Story
💔 DESPERATE PLEA – SENIORS NEED A MIRACLE TOGETHER 💔 These two 7-year-old bonded seniors have lost everything. They spent their entire lives together with the only family they ever knew—until their owner passed away. Now, they are dumped, confused, and facing an uncertain future, through no fault of their own. They are sweet, gentle dogs who rely on each other for comfort and safety. Separating them would be heartbreaking—they are all each other has left. Important details: • Must be adopted together • No other pets in the home • Both are loving, calm, and well-mannered • Seniors who deserve peace, not another loss These dogs do not belong in a shelter. They deserve a quiet home, a soft place to land, and someone willing to give them dignity after such a tragic loss. 🙏 Please—be their miracle. PLEASE HELP TEXT KAREN 4136298152

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? Please go to our website at www.bigeastakitarescue.org and put in your application for Bella.

Story
Xena is a mini husky mix/(potentially) Alaskan klee kai about 1 1/2 to 2 years old. She has a sweet nature and a sweet spot for all humans. Xena, though, has a lot of energy. From what I have experienced the past few months with her is a lot of potential. It’s easy to tell that she has never been properly loved and cared for in a household environment. As she’s still decompressing she slowly is improving. I’ve been able to train her with different commands like sit, go potty, off (to get off from jumping or trying to counter surf), and leave it (to avoid her from eating things/ going after people and animals). She needs to absolutely be an only dog and is what I figure to be either dog selective or just reactive to dogs from her past. I believe what Xena truly needs which I cannot fully fulfill at this time is a backyard and a lot of cardio with mental stimulation. I also feel that with the potential she has she would do great after a training course!

Story
🚨 URGENT BIO – THANO SCHEDULED TO BE KILLED 🚨 Thanos is running out of time. Thanos is a beautiful, blue-eyed Husky/herding mix who was recently returned after showing herding behavior while playing with young children. No skin was broken; only superficial teeth and claw scrapes were reported (photos available). This was instinctual behavior, not aggression. 💙 About Thanos: • Neutered • Heartworm negative • ~45 lbs • Dog friendly • Social with cats and people • Smart, active, and engaged Thanos would do best in a home without very young children or with an adopter who understands herding breeds and their play style. He is affectionate, social, and highly adoptable in the right environment—but time is running out. ⏳ Thanos is urgent and set to be killed without immediate HELP. He does not deserve to die for being who he is. PLEASE HELP TEXT KAREN 4136298152
