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
Help Bella and Bear, a devoted duo of Akitas, find their forever home! Originally found abandoned on a logging road in Montana, this bonded pair embarked on a journey from Oregon to our rescue in New Jersey, demonstrating remarkable resilience. Now settled, they are thriving on treats, leisurely walks, and human companionship. With their affectionate nature, they're suitable for families with older children and would flourish in a home with a secure backyard where they can play freely. As the sole pets in the household, they seek a breed-savvy family to provide the love and care they deserve. Interested in Bella and Bear?

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.
