Akita puppies and dogs in Toronto, Ontario

Kai came to us as a transfer from another shelter, where he was found as a stray and never claimed. This handsome, strong-willed boy is now ready to find his perfect match—a dedicated and experienced caregiver who understands his unique needs. Kai thrives in an environment that offers structure and consistency. He forms deep bonds with his people and can be protective of both his loved ones and his personal space. Due to his protective nature, Kai would do best in a spacious home where he has the ability to be safely separated when visitors arrive. New introductions should be gradual, controlled, and involve proper muzzle training to ensure a positive and safe experience for everyone. While still refining his manners, Kai is making remarkable progress. He’s quickly picking up on positive behaviors, such as sitting for attention and treats. His intelligence is evident as he eagerly engages in training, and he’s making strides every day. At this stage in his journey, Kai would be most comfortable as the only dog in the home, as we continue to assess and work on his interactions with other dogs. The ideal home for Kai will be with experienced dog owners who are familiar with training protective behaviours. He’ll need a spacious, secure home with the option for separation, no other pets, and a commitment to continuing his training with patience, consistency, and understanding.

Quick Facts Name: StellaAge: 2.5 years old (born May 2022)Gender: FemaleNeutered: YesBreed: HuskyColour: White & BlackWeight: 25 kg approximate    My Story I’m Stella, a brave and loving Siberian Husky with a heart full of courage and a spirit that shines brighter than ever. Let me tell you my story!I’m a beautiful black-and-white Husky, weighing about 25 kg (55 lbs). My journey began in a breeding facility where I endured tough conditions before being rescued from a local shelter. Along the way, I faced some challenges, including glaucoma, which led to the removal of my eyes. But don’t let that fool you—I navigate the world with confidence, relying on my other senses and my incredible memory to thrive. Thanks to loving volunteers, I’ve blossomed into a happy, affectionate pup who’s ready to find her forever home.    My Personality I’m a friendly and affectionate girl who loves people. While I had a rough start and was wary of humans initially, I’ve completely opened up and now adore spending time with those who care for me. I’m full of energy, playful, and love to show off my sweet and goofy side. I might get startled if someone touches my face unexpectedly, but with gentle guidance, I quickly regain my trust and composure. Once I know you’re my person, I’ll remember you forever—my loyalty knows no bounds.    My Social Side I’m great with people and enjoy meeting new friends, both human and canine. While I’m happy to share my space and food with people, I might give a little growl if another dog approaches my food bowl—it’s just my way of setting boundaries. I rarely bark, and my calm demeanor makes me a great companion. I’ve adjusted well to life without sight and navigate social situations with ease, relying on my incredible memory and intuition.    Energy and Activities I have a moderate to high energy level typical of Huskies, so I love getting outside for walks and playtime. Despite my blindness, I walk beautifully on a leash and enjoy exploring the world around me with my human. At home, I settle down nicely after some activity and enjoy quiet time by your side. I’m house-trained, comfortable with both outdoor potty routines and indoor pads, making me adaptable to various living arrangements.   Special Notes I’m a resilient, affectionate dog who’s overcome challenges with grace and a wagging tail. My unique journey has only made me stronger and more loving. I don’t let my blindness slow me down—I’m still as playful, active, and joyful as any other dog. With my incredible memory and bond with people, I’ll be your most loyal companion. I might need a bit of extra understanding, but I’ll reward you with endless love, cuddles, and unforgettable moments!   For More YouTube Clips, Click Here!Stella's Playlist ##2458332##

