Story
Meet King 👑 King is a stunning 8-year-old, 100 lb. purebred Akita who is ready to spend his golden years in a calm, loving home. True to his breed, King is stoic, deeply loyal, and beautifully balanced—independent yet affectionate in all the right ways. He enjoys peaceful walks, quiet moments, and soaking up love through ear scratches and gentle neck massages. King has a grounding presence about him—the kind of dog who doesn’t demand attention, but whose companionship means everything. King’s journey hasn’t been easy. He was found as a stray in Missouri before making his way to The Asher House Sanctuary, where he’s finally getting the care he deserves. He finished his treatment for heartworm and he's doing great! King is ready to receive the same love and loyalty that he gives so freely. While he may be entering his senior years, he still has plenty of life, heart, and companionship to offer. His soul is gentle, steady, and incredibly special. His ideal home would be a family with breed experience that has children over 10 and offers him a calm, stable environment. He would likely do well with most dogs with a proper introduction, and we don't recommend that he live with cats. King is more than just a beautiful dog—he’s a loyal companion waiting for someone who understands and appreciates the quiet depth of who he is. If you’re looking for a devoted best friend to share peaceful days and meaningful moments, King may be your perfect match. His adoption fee is $295 and he's neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. Apply to meet King today! 🐾

Story
Hi, I’m Shelly, a 3 year old, 50 lb. Akita, American Pit Bull Terrier Mix and I'm a sweet and active girl with a big personality, a love for adventure, and a serious appreciation for attention from my humans. I may take a little time to settle into new situations and get fully comfortable, but I’m confident, social, and curious as I get to know my environment and the people in it. Once I’m in my groove, my affectionate side really shines. I love being with my people, getting attention, and sharing space with those I trust. I’m the kind of dog who enjoys being part of the action, whether that’s hanging out with you or heading out for a walk or adventure. I do well with other dogs as long as they respect my space and play style. I enjoy social time, but I also appreciate polite boundaries and calm interactions. I am not a match for homes with cats. I do resource guard around my food with people, so I need a home that understands structure and management during mealtimes. Because of this, I would do best with children 12 and up who can respect my space and understand that I need to be left alone when I am eating. Clear boundaries help me succeed and feel secure. What I’m really looking for is a home that matches my energy, appreciates my affectionate side, and understands that I do best with clear boundaries and consistency. I’m active, loving, and full-of-personality and am ready to share adventures, connection, and a whole lot of heart with the right family! My adoption fee is $295 and I'm spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. Apply to meet me today!

Dakota is a handsome name, kind of a "rugged" kind of name, right?? I am kind of a REFINED RUGGED kind of boy! NOT!! I am a snuggle bug looking for tummy scratches....I willl MELT for one!! Here is what one of our amazing fosters have to say about Dakota...."Super freaking sweet, loves loves belly rubs, is very strong when you walk him but listens well. VERY treat motivated and knows sit down paw and i just taught him roll over yesterday but its a work in progress 😝. Super playful, he will pounce around you and then roll over for belly rubs and absolutely melts for the belly rubs and kisses" I love playing and running with my doggy friends, however, I can lay at your feet very sweetly to beg for your attention. I am kind of like a "reverse" planter as well. I mean, you plant it and i will un-plant it for you :D I won't do it often, just when I want your attention and I am outside alone. So see?? you have great control over that urge! So I am a food and toy lover too, I eat out of a slow feeder bowl because wolfing down my food is not an option! I am learning all things toys and am actually learning how to bring the ball BACK after you throw it. I am a smart and very sweet boy. I do absolutely have a prey drive so no kitties for small furry mammals around me please. I am fully potty trained and great in a crate. Now i just need you to adopt me to complete my circle of life. Now, before you go all "Lion King" on me, just know that I will be your bestest buddy forever!! I am two VERY loyal breeds and once I know you are my family, you will have my unending love :) Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)

**All dogs are by appointment only, please inquire through Petfinder, Adopt-a-pet, Rescueme.org or e-mail us directly at shelter@hbpets.org for the dogs questionnaire*** Hi, I am Goose, I am an Akita Mix, I am almost 8yrs old, Neutered male. I am a Homeward Bound Alumni, through no fault of my own, my 1st adopters had me for 3yrs and had to bring me back after some major life changes. I waited a long time and then found an amazing man named Jim, we had a wonderful 5 months together, but Jim's health took a turn and he could no longer safely care for me, we were both heartbroken and so was our shelter teams. Here I am waiting for a wonderful person to come along, I do like to wander so a fenced yard is a must, my ideal person would maybe take me on a short walk, I am way past my marathon walking days, I love kids (over the age of 10yrs) and am very good with them, I like dogs from a far but I don't want to live with them. I am a big, sweet, goofy boy and love to wander around the yard with you, maybe while you do your yard work. My adoption fee is $150, Sponsored by Sarah and Adam.

Story
Looking to Re-Home Two Siberian Husky mixes. Boo & Wazowski are brother and sister and have been together since birth. They’re just under 2 years old (born January 3rd) and are extremely bonded, so they must stay together. They’re great around adults, kids, and other dogs. They can be a little nervous at first, but they warm up quickly and are very sweet once comfortable. Both are in excellent health, fixed, and up-to-date on their shots. They have lived primarily outdoors, so they aren’t fully house trained yet, but they have been indoors for short periods and have never been destructive. They are crate trained. As northern breeds, they do have the typical traits: • Can be little escape artists (but have never actually run away) • Boo loves to dig • They’re great at hunting field mice and small rodents • Active, smart, and playful They’ve lived with five other dogs with no issues. We have to move closer to the city and can’t take them with us, so we’re looking for a loving, stab

Story
Dodger is an 8 year old Husky looking for a new home. He would do best in a home with a yard but he does well in apartment settings as long as he is walked daily. Dodger spends about 80% of his time laying around the house and the other 20% playing. He always loves pets. He has a pretty mild temperament is I would say for a husky he is not the most vocal. I got dodger from a rescue organization and they estimated him to be around four years of age in 2022. Before me he bounced around from home to home. He can get anxious but just being in the same room as him helps a lot. He takes shots at the vet well and has no known health issues. He does well with kids and other dogs. Cats are a big no for him, he thinks they are prey. He is good on leashed walks, he can pull sometimes, but he does not lunge at other animals while on leash. I have had a few incidents where unleashed dogs have tried to attack dodger, but he stayed calmly at my side and let me handle the situation.

Story
With a heavy heart, I am looking to find a new home for my sweet husky. He is approximately 10 years old (based on the shelter’s estimate when I adopted him in 2020) and is neutered. He is truly one of the calmest huskies you’ll ever meet. He spends most of his days happily napping and relaxing, and he’s not the typical vocal or high-energy husky. He enjoys walks and does pull on the leash, but he does very well with a head halter. He has lived with other dogs and generally does well, though he would likely thrive as the only dog in the home where he can have all the attention. Because he has shown interest in chasing cats on walks, I think a cat-free home would be the best fit. He has been a wonderful companion, and this decision has not been easy. I’m simply looking for a home where he’ll receive the time, attention, and love he deserves during his senior years. He is vaccinated, though he is not currently up to date on his vaccines.
