Story
Meet Gorgeous Dark Brindle Akita Klive! Klive is a 6 month old full Akita saved from a puppy mill and he is already coming in around 60 lbs, so he is going to be a big boy. He has the most beautiful markings and that dark face, with those piercing eyes...you have to wonder what he is thinking, but then I realize he is thinking about his next toy! Klive is always on the lookout, any stops to listen to any new noise, I think those ears are antenna's! :) Klive's favorite things are the outdoors and his toys! He loves all kinds of toys, but squeaky ones and bones are his favorite. He is doing great on potty training, most of the time he will wait for his outside play time or he will go on potty pads in his enclosed room. He does Great on a Leash and Car Rides as well. Klive will lean into you for pets all the time and he likes to give you a few kisses while you are giving him a good rub. He seems to be good around other dogs as a puppy, but since he is going to be on the large side, you would have to watch him not to step on others. He doen't realize his size and Akita's like to "touch" with their paws, and his are not small! This boy will do about anything for a treat and you will be his person if you are the one giving them to him! If you are looking to have a Beautiful Big New Best Friend...Klive is the one for you! Eventhough Klive loves to go on walks and smell everything, he will also Require a Fenced yard to release some of his energy. His zoomies are for real. When he stretchs out and runs, he looks so beautiful! Akita's are AMAZING dogs, but not for everybody, please read up on the breed before applying. Klive is currently being fostered in the Cincinnati, OH area. His adoption fee is $300.00. To adopt this animal, please visit https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt All of our animals come spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, are microchipped, heartworm negative, current on flea/tick and heartworm prevention, dewormed, and treated for any ailments found upon veterinary examination. The adoption fee covers a portion of these services, and makes it possible for us to continue rescuing animals. For more information on the adoption fees and the adoption process, please complete our adoption application here: https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt - an application allows us to get to know your family better so we can assess whether the animal you are interested in is a good match for your home.

WE ARE A TX-BASED RESCUE. THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN TX AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED UPON ADOPTION. Please fill out an adoption application at haydudeequine.org 🌙 Meet Amira — The Adventurous Husky Princess Ready for Her Happily Ever After 🌙 (Female • Husky • ~2 Years • ~45 lbs) After raising her beautiful litter with patience, love, and the kind of calm wisdom only a good momma possesses, Amira is officially ready for her chapter — the one where she gets to be the star, the sidekick, the adventure buddy, and the center of someone’s world. At around 2 years old and approximately 45 pounds, Amira is the perfect blend of sweet, friendly, and athletic. She’s got that classic Husky sparkle in her eyes — the one that says, “I love you… but also, I might try to outsmart your fence.” Yes, she’s an escape artist. A graceful, strategic, probably-should-have-her-own-action-movie escape artist. Because of her athleticism and creativity, she’ll thrive in a home that chooses leash walks or adventure outings over backyard alone time. Hiking? Jogging? Exploring? She’s all in. Checking the mail? She’ll come too. Now that her mom duties are done, she wants to be included in all the family goings-on. Amira is wonderful with kids and other dogs, and she carries a calm, reassuring energy — the kind that makes you feel like everything’s a little better when she’s nearby. Cats are still an unknown, but with her affectionate nature, slow and proper introductions could set her up for success. She’s playful, sweet, and deeply loyal. After pouring her heart into caring for her pups, she’s ready to receive that same love back — long walks, warm snuggles, silly moments, and a home that treats her like the amira (princess) she truly is. 🌟 Amira’s Stats: - Female Husky - Around 2 years old - ~45 lbs - Friendly, playful, athletic - Great with kids & other dogs - Cats: unknown - Escape artist — best with leash walks & secure handling - Active, outdoorsy homes are her dream match If you're searching for a stunning, spirited, affectionate dog who will adore being part of your adventures — Amira is ready to step into the spotlight and finally live the good life she deserves. 👉 Apply today at haydudeequine.org — and let Amira be part of every sunrise, every stroll, and every happy moment ahead. 🐾💙