ALL ABOUT ME  Name: Queen Age: Around 2 years old Gender: Female Spayed/Neutered: Yes Breed: Laika Colour: Brown, White, Gray Weight: 20kg / 40lbs Microchipped, Vaccinated, and Dewormed   MY RESCUE STORY Hello there! I’m Queen — a gentle and friendly soul with a heart full of hope and love to give. I’m not quite sure how I ended up in a city pound, but I truly believe everything happens for a reason. Thankfully, some kind-hearted rescuers saw the special sparkle in my eye and gave me a precious second chance to find the love and happiness I deserve. Now, I’m ready to begin the next beautiful chapter of my life — one filled with warmth, comfort, and a forever family who will cherish me just as I am.   MY HEALTH Fully vaccinated (5-round series complete) I’ve been spayed and have no known health issues.   MY PERSONALITY I’m super friendly and absolutely adore people — and I get along great with dogs around my size too! Just like my name, I carry myself with a little royal flair — I love soaking up affection and being the center of attention. Whether it's cuddles, compliments, or playtime, I’m always ready to shine!   I have a high-energy spirit and a heart full of curiosity — true to my Laika roots, I love to run, explore, and embrace every adventure that comes my way. Life is exciting, and I’m always ready to dive in nose-first! When you meet me in person, you’ll see just how stunning I really am — photos and videos simply don’t do me justice. My big, soulful brown eyes have a way of looking right into your heart, and I promise, it won’t take long before I’ve completely stolen it.   MY SOCIAL SKILLS With People: I absolutely love people! Whether you’re an old friend or someone I just met, I’m always happy to receive affection and gentle pets. I haven’t had much experience with kids yet, but because of my sweet and friendly nature, I think I’d do just fine with calm, respectful children who know how to approach me gently.   Don’t let my slightly larger size fool you — I’m a total softie! I’m easy to pick up, and once I feel safe and comfortable, I’ll even roll over and show you my belly as a sign of trust. I’m also very well-mannered when it comes to food — no guarding here. I’m just a loving pup looking to share all the cuddles I can!   With Dogs:  I enjoy meeting new dog friends and generally get along well with dogs around my size. I have a playful, high-energy personality and a confident spirit, so slow, thoughtful introductions are best when I meet new canine companions. While I’m friendly, I’m also not afraid to stand my ground if another dog is being pushy or rude — I like my friendships to be respectful and balanced!   I do have a bit of a jealous streak when it comes to sharing affection. I love being the center of attention and can get a little competitive if another dog is soaking up all the love. Because of this, I’d thrive either as the only dog in the home or with a family that understands and can manage my queen-like tendencies with patience and care.   When it comes to mealtime, I really appreciate having my own space. If another dog gets too close while I’m eating, I might let out a little growl — not to be mean, just my way of saying, “Hey, this is my bowl.” Feeding me separately keeps things calm and respectful for everyone. I can get a bit too enthusiastic around smaller pups and may try to chase them at first, so I’ll need more management and supervision with small pups. With clear boundaries, thoughtful introductions, and positive guidance, I adjust well and respond beautifully. With the right structure and support, I’ll be your fun, loyal, and affectionate companion — full of personality, heart, and love to give!   With Cats:  I haven’t met any cats yet, so my reaction is unknown. Due to my strong prey drive, I would do best in a home without small animals.   ENERGY AND ACTIVITIES Just as you’d expect from a Laika, I’m full of energy and enthusiasm! I need a good dose of exercise and playtime to burn off that excitement before I’m ready to settle in and relax indoors. I absolutely love to play — whether it’s with other dogs or my favorite humans, I’m always up for fun and adventure!   TRAINING & HABITS I’m still working on my leash manners — I can get a bit excited when something interesting catches my eye, so I might pull here and there. But I try my best to follow my handler’s lead and stay on track. I’m also learning how to settle in my kennel. Right now, I may whine a little when I’m inside, but with time, patience, and consistency, I’ll get the hang of it!   When it comes to potty time, I prefer going outdoors — I like to keep things tidy that way! And if I want something or need your attention, I might give a few barks to let you know. What can I say? I like to be heard! With a little guidance and love, I know I’ll continue to grow into a well-mannered, devoted companion.   MY IDEAL HOME I’m looking for a patient, loving family who can help me become the best version of myself. I’ll thrive in a home with: A family that offers a safe, structured, and calm environment. A family that enjoys spending quality time together indoors & outdoors. A family that can shower me with love and attention. A loving family who understands my occasional jealousy and strong love for food around other dogs, and is willing to guide me with patience and positive reinforcement so I can continue learning to share and grow into my best self. Ideally the only dog in the home or a home with another calm, confident dog of my size. Understanding of my high prey drive and willingness to guide me with positive reinforcement training to reduce chasing instincts, improve focus, and help me stay calm around small animals.   SPECIAL NOTES Don’t let my elegant, wolf-like appearance fool you — beneath this graceful exterior is a total goofball! I’m a playful, silly girl who just wants to be by my humans’ side as much as possible. Whether we’re out exploring or snuggled up at home, I’ll be your cheerful shadow and your most loyal friend. I’ve got a heart full of love, a spirit full of fun, and I’m just waiting for the right person or family to share it all with. If you're looking for a sweet, goofy, and devoted companion wrapped in a beautiful, majestic package — I might just be your perfect match. I can’t wait to meet you and start our happily ever after!   For More YouTube Clips, Click Here!Queen’s YouTube Playlist ##2455776##
