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

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.

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? Please go to our website at www.bigeastakitarescue.org and complete an online adoption application. Applicants should have breed knowledge.

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?

Story
Here she is, our mix of Husky and Aussie Shepherd named Saffron.  Now 10 months old, she wears an exquisite long, wavy coat of black, white, and brown.  And her eyes? Blue, of course!  She has medium-high energy with some Aussie characteristics which reflect her love of play.  She also enjoys going for walks and playing with toys.  Saffron was surrendered to the kill shelter because her owner became ill and could no longer take care of her.  Such a shame!  This is a girl who greatly enjoys being around people, but she would rather be the only pet in the house.  When we brought her out of the shelter and into rescue with us, we promised Saffron that we would find her another wonderful home.  Could that be yours?  (ME, 11/18/23)  (revised 3/11/24) **It is rare that we know with certainty the ages or mixes that make up our dogs, but we do our best to be as accurate as possible based upon our experience. ** Adoption/ Transport $250.00April 28, 2024, 2:43 pm

Presenting our “H” litter of three, Hudson, Holden, and their sister, Harmony.  A mix of Husky and Lab, these siblings weigh about 25 pounds and will mature to between 60 and 70 pounds.  Their coats are short and shiny black and white, or, as in Harmony’s case, black, and they are so sweet looking! But that’s not all these babies have going for them.  They get along well with other dogs, kids, and the foster’s cat!  Each “H” baby is truly a delight!  (posted 1/23/24, TN)  **It is rare that we know with certainty the ages or mixes that make up our dogs, but we do our best to be as accurate as possible based upon our experience. ** Adoption: $395 which covers quarantine, shots, worming, medical records, spaying/neutering, microchip and an Alabama State Health Certificate.   Transport, if needed  $160   We consider the transport to be of great importance and, as such, take particular care of the dogs during the trip . We make every effort to arrive with healthy and minimally stressed dogs.  April 28, 2024, 2:43 pm
